Aggrecan: A target molecule of autoimmune reactions
Pathology & Oncology Research, 1996 Aggrecan in cartilage forms aggregates with hyaluronan and link protein, embedded in a collagen network. It accounts for the compressive stiffness and resilience of the hyaline cartilage. Many forms of inflammatory arthritis were shown to be accompanied with aggrecan degradation and loss from the cartilage. The loss of this major component of cartilage

Histopathologic Analysis of the Morpho‐Functional Zones of the Human Acetabular Labrum
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The structural and functional adaptation of soft tissues to mechanical load controls their ability to withstand injury and influences their capacity for healing. Similar to the knee meniscus, the acetabular labrum exhibits zonal differences in mechanical load distribution, resulting in distinct regions with unique structural and functional ...
