US EditionDiscovery of new skeletal tissue advances regenerative medicine potential
- An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue called "lipocartilage," which has great potential for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
- Lipocartilage contains fat-filled cells known as "lipochondrocytes" that provide internal support, allowing the tissue to remain soft and springy, similar to bubbled packaging material.
- The study reveals that lipochondrocytes maintain stable lipid reserves, which is crucial for the tissue's durability and flexibility, and opens new possibilities for treating facial defects and cartilage diseases.
- The findings challenge existing assumptions in biomechanics and suggest that lipochondrocytes could be used to create patient-specific living cartilage through stem cells and 3D printing technology.

An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue that offers great potential for advancing regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Most cartilage relies on an external extracellular matrix for strength, but “lipocartilage,” which is found in the ears, nose and throat of mammals, is uniquely packed with fat-filled cells called “lipochondrocytes” that provide super-stable…
