NYU, Tel Aviv University create non-invasive imaging method for diagnosing osteoarthritis
Researchers at New York University and Tel Aviv University have developed a non-invasive imaging method that can be used to diagnose and monitor a number of diseases, including osteoarthritis and inter-vertebral disc degeneration, in their early stages. view more (2008-02-12)
Matrilin-3 gene discovered to prevent onset of osteoarthritis
A gene that is associated with osteoarthritis and skeletal deformities in people has been shown to be responsible for preventing the onset of osteoarthritis in adult mice. view more (2006-07-24)
Using coxibs and NSAIDs to treat osteoarthritis
A panel of arthritis research experts has recommended that coxibs and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) must remain a significant part of the tool kit used in treating osteoarthritis (OA). view more (2007-08-13)
Cells from amniotic fluid used to tissue-engineer a new trachea
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report using tissue engineering to reconstruct defective tracheas (windpipes) in fetal lambs, first using cells from the amniotic fluid to grow sections of cartilage tube, and then implanting these living grafts into the lambs while still in the womb. view more (2005-10-10)
Generation and regeneration: a scientific media briefing on developmental biology
Might our descendants donate cells at birth which would be stored and grown into bone, skin, blood vessels and cartilage to replace tissues they damaged in accidents? This briefing will discuss how our cells are generated and how much we understand at the moment about regenerating tissues. Embryo development starts with a single cell and ends up... view more...

Making a face: A new and earlier marker of neural crest development
The fate of cells that go on to form the face, skull and nerve centers of the head and neck in vertebrates is determined much earlier in development than previously thought, and is independent of interaction with other forming tissues. view more (2006-07-12)
Getting ACL tears to heal themselves
A surgeon at Children's Hospital Boston may have found a better way to repair tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a knee injury suffered by more than 100,000 Americans each year, particularly teenage girls. view more (2006-03-29)
Natural product discovery by Cleveland medical researchers blocks tissue destruction
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine have published in the Journal of Inflammation a remarkable discovery with a natural product derived from the Amazon rainforest. view more (2007-10-25)
Chinese and American paleontologists discover a new Mesozoic mammal
An international team of paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 123 million years ago in what is now the Liaoning Province in northeastern China. view more (2009-10-09)
Study first to show potential of light-activated gene therapy for knee injuries
An early study has demonstrated for the first time that laser light can target gene therapy right up to the edge of damaged cartilage, while leaving nearby healthy tissue untouched. view more (2006-04-25)
Pittsburgh scientists identify human source of stem cells with potential to repair muscle
For the first time, scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have discovered a unique population of adult stem cells derived from human muscle that could be used to treat muscle injuries and diseases such as heart attack and muscular dystrophy. view more (2007-09-05)
Sharks in danger
There are 370 species of shark, each with their own particular habitats and behaviours. Most sharks are slow to reproduce and do not have large numbers of young. They are therefore particularly sensitive to predation or large losses. Caught as accidental by-catch (estimated at 3000 per day), sharks are also fished for their fins (for food),... view more...

Stretching bone marrow stem cells pushes them towards becoming blood vessel
When stretched, a type of adult stem cell taken from bone marrow can be nudged towards becoming the type of tissue found in blood vessels, according to a new study by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2006-10-24)
New trigger for chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis discovered
A signal molecule made by the human body that triggers the immune system into action may be important in rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-06-29)
New MRI technique quickly builds 3-D images of knees
A faster magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data-acquisition technique will cut the time many patients spend in a cramped magnetic resonance scanner, yet deliver more precise 3-D images of their bodies. view more (2006-07-27)
Study suggests genetic connection between short stature and arthritis
The new study confirms observations by health professionals of a connection between decreased height and increased risk of osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. Researchers speculate that both extremes of height may be associated with osteoarthritis for different reasons. view more (2008-01-14)
New insight into joint lubrication that keeps osteoarthritis at bay
New evidence to explain how the body's natural joint lubricant prevents the wear and tear that can lead to osteoarthritis has been uncovered by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering The findings may lead to new methods for treating arthritis, the researchers said. view more (2006-03-29)
Jefferson researchers find stem cells in degenerating spinal discs, potential for repair
Orthopedic researchers at Jefferson Medical College have for the first time found stem cells in the intervertebral discs of the human spine, suggesting that such cells might someday be used to help repair degenerating discs and remedy lower back and neck pain. view more (2007-11-01)
Improved planning and perfomance of surgery - caesar research center at the Medica in Düsseldorf
Bonn research center caesar is presenting current medical technology projects at the "Medica 2004" in Düsseldorf (Hall 13, Stand C12) from November 24 - 27, 2004. Scientists support surgeons with innovative computer and laser technology in the planning and performance of operations. At the trade fair they are demonstrating a laser... view more... (2004-11-22)
Lithium and bone healing
Researchers have described a novel molecular pathway that may have a critical role in bone healing and have suggested that lithium, which affects this pathway, has the potential to improve fracture healing. view more (2007-07-31)
