Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is caused by joint injuries leading to progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. PTOA is prevalent in young adults and acute symptoms include swelling, ...

Mechanical loading, or forces that stimulate cellular growth for development, is required for creating cartilage that is then turned to bone; however, little is known about cartilage development in ...

For the first time, researchers have identified and characterized unique cell populations that form the superficial zone of human joint cartilage. The zone has the most critical role in cushioning the ...

Researchers have produced stable joint cartilage from adult stem cells originating from bone marrow. This was made possible by inducing specific molecular processes occurring during embryonic ...

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 ...

Cartilage is the tough but flexible tissue that covers the ends of your bones at a joint. It also gives shape and support to other parts of your body. Injured, inflamed, or damaged cartilage can cause ...

In the event of a bone fracture, fatty acids in the blood signal to stem cells that they have to develop into bone-forming cells. If there are no blood vessels nearby, the stem cells end up forming ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton and the Centre for Human Development, Stem Cells, and Regeneration have developed a new method to generate human cartilage tissue from stem cells. The ...

Costa Mesa, California - February 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Genetics play a significant role in determining a dog’s ...

Mechanical loading is required for creating cartilage that is then turned to bone; however, little is known about cartilage development in the absence of gravity. Now, bioengineers have determined ...
