Health experts advise that when damage occurs to the articular cartilage with repetitive use, arthritis may develop over time. In addition, an injury that may occur during sport or exercise may ...

Cartilage of articular joints grows and matures to achieve characteristic sizes, forms, and functional properties. Through these processes, the tissue not only serves as a template for bone growth ...

Osteoarthritis, which is also the most common type of arthritis, develops when the articular cartilage in a joint starts to break down, changing the bone. Articular cartilage is the soft lining of ...

The research work focuses mainly on the development of cell therapy strategies in the treatment of skeletal muscle disorders, including myopathies. We demonstrated that human muscle reserve cells ...

Tribology and Viscosupplements for Articular Cartilage Repair. In addition to our imaging work, we have been interested in the basic biology and tribology of articular cartilage. We have identified ...

A fluorescent dye could help scientists listen in on biochemical conversations between cartilage and bone during the earliest ...

Reiter D.A., Neu C.P., Goldberg I.L., Spencer R.G. (2015). Machine learning classification of OARSI-scored human articular cartilage using magnetic resonance imaging. Osteoarthritis & Cartilage 23(10) ...

Damage to articular cartilage (cartilage covering the ends of bones where they meet in a joint) frequently occurs due to injury or illness, and can lead to degenerative disease. Treatments and ...

In the future, a person’s own cells could be used in a 3D printer to make bioprinted cartilage to help repair damaged joints. Brian Eames is a scientist and professor ...
