Human knees are notoriously vulnerable to injury or wearing out with age, often culminating in the need for surgery. Now researchers have created new hybrid bioinks that can be used to 3D print structures to replace damaged cartilage in the knee.Contin… Continue reading Hybrid 3D-printing bioinks help repair damaged knee cartilage
Like most machines, the human body tends to wear out faster at the points of articulation, where decades of stress are focused. Now, researchers at Stanford have found a way to induce cartilage tissue to regenerate in joints by tweaking the stem cells … Continue reading Joint cartilage regrown in arthritic mice by a stem cell tweak
Cartilage plays a crucial role in your knees, but unfortunately once it’s damaged or worn out it’s hard to repair. A replacement is often required, but these aren’t as good as the real thing. Now, researchers at Duke University have created a new hydro… Continue reading New hydrogel could work as well as real cartilage in knee replacements
