Choosing what type of piercing to get next in your ear is a tough decision. Once you have your lobes pierced, the options get infinitely more complicated. Whether it's your rook, tragus, helix, ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a ...

Your knee contains articular cartilage, which lines your bones and allows you to move without pain or friction. Knee cartilage damage occurs when your articular cartilage chips or wears away. In ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created elastic and stable ear cartilage from human cells grown in a laboratory.

Cartilage coats the outside surface of your bones to allow the bones to glide smoothly at the point where they meet (the joint). It also provides cushioning to absorb shock and avoid joint injuries ...

In a mouse study, researchers used nanotechnology and previous knowledge of a protein pathway to significantly reduce knee cartilage degeneration and pain. There is currently no cure for ...

In adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. Northwestern Engineering scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage ...
