Patellofemoral osteochondral allograft transplantation may effectively treat lesions
Patellofemoral osteochondral allograft transplantation may be an effective procedure for patients with chondral lesions, according to results presented
Does running ruin your knees? And how old is too old to start?
You've probably heard that running is tough on your knees - and even that it can cause long-term damage. But is this true?
A patient's own cartilage cells may be the key to promoting healing after hip surgery
In their study published in the journal Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, the research team collected cartilage removed during hip surgeries.
A review of advanced hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering
Tissue engineering, including cartilage tissue engineering, is one of the minimally invasive, innovative, and effective methods for the treatment and regeneration of damaged cartilage, which has attracted the attention of scientists in the fields of medicine and biomaterials engineering in the past several years. Hydrogels of different types with diverse properties have become desirable candidates for engineering and treating cartilage tissue.
Enhanced chondrogenic potential in GelMA-based 3D cartilage model via Wnt3a surface immobilization
Cartilage tissue engineering aims to develop functional substitutes for treating cartilage defects and osteoarthritis. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems lack the complexity of native cartilage, leading to the development of 3D regenerative cartilage models.
