Chula Medicine Determines “Cytokines” as Indicator of “Degenerative Joints” Giving Hopes for Better Disease Mitigation
Chula Medicine announced the discovery of “cytokines” in the body’s immune system that can determine the severity of osteoarthritis in elderly adults, hoping to facilitate the planning of follow-up and treatment of the disease, and reduction of its severity, while also recommending vitamin D and vitamin E supplements, body weight control, and proper exercise.
Recharging cartilage after knee damage
Osteoarthritis – a painful condition that results from the deterioration of the cartilage in our joints – affects millions of people worldwide. To combat this issue, NIBIB-funded researchers are developing an implantable, biodegradable film that helps to regenerate the native cartilage at the site of damage. Their study, performed in rabbits, could be an initial, important step in the establishment of a new treatment for this common condition.
NASA funds LLNL to demonstrate “Replicator” 3D printer to produce cartilage in space
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced April 15 it has awarded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and a private company with funding to develop LLNL’s revolutionary volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) 3D printing technology to produce artificial cartilage tissue in space.
Rheumatoid arthritis treated with implanted cells that release drug
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have genetically engineered cells that, when implanted in mice, deliver a biologic drug in response to inflammation.
Researchers ID Sodium-dependent Cartilage Repair Response to Improve Osteoarthritis
Research published ahead of print in the journal Function finds sodium prompts the release of regenerative factors in articular cartilage that has sustained injury due to osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis causes a loss of the protein aggrecan that is an integral part…
‘Break a leg’ not so lucky when it leads to limb deformities
Orthopaedic researchers are one step closer to preventing life-long arm and leg deformities from childhood fractures that do not heal properly.
Common Bacteria Modified To Make Designer Sugar-Based Drug
Envisioning an animal-free drug supply, scientists have — for the first time — reprogrammed a common bacterium to make a designer polysaccharide molecule used in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.
Magnetic Field and Hydrogels Could Be Used to Grow New Cartilage
Instead of using synthetic materials, Penn Medicine study shows magnets could be used to arrange cells to grow new tissues
