A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. In November ...

A tale as old as time - an athlete suffers a devastating knee injury, and their dreams are suddenly in jeopardy. Whether it’s an aspiring NFL player, a basketball star, or a weekend warrior, damage to ...

Scientists have long assumed that once the smooth cartilage in a damaged knee wears away, the body has little chance of ...

Northwestern University researchers have found the second use for an injectable therapy using fast-moving "dancing molecules" to regenerate tissue rapidly, leading the biochemists group to hope ...

Cartilage grown from human nose cells has been used to repair serious KNEE injuries. Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells helped treat "complex" damage to the articular cartilage which is both ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

Northwestern University researchers almost three years ago introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe ...

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed for ...

A newly discovered cell type could transform how plastic surgeries are performed—from facial reconstructions to nose jobs. Cartilage transplants are central to many procedures, being used to fix cleft ...
