Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

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 ...

With funding from ARPA-H, three teams of researchers have regrown bone and cartilage, even entire knees, in animal studies. Human trials are not far off. By Gina Kolata Three years ago, a little-known ...

Bone-on-bone arthritis is not a clinical term. However, people may use it to refer to advanced or severe osteoarthritis (OA). At this point, the “wear and tear” or degeneration is severe enough that ...

An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment ...

A newly developed biomaterial might be able to treat crippling arthritis by prompting the growth of new cartilage, a new animal study suggests. The bioactive material looks like rubbery goo, but it's ...

Extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stem cells promoted cartilage production in human tissues, offering a potential ...

Osteochondritis dissecans occurs when a fragment of cartilage and underlying bone detach from the joint surface. When it affects the ankle, it can cause stiffness, pain, swelling, and reduced range of ...

Stanford researchers have shown that blocking a single enzyme called 15-PGDH can regrow lost cartilage in aging mouse knees and prevent arthritis after ligament injuries. The enzyme, which degrades ...

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, ...
