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

“The main issue with the microfracture approach is that it often results in the formation of fibrocartilage — the same cartilage in our ears — as opposed to hyaline cartilage, which is the ...

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 ...

Koay EJ and Athanasiou KA (2008) Hypoxic chondrogenic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells enhances cartilage protein synthesis and biomechanical functionality. Osteoarthritis Cartilage ...

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

“The scaffold serves as their ‘home base’, anchoring them at the damaged site, where they transform into cartilage-producing cells to restore hyaline-like cartilage that mimics the joint’s ...

Medical textbooks describe three types of cartilage: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage. Hyaline cartilage helps bones slide smoothly over each other at the joints; elastic cartilage is very ...
