Feb. 5, 2026 Researchers have figured out how psoriasis can quietly turn into joint disease for some patients. Immune cells formed in inflamed skin can travel through the blood and reach the joints, where they sometimes trigger inflammation. The key difference ...
Jan. 20, 2026 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 therapy restored healthy, shock-absorbing ...
Nov. 4, 2025 Using powerful 7-Tesla brain imaging, researchers mapped how the brainstem manages pain differently across the body. They discovered that distinct regions activate for facial versus limb pain, showing the brain’s built-in precision pain control ...
Mar. 6, 2025 Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient's ...
Nov. 21, 2024 Full view of how bones and joints form in the first trimester uncovers cells and pathways that could help diagnose and treat skeletal conditions in the ...
Sep. 26, 2024 Scientists believe the hormone hepcidin, when produced in the skin, may be the root cause of psoriasis -- a chronic and sometimes debilitating skin disease that affects 2-3% of the global ...
Aug. 9, 2024 Scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. New material comprises peptides, proteins and polysaccharides that mimic the microstructure of ...
July 26, 2024 New therapy uses synthetic nanofibers to mimic the natural signaling of a protein that is crucial for cartilage formation and maintenance. Researchers found that intensifying the motion of molecules within the nanofibers led to more components ...
June 12, 2024 A new study shows that analyzing nasal microbiota outperforms gut microbiota analysis to predict sepsis in the ...
May 23, 2024 A certain biological pathway drives the inflammation seen in the skin disease ...
Apr. 12, 2024 Researchers have identified a suite of genes explaining the disconnect between diagnosis and ...
Apr. 10, 2024 University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and ...
