Stanford Medicine's June 2026 study in Science found that blocking the aging protein 15-PGDH restored lost cartilage in mice ...

Untreated knee cartilage defects can lead to osteoarthritis, with symptoms such as continuous pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Current treatments for cartilage defects are limited to lesion ...

Millions of people worldwide live with arthritis, a condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. For ...

A type of sodium channel previously thought to be specific to neurons is also present in chondrocytes — cells that are crucial for joint health. Despite having low density, the sodium channels have an ...

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 ...

Extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stem cells promoted cartilage production in human tissues, offering a potential ...

Osteochondrosis causes pieces of cartilage and thin layers of bone to separate from some of the bones within a person’s joints. It can affect adults and children, with symptoms such as joint pain, ...

In adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. Northwestern Engineering scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage ...
