Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in various parts of the body, including joints, nose, ears, and ribs. It provides structural support, cushioning, and shock absorption to the body. Cartilage research is essential for understanding various diseases like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and for developing new therapies for cartilage repair and regeneration. Tissue sections are needed for cartilage research to examine the structure, composition, and function of cartilage cells and matrix in detail.
