For decades, doctors believed cartilage loss was irreversible. A new injectable material developed at Northwestern proves ...

Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

New research suggests injured joints may not be as permanent as once believed, opening fresh strategies to fight osteoarthritis.

Researchers have developed a new method for monitoring iron flux - the movement and rate at which cells take in, store, use and release iron - in stem ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

Torbjörn Ogéus discusses the next frontier in regenerative medicine for osteoarthritis, from innovation to clinical validation and standard of care ...

Animal studies have shown that some cartilage cells can transition to a bone-like phenotype, challenging the belief that bone cells arise solely from ...

Unlike existing treatments that manage symptoms, this approach targets an underlying driver of the disease. Osteoarthritis affects about one in five adults in the United States and costs an estimated ...

A novel, rapid and non‑destructive method was developed to provide real-time insights into iron flux in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) using a micromagnetic resonance relaxometry (µMRR) device The ...

Andrea Vernengo researches the messages cells send and receive through hydrogels. Her lab studies wound healing and cancer, and potential new therapies.

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis develops rapidly after joint injury, yet current treatments largely address symptoms rather than restoring damaged cartilage.
