This rare outcome in cartilage repair suggests true biological cartilage regeneration, not merely defect filling Unlike ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Here’s where it gets interesting. As you age, levels of 15-PGDH roughly double in your knee cartilage. This protein essentially ...

Stanford researchers discovered a drug that can regenerate knee cartilage without surgery. This breakthrough could delay ...

A new therapy that first made headlines in 2021 is now showing potential to heal human cartilage. Developed by scientists at Northwestern University, the technique was initially created to repair ...

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which commonly impacts the knees, hands, hips, neck and lower back. This is the first of two stories describing recent progress in understanding the ...

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 ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

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 ...

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