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

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 ...

An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue that offers great potential for advancing regenerative medicine and tissue ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

Boise State University researchers have developed a new technique and platform to communicate with cells and help drive them towards cartilage formation. Their work leverages a 3-dimensional ...

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 ...

Here are four things to know. 1. Cartilage defects can occur from the overuse or straining of the knee beyond its normal range of motion. 2. The product, Maci, relies on tissue engineering to grow ...

Hydrogels are often used as scaffolds in tissue engineering. Living cells infused into the material can, theoretically, grow through the gel until an entire piece of tissue forms. But to grow well, ...

In recent years, there have been tremendous advances in tissue engineering, the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D microstructures and biologically ...

In laboratory experiments, researchers have produced ear cartilage that remains form-stable in animal models. Only one ...
