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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of degenerative joint disease in the world, affecting more than 27 million people in the US and costing nearly over two hundred billion dollars annually.

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

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 ...

Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has successfully developed a novel engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) to ...

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 ...

Even though the recently launched EU project ENCANTO (“magic” in Spanish) has nothing to do with the Disney movie of the same name, the study topic might sound like magic to the layman. "We take a ...
