Figure 1: Application of adult MSCs to tissue engineering, illustrated by several approaches to articular cartilage repair. Cell-based tissue engineering is one of the most promising approaches in ...

Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel are ...

The goal was to create an attractive scaffold for the body’s own cells to regenerate cartilage tissue. "Using bioactive signals in the nanoscale fibres, the material encourages cartilage repair ...

Bone and cartilage are two types of connective tissue in the body, but they differ in several ways. These connective tissues support and connect with other body tissues. The extracellular matrix ...

To accomplish this, the researchers first extract a small sample of cartilage from the patient’s nose and those cells are subsequently multiplied in a lab and then placed on a soft fiber scaffold ...

Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells is treating complex knee damage, thanks to Swiss researchers who developed the ...

For example, it has been shown that these cells can counteract inflammation in joints, researchers said. Torn cartilage in ...

Cartilage repair is generally most effective for younger, active patients with well-aligned, stable knees and healthy meniscus tissue. However, as more older adults adopt active lifestyles ...
