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

For a long time, Chan said, people assumed that adult cartilage did not regenerate after injury because the tissue did not have many skeletal stem cells that could be activated. Working in a mouse ...

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 ...

Explores the anatomy and functions of human joints, categorizing them into three main types: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. It details the characteristics and subtypes of each joint type ...

Once the engineered cartilage reaches the required size and shape, it is implanted into the damaged knee joint, giving patients a second chance at mobility and an active lifestyle.

A novel mechanobiological model can predict how physiologically relevant dynamic loading causes proteoglycan loss in mechanically injured articular cartilage. Scientific Reports, 2018; 8 (1) DOI ...

The pubic symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint (a joint made of hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage) located between the left and right pubic bones near the midline of the body. More ...
