Scientists solve mystery of how lizards regenerate their tails -- The answer may cure arthritis

Researchers have identified key cells involved in cartilage regeneration. They believe that their discovery could pave the way for rebuilding cartilage damaged by osteoarthritis.

Scientists move step closer to regrowing injured human limbs after lizard cell discovery

Repairing injured knees and hips could be one step closer after scientists discovered the cells that allow certain reptiles to regrow their tails.

New insight into how 'magical' lizards regrow tails could offer hope for arthritis sufferers, study suggests

Translating a lizard's rare regenerative abilities to humans may sound like a comic book origin story (spoiler: it is), but researchers believe it could be life-changing for people who suffer from conditions like arthritis.

Unlocking the Lizard’s Secret: A Breakthrough in Cartilage Regeneration

Scientists from the Keck School of Medicine of USC identify key cells involved in the process of cartilage regeneration in lizards—a discovery that could offer insights into novel approaches to treating osteoarthritis. A team of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC has published th

Researchers unlock mystery of cartilage regeneration in lizards, insight into osteoarthritis-damaged cartilage

A team of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have published the first detailed description of the interplay between two cell types that allow lizards to regenerate their tails. This research, published on August 10 in Nature Communications, focused on lizards' unusual ability to rebuild cartilage, which replaces bone as the main structural tissue in regenerated tails after tail loss.
