Remarkably, after three days of treatment, the cartilage cells began producing essential protein components critical to their repair process. The study also highlighted that the motion of these ...

Erosion results from breakdown of cartilage components, including aggrecan (caused by a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs [ADAMTS] enzymes), the collagen network (caused ...

But a study published yesterday (October 9) in Science Advances finds that we can generate new proteins in joint cartilage, and this ability is ... and the critically missing components of this ...

To accomplish this, the researchers first extract a small sample of cartilage from the patient’s nose and those cells are subsequently multiplied in a lab and then placed on a soft fiber scaffold ...

But a new biological material that contains the components needed for cartilage growth can encourage the tissue to regenerate, which could potentially speed up healing. Researchers injected the ...
