Chronic joint pain plagues over thirty-two million Americans.
Thirty-two million Americans have osteoarthritis, deterioration of joint cartilage and the attached bone. Many also have post-traumatic osteoarthritis, PTOA, as a result of an injury, like the more than 3 million veterans who suffer from it. There is no treatment for PTOA other than ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Cartilage Preservation and Restoration for Knee Osteoarthritis
Over the last decade, a variety of regenerative medicine approaches that either preserve articular cartilage in people who started with a focal cartilage injury and thus are at a higher risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) or restore defective articular cartilage in patients with symptomatic knee OA have been investigated. Recognizing the great promise of regenerative medicine for the treatment of knee OA, the importance of promoting scientific rigor and protecting patient safety, and the timing for the extramural community to adapt to new FDA guidance, NIAMS is organizing a roundtable to engage stakeholders to disc...

Health Disparities in Osteoarthritis [Day 2]
The goal of the Health Disparities in Osteoarthritis (OA) workshop, sponsored by NIAMS, NIA, and NIMHD, is to identify research gaps/needs that could be addressed in future NIH activities. The meeting will bring together OA investigators with others who have health disparities research expertise to exchange ideas regarding how/why disparities in OA treatment outcomes and access to care exist and how they can be addressed. It will highlight mechanisms through which integration of behavioral and biomedical science can lead to better health in OA.Air date: 7/13/2022 11:00:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Round: Stem Cells in Jaw Growth and Disease
NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Round
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the synovial joint of craniofacial complex and is critical for dental occlusion, mastication, and speech. TMJ trauma and diseases, such as osteoarthritis, are debilitating and compromise quality of life. Current TMJ treatments are two-fold, involving either palliative care or invasive total joint replacement surgeries. There are no minimally invasive, regenerative TMJ therapies. We have identified TMJ-specific fibrocartilage stem cells that self-organize and regenerate cartilage, fat and vascularized bone. Here we define heterogeneous popul...

NIDCR Grand Rounds: Women in Science – Stem Cells in Jaw Growth and Disease
NIDCR Grand Rounds
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex joint and the only bilateral joints that must function together as one unit to support mastication and speech. TMJ trauma and diseases, such as osteoarthritis, can be debilitating and severely reduce quality of life. Current TMJ treatments generally involve either pain management or invasive surgeries, such as total joint replacement surgery. There are no minimally invasive, regenerative TMJ therapies. Dr. Embree and her lab have identified TMJ-specific fibrocartilage stem cells that self-organize and regenerate cartilage, fat, and vascularized bone. She has...

3D Printer Helps Hip
Joint replacements have been around for a long time. Most people with conditions such as osteoarthritis can expect good results if they have one. But what about those who have complicated cases or unusual deformities that a standard replacement can't fix? In the past that's meant few options. Now, doctors at Mayo Clinic are using 3D printers to enable customized joint replacement surgeries. Many patients, who were out of luck, can now have a successful surgery and better quality of life.

Hockey Coach Gets Hip
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, close to 330,000 hip replacements are performed each year in the U.S. Many are done to ease the pain of osteoarthritis, also called wear and tear arthritis. And most patients are over age 60. But that's' changing, as younger patients are opting for surgery so they can stay active. Experts at Mayo Clinic say an alternative approach to standard hip replacement helps stop the pain and gets many people back to their normal activities faster.
