A new hybrid printer has simplified the process of making implantable cartilage, researchers from Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine reported in the journal Biofabrication. The authors explained they have achieved a major breakthrough in the printing of 3D tissue. With their system...
U.S. Army researchers made a surprising discovery while examining the impact of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear (a common knee injury), on four serum biomarkers associated with cartilage health. The researchers found that pre-injury concentrations for all but one of the four serum...
So i want to get my cartilage pierced, but i have heard rumors about it. I hear that there are veins in that part of your ear that lead to your brain and if you puncture them it effects you brain. Is this true? Also, what is it called when you get your ear pierced like under your cartilage? Like...
A lab discovery is a step toward implantable replacement cartilage, holding promise for knees, shoulders, ears and noses damaged by osteoarthritis, sports injuries and accidents. Self-assembling sheets of mesenchymal stem cells permeated with tiny beads filled with growth factor formed thicker...

Dr. Nirav A. Shah, MD, an orthopaedic sports medicine surgeon affiliated with Palos Community Hospital is the first to design a new nanotechnology biomedical therapy that promotes the growth of new, stronger cartilage to aid in the treatment of joint injuries. "In conjunction with current...
I have my cartilage pierced twice. The first piercing is great, healthy, but the second one i tried changing too early and ended up getting a cartilage bump on both sides. It isnt bad, but i want it to go away! I have a ring in it. The one they pierced it with... what makes a cartilage bump go...
As in, clinical evidence from trials and such. I tore some cartilage, and the advertising on the Reparagen bottle claims it's more effective than Glucosamine with Chondroitin. It also claims that it actually helps rebuild cartilage, which is the claim that I am most interested in.
I got my cartilage pierced about 2 months ago. I had my friend (who's done at least 10 of these) do it with a needle and it's been fine ever since. I noticed about a month ago that there was a small bump on the back. And I just realised that its gotten bigger and I even got a very small bump on...
I am basically 99% sure i am getting this done. I just want maybe a tale or two from people who have had it done. Some advice would be super nice as well.
For example:
Needle vs Gun - why?
Merci beaucoup
