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.
