The synovium is a membrane-like structure that lines the knee joint and helps to keep the joint happy and healthy, mainly by producing and maintaining synovial fluid. Inflammation of this tissue is ...

Researchers have developed a 3D organ-on-a-chip, complete with blood vessels, that mimics the human joint. The discovery will help researchers understand the pathology of joint diseases better and ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a ...

An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can lead to severe osteoarthritis in both animal and human patients. Now, a new interdisciplinary study on the protein that lubricates our joints says ...

“Cartilage doesn't heal.” That's what doctors often tell us when we injure the flexible tissue that lines our hips, knees and shoulders or when osteoarthritis has eroded it so that our joints hurt ...

Accurately estimating human pose was among the first tasks addressed by deep learning. Early models like OpenPose focused on localizing human joints as 2D keypoints in image coordinates. Later, Google ...

Humans are a relatively young species. Before modern Homo sapiens took over, Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) roamed the planet. Scientists have discovered many shared attributes between our ...

Ever wondered what your skeleton looks like in motion? Take a look at these gifs of joints in action under X-ray. Michelle Starr Science editor Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes ...

Staying hydrated helps flush toxins from the body. This can reduce inflammation and decrease friction between bones. When a person becomes dehydrated, inflammation and friction may increase discomfort ...
