A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune rejection. New research suggests it may be possible to repair major bone damage ...

Explore the vital role of bone marrow stem cells. Learn how they drive bone remodeling, immunity, and skeletal health in this ...

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

Repairing bones and cartilage may get easier thanks to newly discovered human skeletal stem cells. Scientists found the stem cells, which give rise to bones, cartilage and the spongy bone that harbors ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) manifests as degradation and loss of the articular cartilage, but typically involves all tissues of the joint. Although this review focusses on crosstalk between the subchondral ...

2D nanoparticles known as nanosilicates can be used to grow bone and cartilage tissue from human mesenchymal stem cells, according to new gene sequencing experiments by researchers at Texas A&M ...

In the event of a bone fracture, fatty acids in our blood signal to stem cells that they have to develop into bone-forming cells. If there are no blood vessels nearby, the stem cells end up forming ...

The woman underwent the $20,000 surgery at a clinic in Beverley Hills in 2009. Surgeons isolated mesenchymal stem cells from her abdominal fat—cells that can become bone, cartilage, and fat, among ...

An injury to the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone can be very painful. Although recovery times can vary, rib cartilage fractures typically take at least 6 weeks to heal. The ribs in ...
