Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union.

A study in mice and people with osteoarthritis suggests semaglutide can bulk up cartilage between bones, though bigger trials ...

Cartilage is a connective tissue composed of chondrocytes embedded in an extracellular matrix of collagen, proteoglycan and elastin fibres. In joints, cartilage functions to reduce the friction ...

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 ...

Osteoarthritis often goes undetected until cartilage damage is advanced, limiting treatment options. A new study shows that ...

An experimental inhibitor regrew cartilage in aged mice, opening up an alternative to arthritis and prosthetics.

Osteoarthritis often goes undetected until cartilage damage is advanced, limiting treatment options. A new study shows that molecular changes in subchondral bone occur earlier and can signal disease ...

Explore an innovative knee cartilage regeneration method that offers osteoarthritis sufferers a promising alternative to ...

Around 500 million years ago, early vertebrates in the seas became fish, adopting an inner skeleton and a flexible spine based on a nanocmposite of fibers and mineral, known as bone material. This ...

An injury to the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone can be very painful. Although recovery times can vary, rib cartilage fractures typically take at least 6 weeks to heal. The ribs in ...

As a specialised connective tissue comprised of chondrocytes, cartilage plays a vital role in movement and structural integrity with cartilage-related pathologies due to damage and degeneration often ...
