A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at ...

Is it possible to grow tissue in the laboratory, for example to replace injured cartilage? At TU Wien (Vienna), an important step has now been taken towards creating replacement tissue in the lab - ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. In November ...

GelrinC-treated patients demonstrated layered cartilage architecture similar to native hyaline cartilage - widely regarded as ...

A novel cartilage-regenerating injection blocks age-related degeneration pathways and shows potential to prevent osteoarthritis beyond pain control.

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

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 ...

A newly discovered cell type could transform how plastic surgeries are performed—from facial reconstructions to nose jobs. Cartilage transplants are central to many procedures, being used to fix cleft ...

In a dramatic example of medical recycling, researchers at Duke University reported last week they have been able to "retrain" fat cells removed during liposuction to create functional cartilage. Not ...
