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 toward creating replacement tissue in the lab—using ...

Growing cartilage tissue in the lab could help patiens with injuries, but it is very hard to make the tissue grow in exactly the right shape. A new approach could solve this problem: Tiny spherical ...

The drug relieved osteoarthritis pain and reversed cartilage damage, with a slow-release hydrogel extending the effects ...

Researchers are developing new regenerative approaches, including stem cells, 3D-printed scaffolds and smart biomaterials designed to help the body repair damaged tissue. Focused on smart biomaterials ...

A new device that uses light to non-destructively image tissue could revolutionize cartilage and tissue transplant surgery, laying the groundwork for osteoarthritis treatment. Published Sept. 9 in ...

A doctor orders an X-ray for a patient with a knee ache. The bones look fine, and the most likely prognosis is arthritis, which occurs when the soft tissue between joints breaks down. But X-rays are ...

In patients with severe osteoarthritis, cartilage can wear so thin that joints essentially transform into bone on bone — without a cushion between. A new therapy that uses synthetic nanofibers to ...

Cartilage tissue engineering has emerged as a vital field to address the limited self-repair capacity of articular cartilage. Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic polymer networks that closely ...

FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 270+ patents issued and pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and potential cures ...

Researchers have developed a "scaffold" that mimics natural tissue and could lead to more durable rotator cuff repairs, ...

An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue that offers great potential for advancing regenerative medicine and tissue ...

Cartilage tissue engineering seeks to restore damaged articular cartilage by combining cells, biomaterials, biochemical cues and mechanical stimulation to recreate the specialised extracellular matrix ...
