Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at ...

A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Is it possible to grow tissue in the laboratory, for example to replace injured cartilage? At TU Wien (Vienna), an important step has now been taken towards creating replacement tissue in the lab - ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. In November ...

Overall, the study shows that it is possible to create safe, cell-free tissue structures that effectively help the body build new ...

GelrinC-treated patients demonstrated layered cartilage architecture similar to native hyaline cartilage - widely regarded as ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

A Washington State University research team is working to create an artificial cartilage that is similar to natural cartilage, with a recipe that can be corrected along the way. The researchers, ...

A novel cartilage-regenerating injection blocks age-related degeneration pathways and shows potential to prevent osteoarthritis beyond pain control.

A newly discovered cell type could transform how plastic surgeries are performed—from facial reconstructions to nose jobs. Cartilage transplants are central to many procedures, being used to fix cleft ...
