A novel cartilage-regenerating injection blocks age-related degeneration pathways and shows potential to prevent osteoarthritis beyond pain control.

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the ...

An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment ...

Natural cartilage plays an important role in cushioning joints, but unfortunately it doesn’t regenerate itself very well after damage by age or injury. Current treatment options are usually limited to ...

Researchers comparing two injections commonly used to relieve knee pain from osteoarthritis—corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid—found that corticosteroid injections were associated with higher ...

Replacing cartilage is a stubborn problem, but new research shows a few potential paths forward. Millions of U.S. residents—perhaps up to 3 percent of the population—have an artificial hip, knee, or ...

DURHAM – Over-the-counter pain relievers, physical therapy, steroid injections — some people have tried it all and are still dealing with knee pain. Often knee pain comes from the progressive wear and ...

Researchers in China have found no statistically significant advantage for infrapatellar fat pad glucocorticoid injection over saline for 12-week knee pain change or effusion synovitis volume change ...

CHICAGO – Two studies comparing injections commonly used to relieve the pain of knee osteoarthritis found that corticosteroid injections were associated with the progression of the disease. Results of ...

For those who suffer painful arthritis in their aging knees, new research suggests a noninvasive treatment might deliver lasting relief. Called genicular artery embolization, the roughly two-hour ...
