To find out, healthy cartilage cells were placed in the presence and absence of arthritic synovial fluid. Even though these cells did not come from osteoarthritis patients, they behaved similarly ...

This research builds on previous work from the Stupp laboratory, which involved using “dancing molecules” to stimulate human cartilage cells to increase the production of tissue matrix proteins.

A team at the University of Cambridge has shown how, in osteoarthritis patients, the viscous lubricant that ordinarily allows our joints to move smoothly triggers a pain response from nerve cells ...

During osteoarthritis, synovial fluid becomes less viscous and these inflammatory substances come into direct contact with sensory nerve cells in the joint, producing the sensation of pain.

Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has successfully developed a novel engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) to ...

Elevated levels of synovial fluid proteins may be associated with poor functional outcomes in patients undergoing ...

If your joint is swollen, your doctor may want to extract a sample to see if any blood is mixed in with your synovial fluid. ... An X-ray won’t show damage to your soft tissue or cartilage.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Stem cells can successfully be isolated from synovial fluid in knees with acute ACL tears or osteoarthritis at the point of care using devices designed for platelet-rich ...
