This is a rare peek at how cartilage transforms into bone. In this image, you can see cartilage (in purple and white), blood vessels and cells (in yellow), and other specialized cells that create ...

Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

Backed by research, these supplements may support aging joints.

In the event of a bone fracture, fatty acids in our blood signal to stem cells that they have to develop into bone-forming cells. If there are no blood vessels nearby, the stem cells end up forming ...

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 ...

Stanford researchers develop a therapy that regenerates cartilage and blocks osteoarthritis in ageing joints, showing promise for future treatments that restore joint health Stanford researchers have ...

Skeletal stem cells form part of the bone marrow stroma, where they contribute to bone growth, bone modeling, and bone remodeling during life. In addition to this, they help produce adipocytes the ...

Researchers have successfully grown cartilage-bone grafts in the lab that can be used to repair damaged joints such as the jaw. Although reconstructive surgery is available to treat many joint ...
