Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells is treating complex knee damage, thanks to Swiss researchers who developed the ...

Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel are ...

To accomplish this, the researchers first extract a small sample of cartilage from the patient’s nose and those cells are subsequently multiplied in a lab and then placed on a soft fiber scaffold ...

Cartilage grown from human nose cells has been used to repair serious KNEE injuries. Engineered cartilage from nasal septum cells helped treat "complex" damage to the articular cartilage which is ...

Vlatko Cancar explains why it was both “a good thing and a bad thing that I went under the knife” last December.

These strategies include use of MSCs as progenitor cells to engineer cartilage implants that can be used to repair chondral and osteochondral lesions, or as trophic producers of bioactive factors ...

The trial compared two different approaches involving cartilage grafts grown for only two days prior to surgery versus grafts allowed to mature for two weeks. Participants were tracked for two ...

Therefore, researchers are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient's nasal septum. A recent study shows that giving these cartilage implants more time to mature significantly ...

In response, researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient's nasal septum. A recent study shows that giving ...
