A squishy cartilage-like material has been developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. It can be loaded up with either long-term or short-term pain killers that are released when the ...

Researchers have developed a material that can sense tiny changes within the body, such as during an arthritis flareup, and release drugs exactly where and when they are needed. The squishy material ...

In a groundbreaking development, University of Cambridge scientists have created a novel material poised to revolutionize arthritis treatment. This innovative substance, loaded with anti-inflammatory ...

A Cambridge University research team has developed a material that detects subtle changes in the body's pH and releases drugs accordingly, potentially leading to the development of 'smart cartilage' ...

Cartilage is a semi-rigid, avascular connective tissue composed of chondrocytes loosely embedded in an extracellular matrix of collagen fibres, proteoglycans and other, noncollagenous proteins. The ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created the substance, which behaves like artificial cartilage and releases medicine directly into joints during flare-ups. Arthritis is a degenerative ...

Squishy artificial cartilage that delivers drugs to aching arthritic joints has been invented by the University of Cambridge. The jelly-like material can sense changes in the body during a painful ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by dividing ...
