A team in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the EHU-University of the Basque Country and which is part of the BIOMAT group has developed structures for cartilage regeneration based on cellulose, gelatin and soy proteins with promising mechanical and biological properties.

Owing to the lack of blood vessels and nerves and the limited number of chondrocytes in articular cartilage, cartilage repair has long been a topic of interest and a clinical challenge worldwide

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) is a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer with few effective treatment options. But now a clinical trial led by doctors from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) has found that abemaciclib (Verzenio®) - a drug already approved for certain breast cancers...

Sarcomas are cancers that occur in bone or soft tissue, such as muscles and fat. These cancers are rare and diverse, with more than 150 different variations.

Spira notes that delayed sarcoma diagnoses are not typically the result of physician error but rather just due to the nature of the condition. Because sarcomas arise in muscle and soft tissue, early symptoms can resemble a common strain or minor injury, leading patients to be reassured or treated co...

Afami-cel dramatically shrank sarcoma tumors in almost half of patients participating in a clinical trial, led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) sarcoma specialist and immunotherapy expert Sandra D’Angelo, MD.

Primary bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma, have seen stagnant survival rates over the past four decades. Surgical removal of the tumor is critical, but local recurrence may occur when tumours are close to vital structures, often resulting in amputation.

Two new drugs show promise in treating relapsed Ewing sarcoma, as new studies from University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center researchers report.

As the prevalence of hip arthroscopy increases, so has the role of capsular management. Biomechanical studies have shown that a capsulotomy restores the native biomechanics and rotation profile of the hip.2,4 Recent clinical studies have also shown that capsular closure at the time of primary hip ar...

Patients presenting for surgery have statistically significant deficits in temporospatial parameters when compared to their unimpaired peers though many of these differences could be considered to not be clinically significant. Patients with previous surgery or diagnosed with unilateral involvement ...
