As we get older, our body's organs naturally age and degenerative diseases begin to develop one by one. Among them, arthritis, a degenerative disease in the knee, is more common in middle-aged women.

In addition, it doesn’t burn any bridges: The repair tissue produced by this technique is either normal-looking articular cartilage or a mixture of normal areas and fibrous cartilage.

This hyaline-like cartilage more closely recreates the wear characteristics and durability of normal hyaline cartilage than the fibrous or fibrocartilage repair tissue formed by pluripotential ...

Research from other scientists has indicated that normal early activity in a foal, such as running around in a paddock, is important to the cartilage maturation process.

Normal articular cartilage will have some local compression. If the entire infarcted segment collapses and then rebounds, the test is positive.

Gene transfer technology has opened novel treatment avenues toward the treatment of damaged musculoskeletal tissues, and may be particularly beneficial to articular cartilage.

Comparison of expression profiles of articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) and meniscus (fibrocartilage) with the profile obtained from a mixture of 29 other normal tissues showed a specific ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An artificial meniscal implant helped maintain articular knee cartilage in patients with 2-year minimum follow-up vs. nonsurgical treatment and was linked with reduced ...

Spanish scientists have proposed using human amniotic membrane as a new tool for repairing damaged human articular cartilage, which heals very poorly because of its low capacity for self-repair ...

Over a few months, the clot hardens and smoothes into a form of cartilage called fibrocartilage, which slightly less effective than normal articular cartilage but much better than nothing.

Articular cartilage is the smooth, bearing surface covering all joints. When damaged, it usually fails to heal on its own—but with novel treatments, it can be fixed. That said, here are some of ...
