We have performed a comprehensive analysis of gene-expression profiles in human articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) and meniscus (fibrocartilage) by means of a cDNA microarray consisting of 23,040 ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a ...

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 ...

A microscropy image of the new biomaterial. Nanofibers are pink; hyaluronic acid is shown in purple. (Samuel I. Stupp/Northwestern University) (CN) — Scientists at Northwestern University created a ...

This week we are going to discuss the effects that running has on the knee joint, and if running increases the risk for cartilage changes in the knee. The knee joint is lined with hyaline cartilage, ...

Cartilage that causes minimal scarring after transplantation has been engineered by researchers. The method depends on deriving chondrocytes, the cells that secrete cartilage, from iPS cells. These ...

Cartilage coats the outside surface of your bones to allow the bones to glide smoothly at the point where they meet (the joint). It also provides cushioning to absorb shock and avoid joint injuries ...

Hyalex Orthopaedics raised $16 million in a series A round that will support the development of a synthetic polymer that mimics cartilage, which could lead to an alternative treatment for ...
