A single shot that appears to regrow worn knee cartilage and head off arthritis sounds like science fiction, yet early data from aging and cartilage research are edging that idea closer to reality.

Marks a world-first as Regentis uses MOCART, a quantitative standard to measure regeneration of cartilage in a clinical ...

Instead of using synthetic materials, a new study shows magnets could be used to arrange cells to grow new tissues. Using a magnetic field and hydrogels, a team of researchers in the Perelman School ...

Osteochondral defects (OCDs) can cause damage to cartilage and underlying bone, leading to chronic pain and loss of joint function. Depending on the extent of damage, individuals must undergo surgical ...

A team of University of Alberta researchers has discovered a way to use 3-D bioprinting technology to create custom-shaped cartilage for use in surgical procedures. The work aims to make it easier for ...
