Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

The microscope will be tested at the University Hospital OWL's Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head, and Neck Surgery at the Klinikum Bielefeld. The clinic performs the most cholesteatoma ...

Hyaline cartilage appears slightly glassy under a microscope. This cartilage type has many thin collagen fibers that help to give it strength. However, hyaline cartilage is considered the weakest ...

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 ...

This up-close electron microscope view shows the nanofiber and polymer network that composes a new kind of synthetic cartilage and gives this water-based material its strength. Lizhi Xu/Kotov Lab ...

In the 1850s, histologist Franz von Leydig wrote about his observations of rats' ear cartilage under the microscope. "At first sight it looks like adipose tissue," but it still has a distinct ...

Cartilage is a strong, flexible tissue that lines the surface of joints, such as the knees. It cushions the joints and prevents the bones within them from grinding against one another during movement.

Replacing cartilage is a stubborn problem, but new research shows a few potential paths forward. Millions of U.S. residents—perhaps up to 3 percent of the population—have an artificial hip ...

Researchers at Duke University have created a new gel-based material that can replace cartilage in the knee. This new ...

ResearchAyu’s cartilage regeneration treatment has already brought relief to thousands of patients. Currently, approximately 5,000 individuals across India are undergoing this innovative therapy ...

Sharks don’t have bones. Instead, their skeletons are made from mineralized cartilage that helps them constantly move through water. To understand the internal “sharkitecture” that helps keep these ...
