Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has successfully developed a novel engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) to ...

Cartilage injuries are a common clinical issue, often caused by trauma, severe infections, or degenerative joint diseases. The lack of direct blood supply to cartilage and limited access to nutrients ...

Researchers used advanced imaging to uncover early molecular changes in bone that may enable earlier diagnosis of ...

This study is led by Prof. Yingfang Ao, Prof. Jianquan Wang and Dr. Xiaoqing Hu (Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University, Peking University Third ...

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 peptides, proteins and ...

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 ...

Osteoarthritis often goes undetected until cartilage damage is advanced, limiting treatment options. A new study shows that molecular changes in subchondral bone occur earlier and can signal disease ...
