Scientists at Duke University have developed a gel-based material that could serve as a replacement for knee cartilage. This ...

Jumping may protect astronauts’ knee cartilage from microgravity damage. Studies on mice show it increases bone density.

The jumping mice also had 110% thicker cartilage than the reduced activity group, and jumping also enhanced bone strength.

Along with bone, cartilage is an essential component ... has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue, a fatty cartilage called ‘lipocartilage,’ that has the potential to revolutionize the ...
