Extracellular matrix fragmentation in young, healthy cartilaginous tissues [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2018
Although the composition and structure of cartilaginous tissues is complex, collagen II fibrils and aggrecan are the most abundant assemblies in both articular cartilage (AC) and the nucleus pulposus (NP) of the intervertebral disc (IVD).
