Scientists have discovered a molecule that enhances cartilage regeneration and decreases inflammation.
Researchers have found a pattern of genes which is characteristic of osteoarthritis and may be a step towards better treatments for this condition.
A team of researchers have generated cartilage tissue by printing stem cells using a 3D-bioprinter...
In a preclinical study in mice and human cells, researchers report that selectively removing old or 'senescent' cells from joints could stop and even reverse the progression of osteoarthritis.
Researchers from UPM and CSIC have employed waste from the agri-food industry to develop biomaterials that are able to act as matrices to regenerate bone and cartilage tissues, which is of great interest for the treatment of diseases related to ageing.
