Cartilage-hair hypoplasia occurs most often in the Old Order Amish population, where it affects about 1 in 1,300 newborns. (medlineplus.gov)
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia is caused by mutations in the RMRP gene. (medlineplus.gov)

Another formulation could improve treatments for those with damaged cartilage in their knees, say the team. (materialstoday.com)

Severe infections tend to occur in more avascular areas, such as auricular cartilage ( 2 ). (cdc.gov)

A treatment known as MIV-711 targets an enzyme called cathepsin K that is thought to play a role in the destruction of cartilage and the breakdown of too much bone. (medscape.com)
With the treatment, he says, you restore the normal equilibrium in the knee by protecting it from cartilage breakdown. (medscape.com)

Gene expression analysis indicates that esrra is expressed in developing pharyngeal arches where genes necessary for cartilage development are also expressed. (nature.com)
Loss of function analysis shows that knockdown of esrra impairs expression of genes including sox9, col2a1, sox5, sox6, runx2 and col10a1 thus induces abnormally formed cartilage in pharyngeal arches. (nature.com)
Expression of esrra is colocalised with genes necessary for cartilage development in pharyngeal arches during zebrafish embryogenesis. (nature.com)

As the knee's natural cushioning -- the cartilage -- wanes, inflammation and pain rise, and people can't get around as well. (medscape.com)

Knockdown of esrra induces abnormally formed cartilage structure in pharyngeal arches. (nature.com)

The innermost part of the cartilage is pierced, above the tragus and at the end of the helix. (spencersonline.com)

A Review of Cartilage Defect Treatments Using Chitosan Hydrogels in Experimental Animal Models. (bvsalud.org)
Moreover, CS hydrogels are able to promote the expression of cartilage matrix components and reduce inflammatory and catabolic mediator production by chondrocytes . (bvsalud.org)

This was treated with enzymes to release the cartilage-producing chondrocytes which were then incubated in a culture vessel containing a suitable growth medium for fourteen days to increase their numbers. (thenakedscientists.com)

Board-certified sports medicine doctors at University Hospitals are highly skilled in the diagnostics and treatment of any sports injury, including torn cartilage. (uhhospitals.org)
When surgery is the best treatment path for a cartilage tear knee injury, orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians at University Hospitals collaborate to determine the best option for each patient's individual goals. (uhhospitals.org)
Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scans: Can show small tears and areas of tendon, ligament, cartilage or other muscle injury. (uhhospitals.org)
Treatment for this kind of injury involves stimulating the regeneration of bone underneath the damaged or eroded cartilage. (openhealthtools.org)
But more than 2 million people, usually through injury, are diagnosed with cartilage-related joint conditions every year, and the problem is often long-lived. (thenakedscientists.com)

These data suggest that particular attention should be given to therapeutic interference with cartilage destruction. (bmj.com)

Advanced treatments to restore damaged cartilage, relieving pain and delaying or preventing the need for joint replacement surgery. (rush.edu)
The work is significant because cartilage does not heal itself, which means that in serious cases joint replacement is usually the only option. (newscientist.com)
If you're suffering from severe joint pain caused by cartilage erosion, then you're probably willing to try anything to get rid of the ache. (openhealthtools.org)
The best joint supplements often explicitly promise to help rebuild cartilage. (openhealthtools.org)
Joint pain stemming from a lack of cartilage - or damaged cartilage - can be extraordinarily unpleasant. (openhealthtools.org)
Joint pain caused by a lack of cartilage is quite common. (openhealthtools.org)
Studies have shown that glucosamine supplementation is correlated with reduced joint pain, greater flexibility, and more robust cartilage production. (openhealthtools.org)
If this cartilage wears away, the joint becomes inflamed and painful. (forbes.com)
Inside this "armour" lies the protein aggrecan, whose role is to bind water and keep the cartilage soft and elastic so that it swells and becomes a "cushion" in the joint. (lu.se)

These problems may include an inability to properly absorb nutrients or intolerance of a protein called gluten found in wheat and other grains ( celiac disease ). (medlineplus.gov)
They found 65% less bone disease progression in the treated groups, regardless of dose, Conaghan says. (medscape.com)

In this report, we establish an in vivo role of Esrra in cartilage development during embryogenesis in zebrafish. (nature.com)
