A new study has found that people with newly diagnosed OA (knee or hip) with contraindications to or precautions for NSAIDs use continue to be prescribed these drugs. Additionally they had higher use of opioids and slightly lower physical therapy (PT) use within the first year of OA diagnosis, both of which are not consistent
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neurological disease for which there is presently no cure, although current therapies can alleviate symptoms. In the search for better treatment options, scientists are now drawing attention to previously unnoticed abnormalities in embryonic development. They base their argument on studies of so-called organoids: Laboratory-grown tissue cultures that can

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 needed for regeneration. After just four hours, the treatment activated the gene expression necessary to generate cartilage. Therapy could

Understanding of the genetic factors contributing to human skull morphology and sheds light on the evolutionary changes that have taken place in the human lineage. The identification of TBX1 as a crucial gene in skull development offers valuable insights into both genetic disorders and the evolutionary history of our species. This research has the potential to impact fields ranging from genetics to anthropology, and may lead to a better understanding of craniofacial abnormalities and human evolution
Have developed a revolutionary technique for creating human cartilage specifically for the head and neck. This breakthrough offers numerous potential benefits for medical treatments and research. The innovative process, developed by a team of experts, sets a new standard for cartilage generation and is poised to make a significant impact in the field of regenerative medicine
