The unparalleled liquid strength of cartilage, which is about 80 percent water, withstands some of the toughest forces on our bodies. Synthetic materials couldn't match it -- until "Kevlartilage" was ...

New sites expected to further accelerate patient enrollment, which surpassed 50% in Phase III study, as well as support ...

A research team from Northwest University, China, has developed a breakthrough nano-composite hydrogel system to address the dual challenges of inflammation and cartilage damage in osteoarthritis (OA) ...

Osteoarthritis, a painful condition where bone grinds against bone due to cartilage degradation, affects over 500 million people worldwide, with the knee being the most commonly afflicted joint, ...

June 21 (UPI) --Researchers in Canada and Chinese said a new biodegradable gel has shown great promise in helping heal damaged cartilage, which is critical to knee and hip movement. The results of the ...

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, ...

Researchers have developed a nanozyme-integrated hydrogel that directly targets advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a key driver of diabetic osteoarthritis (DOA). Study: Nanozyme-Integrated ...

Scientists in China have developed an injectable hydrogel aimed at treating early-stage osteoarthritis. The biomaterial is said to relieve arthritis-related discomfort and slow the condition's ...

When you think about materials used in medicine, you likely picture metals, plastics, or synthetic gels. Researchers at the University of Utah are asking you to imagine something very different. Their ...
