Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

A novel cartilage-regenerating injection blocks age-related degeneration pathways and shows potential to prevent osteoarthritis beyond pain control.

In a revolutionary discovery, scientists have identified a specific protein that, when blocked, allows the body to naturally ...

Diagnosing osteoarthritis often occurs in the late stages when cartilage degradation is severe, making it difficult to distinguish it from other types of arthritis and to determine the best treatment ...

A single shot that appears to regrow worn knee cartilage and head off arthritis sounds like science fiction, yet early data from aging and cartilage research are edging that idea closer to reality.

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed for ...

Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent joint disease that leads to cartilage breakdown, pain and disability, yet there are ...

Knee cartilage usually wears down quietly. Over time, that loss can turn walking stairs into a daily calculation.

A recent article in Engineering describes the development of a protein-based nanocomposite hydrogel designed to deliver two therapeutic agents—dexamethasone (Dex) and kartogenin (KGN)—to support ...
