Pax1 and Pax9 activate Bapx1 to induce chondrogenic differentiation in the sclerotome. [PDF]

, 2003
We have previously shown that the paired-box transcription factors Pax1 and Pax9 synergistically act in the proper formation of the vertebral column. Nevertheless, downstream events of the Pax1/Pax9 action and their target genes remain to be elucidated ...

Avian neural crest cell migration is diversely regulated by the two major hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans PG-M/versican and aggrecan [PDF]

, 2000
It has been proposed that hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans play an important role as guiding cues during neural crest (NC) cell migration, but their precise function has not been elucidated.

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]

, 2009
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

Supramolecular Engineering of Fluid Pressure in Filamentous Hybrid Double Network Hydrogels for 3D Chondrocyte Culture

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the water‐rich and interconnected biopolymer networks of native load‐bearing tissues, we disclose a connectable design for a hybrid filamentous supramolecular and covalent double network hydrogel generated through in situ photopolymerization.

Gel-like behavior in aggrecan assemblies [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2008
Aggrecan, a large biological polyelectrolyte molecule with a bottlebrush shape, forms complexes with hyaluronic acid (HA) that provide compressive resistance in cartilage. In solutions of aggrecan alone, the concentration dependence of the osmotic pressure Π is marked by self-assembly of the molecules into aggregates.

Packed for Ossification: High‐Density Bioprinting of hPDC Spheroids in HAMA Toward Endochondral Ossification

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Human periosteum‐derived cell spheroids bioprinted at high density within a hyaluronic acid matrix promote fusion and hypertrophic cartilage formation in vitro. Early encapsulation enhances spheroid interaction and matrix maturation, generating scalable cartilage templates intended for endochondral bone regeneration.

Anabolic and catabolic responses of human articular chondrocytes to varying oxygen percentages [PDF]

, 2010
Oxygen is a critical parameter proposed to modulate the functions of chondrocytes ex-vivo as well as in damaged joints. This article investigates the effect of low (more physiological) oxygen percentage on the biosynthetic and catabolic activity of human
