University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and neck. University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new ...

This story is part 3 of an occasional series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore to normal ...

A groundbreaking therapy first introduced by Northwestern University researchers in 2021 has shown promise in regenerating human cartilage. Originally designed to repair tissues and reverse paralysis ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. In November ...

The ankle's ability to regenerate cartilage uses the same mechanisms that enable some animals to grow new limbs, and it could be harnessed to repair cartilage in knees and hips hobbled by ...

Contrary to popular belief, cartilage in human joints can repair itself through a process similar to that used by creatures such as salamanders and zebrafish to regenerate limbs, researchers at Duke ...

A microscropy image of the new biomaterial. Nanofibers are pink; hyaluronic acid is shown in purple. (Samuel I. Stupp/Northwestern University) (CN) — Scientists at Northwestern University created a ...

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.

Chondrocytes are specialized cells that are essential for cartilage maintenance and repair, and their dysfunction is central to the development of joint diseases like osteoarthritis (OA). However, the ...

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 ...
