Stanford Medicine's June 2026 study in Science found that blocking the aging protein 15-PGDH restored lost cartilage in mice ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Researchers found that extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stem cells promoted cartilage regeneration and reduced ...

Advances in spatial omics, such as transcriptomics and proteomics, have provided vital insights into cartilage microenvironments, revealing cellular diversity, zonal organization and links between ...

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, ...

In November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving "dancing molecules," to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal ...

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 - ...

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 toward creating replacement tissue in the lab—using ...

Repairing osteochondral tissue is challenging due to its hierarchical structure, mechanical heterogeneity, and the need for spatial control over stem cell differentiation. Advances in tissue ...

In patients with severe osteoarthritis, cartilage can wear so thin that joints essentially transform into bone on bone — without a cushion between. A new therapy that uses synthetic nanofibers to ...
