Cartilage is a unique tissue type because it doesn’t have blood vessels or nerves. Instead, cartilage cells (known as chondrocytes) are found in a gel-like “matrix” that provides nourishment ...

Now, however, scientists say there's a fourth type of cartilage that looks very different from the other kinds. The tissue, ...

A silk-based nanocomposite hydrogel delivers dexamethasone + kartogenin to reduce inflammation and regenerate cartilage ...

The lab-grown cartilage tissue exhibited the same biomechanical properties as human cartilage and displayed key signals for the production of articular cartilage—SOX9 and Type 2 collagen.

To achieve goodin vivofunction, engineered cartilage needs to exhibit biological and physical properties similar to those of native articular cartilage. Adult multipotent stem cells are considered ...

We have performed a comprehensive analysis of gene-expression profiles in human articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) and meniscus (fibrocartilage) by means of a cDNA microarray consisting of ...

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 ...

Tissue Engineered Scaffolding Allows Reproduction Of Cartilage Tissue Date: May 10, 2007 Source: Blackwell Publishing Ltd. Summary: A new study examines the use of tissue-engineered scaffolding ...

Now, researchers at Stanford have found a way to induce cartilage tissue to regenerate in joints by tweaking the stem cells there. ... it was just not quite the type of tissue we want.

The tissue may resemble fat, but fat cells don’t belong in cartilage. “If somebody starts calling a cat a dog, they’re absolutely wrong. It’s a completely different species,” Plikus says.

The study highlights how the tissue differs from its look-alike — fat — and how it's similar to other types of cartilage. In mice, the team showed that the structures that hold the fat within ...
