Researchers have discovered a new type of tissue, a soft and flexible ‘fatty cartilage’ that could revolutionize the ...

A new study describes a type of cartilage that may have been discovered, forgotten and found again at several points in history.

A groundbreaking therapy first introduced by Northwestern University researchers in 2021 has shown promise in regenerating human cartilage. Originally designed to repair tissues and reverse ...

explained that the cartilage that normally fuels bone growth and lines human joints is among the tissues with the worst repair capabilities of any adult human tissue. He said using mice ...

"Currently, cartilage reconstruction often requires harvesting tissue from the patient's rib—a painful and invasive procedure. In the future, patient-specific lipochondrocytes could be derived ...

The team first examined human fetal cartilage at gestational week 20 to 21 and observed numerous lipid vacuoles in the ear, nose, thyroid, and epiglottal cartilage tissue. They also noted fat droplets ...

The genes that build the cartilage of fish gills were repurposed to build the cartilage in mammals’ outer ears ...

Implanted tissues are not flexible in the same way ... The team have discovered lipochondrocytes in human fetal cartilage, as well. And Lee says this discovery seems to finally explain something ...
