A new study describes a type of cartilage that may have been discovered, forgotten and found again at several points in ...

"Currently, cartilage reconstruction often requires harvesting tissue from the patient's rib – a painful and invasive procedure. In the future, patient-specific lipochondrocytes could be derived ...

This study describes the discovery of a novel lipid-rich tissue type, lipocartilage, which exhibits unique skeletal support properties distinct from classical cartilage rich in extracellular ...

Lipid-Rich Cartilage Tissue has the Potential to Revolutionize Reconstructive Surgery and Regenerative Medicine BPGbio’s Advanced Lipid Analysis Critical to Redefining the Role of Skeletal ...

This study describes the discovery of a novel lipid-rich tissue type, lipocartilage, which exhibits unique skeletal support properties distinct from classical cartilage rich in extracellular matrix ...

In order to move the field forward it is clear that increasing our understanding of the mechanisms controlling cell fate in the process of cartilage and bone formation and repair will be crucial.

Surgeons often resort to transferring cartilage from the rib, which is stiff, or using silicone implants, with neither material matching the real thing. Implanted tissues are not flexible in the s ...
