Mechanical stimuli have fundamental roles in articular cartilage during health and disease. Chondrocytes respond to the physical properties of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) and the mechanical forces exerted on them during joint loading.
The FDA has approved Maci (autologous cultured chondrocytes on porcine collagen membrane), from Vericel Corporation, for the repair of symptomatic,...
A new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine has found that a circadian clock is embedded in the stem cells that give rise to fat and plays a decisive role in determining when the cells mature
This guideline, relating to the provision of a percutaneously placed enteral tube feeding service, is focused upon a specific area of nutrition provision that has not been previously targeted.
Ultrasound, if carried out correctly in the appropriate clinical situation, is one of the most effective diagnostic tools in healthcare....
This guide has therefore been prepared with the important objective of providing healthcare professionals with reference information on both the science and regulation underpinning the use of biosimilars.
Vericel Corporation announced that it has submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for MACI (matrix applied characterized...
To clarify the changes in bronchial cartilage in diseased airways, we performed morphometric analysis of airways in autopsied lungs of 16 patients with chronic bronchitis (Group CB), pulmonary emphysema (Group PE), and bronchial asthma...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is progressive disease characterised by cartilage degradation, subchondral bone remodelling and inflammation of the synovium.
These updated data-derived and consensus-derived recommendations will help rheumatologists to manage patients with SSc in an evidence-based way. These recommendations also give directions for future clinical research in SSc.
