In a study of mouse and human genes, scientists pinpointed 145 genes that regulate the cartilage cells in kid's growth plates and could determine how tall they grow. When you purchase through links on ...

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

Nearly a quarter of the U.S. population has some form of arthritis, most frequently osteoarthritis—a type of degenerative joint disease that wears down cartilage at the ends of bones, making it ...

Medical science stands at the threshold of a transformative breakthrough in orthopedic treatment as researchers pioneer technologies enabling natural cartilage regeneration. A groundbreaking study ...

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 ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just ...

DURHAM – Over-the-counter pain relievers, physical therapy, steroid injections — some people have tried it all and are still dealing with knee pain. Often knee pain comes from the progressive wear and ...

Researchers have found that osteoarthritis in mice is caused by the depletion of specialized gene-expressing cartilage-forming stem cells and found a way to reverse the condition. The discovery opens ...

Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease where the protective layer of articular cartilage that cushions the junctional surface of bones in joints degenerates. This restricts movement and causes ...
