Instead of replacing a torn ACL with a graft, surgeons placed a small collagen implant soaked in the patient’s own blood, helping the knee heal its own ligament with strong early results. This article covers emerging musculoskeletal and regenerative-medicine...

When a serious injury tears away a large chunk of muscle, the body usually fills the gap with scar. In animals, an engineered collagen scaffold instead helped grow real, working muscle there. This article covers emerging musculoskeletal and regenerative-medicine...

Scientists made a gel from turmeric-based particles that responds to inflammation and adjusts iron in the knee, helping injured cartilage heal into stronger, more durable tissue after microfracture repair, a common procedure. This article covers emerging...
