How to rapidly abolish knee extension deficit after injury or surgery: a practice-changing video pearl from the Scientific Anterior Cruciate Ligament Network International (SANTI) Study Group [PDF]

, 2018
Knee extension deficit is frequently observed after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction or rupture and other acute knee injuries. Loss of terminal extension often occurs because of hamstring contracture and quadriceps inactivation rather than ...

Persistent Biomechanical Alterations After ACL Reconstruction Are Associated With Early Cartilage Matrix Changes Detected by Quantitative MR. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundThe effectiveness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in preventing early osteoarthritis is debated. Restoring the original biomechanics may potentially prevent degeneration, but apparent pathomechanisms have yet to be described.

DNA Origami‐Based CD44‐Targeted Therapy Silences Stat3 Enhances Cartilage Regeneration and Alleviates Osteoarthritis Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a cartilage‐targeted DNA origami system (OCS) that protects and delivers si‐Stat3 to chondrocytes. OCS reduces MMP13 expression, enhances extracellular matrix stability, and lowers oxidative stress while improving cell survival. In vivo, OCS decreases cartilage degradation biomarkers and promotes tissue repair factors, demonstrating

Long noncoding RNA GCH1 mediates mitophagy via the PTEN‐induced kinase 1/Parkin pathway to drive chondrocyte dysfunction and cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the role of lncRNA‐GCH1 in regulating mitophagy and its downstream effects on chondrocyte dysfunction and cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). Elevated lncRNA‐GCH1 stabilizes PINK1 protein, enhancing mitophagy and mitochondrial turnover.
