This week we are going to discuss fibrocartilage, a very specific type of cartilage found in the body which is often damaged causing musculoskeletal dysfunction. Fibrocartilage is a specialized form ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient's ...

Osteoarthritis is one of the most expensive and disabling conditions in modern medicine, driving joint replacements and ...

Medical science stands at the threshold of a transformative breakthrough in orthopedic treatment as researchers pioneer technologies enabling natural cartilage regeneration. A groundbreaking study ...

A ‘dancing molecule’ therapy, which was previously used to reverse paralysis after spinal cord injury, has now been applied to damaged human cartilage cells, demonstrating its regenerative effect.

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 ...

The thyroid cartilage surrounds the thyroid gland in the middle of the throat. Its primary function is to protect and support the vocal cords. It is one of the laryngeal cartilages, which make up the ...

Arthritis in general is defined as damage to cartilage, the connective tissue that cushions joints, explains Jeffrey Zarin, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute. “Think of ...
