Stanford scientists discover how blocking 15-PGDH protein regenerates knee cartilage in mice and human tissue, offering hope ...

A treatment that blocks an age-related protein restored cartilage in aging and injured joints by reprogramming existing cells ...

Stable joint cartilage can be produced from adult stem cells originating from bone marrow. This is made possible by inducing specific molecular processes occurring during embryonic cartilage formation ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have uncovered a breakthrough that could reshape how doctors treat joint damage caused by aging and injury.

Researchers in the United States and Japan have discovered a new mechanism that links age-related cartilage tissue stiffening with the repression of a key protein associated with longevity. These ...

This study is led by Prof. Yingfang Ao, Prof. Jianquan Wang and Dr. Xiaoqing Hu (Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University, Peking University Third ...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is believed to provide pain relief and help improve joint function in degenerative joint disease, but a new study has shown that it does not act by promoting stem cell ...

Successful repair of knee cartilage relies on an ideal integration of surgical technique and supportive scaffolds promoting cartilage formation. Existing commercial scaffolds are often associated with ...

A recent article in Engineering describes the development of a protein-based nanocomposite hydrogel designed to deliver two therapeutic agents—dexamethasone (Dex) and kartogenin (KGN)—to support ...
