Hypertrophic chondrocytes are deeply involved in the growth of mammalian bones. Researchers find that these cells transform ...

Stable joint cartilage can be produced from adult stem cells originating from bone marrow. This is made possible by inducing specific molecular processes occurring during embryonic cartilage formation ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing ...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is believed to provide pain relief and help improve joint function in degenerative joint disease, but a new study has shown that it does not act by promoting stem cell ...

A nanozyme-integrated hydrogel targets AGEs in diabetic osteoarthritis, enhancing cartilage function and mobility in diabetic ...

Successful repair of knee cartilage relies on an ideal integration of surgical technique and supportive scaffolds promoting cartilage formation. Existing commercial scaffolds are often associated with ...

A recent article in Engineering describes the development of a protein-based nanocomposite hydrogel designed to deliver two therapeutic agents—dexamethasone (Dex) and kartogenin (KGN)—to support ...

A torn meniscus, the cartilage in the knee, is a common sports injury, and unfortunately it doesn’t heal well. But researchers in Japan have now identified a hormone that helps repair the cartilage ...
