A novel cartilage-regenerating injection blocks age-related degeneration pathways and shows potential to prevent osteoarthritis beyond pain control.

The treatment also prevented the development of arthritis after knee injuries such as ACL tears often experienced by athletes ...

In a study of mouse and human genes, scientists pinpointed 145 genes that regulate the cartilage cells in kid's growth plates and could determine how tall they grow. When you purchase through links on ...

Nearly a quarter of the U.S. population has some form of arthritis, most frequently osteoarthritis—a type of degenerative joint disease that wears down cartilage at the ends of bones, making it ...

An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment ...

Nitin Joshi, PhD, and Jingjing Gao, PhD, of the Department of Anesthesiology at Mass General Brigham, are the co-senior authors of a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, “A ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just ...

DURHAM – Over-the-counter pain relievers, physical therapy, steroid injections — some people have tried it all and are still dealing with knee pain. Often knee pain comes from the progressive wear and ...

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed for ...
