New research by an interdisciplinary team in Lithuania has revealed a promising and unconventional approach to cartilage regeneration. Using extracellular vesicles derived from menstrual blood stromal ...

The outer ear is unique to mammals, but its evolutionary origin has remained a mystery. According to a new study published in Nature from the USC Stem Cell lab of Gage Crump, this intricate coil of ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — There’s a new way to generate human cartilage from the head and neck, according to researchers from the University of Montana and their partners. Stem cells can now be transformed ...

University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and neck. University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new ...

A recent study has uncovered the surprising evolutionary origin of the mammalian outer ear, linking it to the gills of ancient fish and marine invertebrates. The research reveals that both structures ...

Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease where the protective layer of articular cartilage that cushions the junctional surface of bones in joints degenerates. This restricts movement and causes ...

Researchers in Singapore have investigated the use of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) exosomes to improve cartilage regeneration. They observed an increase in cartilage cell proliferation and infiltration ...

Cartilage is the body’s most stubborn tissue. Once it wears away, it’s usually gone for good. This biological dead-end is the engine behind osteoarthritis, a grueling condition that stiffens joints, ...

This image shows a graph of gene expression patterns of organoids created in a University of Montana lab transitioning to become cells that form human cartilage. It’s overlaid on a picture of an ...
