Replacing cartilage is a stubborn problem, but new research shows a few potential paths forward. Millions of U.S. residents—perhaps up to 3 percent of the population—have an artificial hip, knee, or ...

Your knees have been lying to you. All those years of accepting that cartilage damage was permanent, that arthritis was inevitable wear-and-tear, that joint replacement surgery was your eventual ...

Scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. New material comprises peptides, proteins and ...

An experimental injection may help the body repair joint damage, offering new hope for osteoarthritis treatment.

Osteoarthritis, a painful condition where bone grinds against bone due to cartilage degradation, affects over 500 million people worldwide, with the knee being the most commonly afflicted joint, ...

Osteoarthritis has no cure, but researchers have developed new therapies that help aging or damaged joints repair themselves ...

Biologists and materials scientists are experimenting with a new approach to cartilage replacement. They've developed a novel biomaterial that rebuilds damaged cartilage, creating new, high-quality ...

Researchers have been seeking artificial ways to reproduce natural human cartilage and tendons in terms of performance, so far to little success given the complexity of these tissues. Now researchers ...

Researchers from Stanford University have reported that inhibiting the enzyme 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) promoted cartilage regeneration in mouse models of osteoarthritis due to ...
