Running does not appear to cause sustained wear and tear of healthy knee cartilage, with research suggesting that the small, short-term changes to cartilage after a run reverse within hours. Running ...

A Washington State University research team is working to create an artificial cartilage that is similar to natural cartilage, with a recipe that can be corrected along the way. The researchers, ...

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

Along with bone, cartilage is an essential component of our skeletal system. Some of its important functions include providing shape and support to structures such as the ears, nose and windpipe, and ...

Growing cartilage tissue in the lab could help patiens with injuries, but it is very hard to make the tissue grow in exactly the right shape. A new approach could solve this problem: Tiny spherical ...

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 ...

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 ...
