They rely on the phenomenon of spontaneous repair of the cartilage tissue following vascular injury to the subchondral bone.

First, a small sample of healthy cartilage tissue is removed from a patient's knee by arthroscopic surgery.

The cartilage tissue in an infant's nose is comparatively soft and undeveloped, which is why most babies have button noses.

Kashin-Beck disease results in atrophy, degeneration and necrosis of cartilage tissue.

Inflammation and injury to the joint cause a breaking down of cartilage tissues, resulting in pain, swelling, and deformity.

Frequently these tumors appear in bone, and not in pre-existing cartilage tissue.

Type II collagen is an important component of the eye and mature cartilage tissue.

Our data can also be compared with those from other studies in which magnetic resonance methods were used to monitor changes in cartilage tissue during culture.

Based on first qualitative evidence that magnetic resonance might regenerate cartilage tissue, a number of further studies were conducted.
