Cellular and molecular response to mechanical articular cartilage injury [PDF]
PhDJoint injures frequently involve structural damage to articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone. The outcome of acute joint surface defects (JSD) varies from spontaneous healing to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

Contribution of postnatal collagen reorientation to depth-dependent mechanical properties of articular cartilage [PDF]
The collagen fibril network is an important factor for the depth-dependent mechanical behaviour of adult articular cartilage (AC). Recent studies show that collagen orientation is parallel to the articular surface throughout the tissue depth in perinatal

Reimplantation after Periprosthetic Joint Infection: The Role of Microbiology
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is among the most feared orthopedic complications. Critical questions are whether the infection is completely resolved before reimplantation and what the clinical significance of positive culture is at reimplantation.

Postnatal development of depth-dependent collagen density in ovine articular cartilage [PDF]
Articular cartilage (AC) is the layer of tissue that covers the articulating ends of the bones in diarthrodial joints. Adult AC is characterised by a depth-dependent composition and structure of the extracellular matrix that results in depth-dependent ...
