Cartilage is the body’s most stubborn tissue. Once it wears away, it’s usually gone for good. This biological dead-end is the ...

A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune rejection. New research suggests it may be possible to repair major bone damage ...

This rare outcome in cartilage repair suggests true biological cartilage regeneration, not merely defect filling Unlike traditional scaffolds, GelrinC limits fibrotic tissue overgrowth, supporting ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

Stanford scientists regrow cartilage by blocking an ageing enzyme, reversing arthritis damage in mice and human tissue ...

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which commonly impacts the knees, hands, hips, neck and lower back. This is the first of two stories describing recent progress in understanding the ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease and the leading cause of pain in older people. OA often begins by age 40 and can worsen as we age with twenty-four percent (24.6%) of all ...

For decades, damaged joint cartilage has been a one-way street toward pain, stiffness, and eventually metal and plastic replacements. Now researchers are uncovering ways to coax the body into ...
