Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Focal lesions of articular cartilage give rise to pain and reduced joint function and may, if left untreated, lead to osteoarthritis. Implantation of in vitro generated, scaffold-free autologous cartilage discs may represent the best treatment option ...

Vitrification of particulated articular cartilage via calculated protocols
npj Regenerative Medicine, 2021 Preserving viable articular cartilage is a promising approach to address the shortage of graft tissue and enable the clinical repair of articular cartilage defects in articulating joints, such as the knee, ankle, and hip.

CCN family member 2/connective tissue growth factor (CCN2/CTGF) has anti-aging effects that protect articular cartilage from age-related degenerative changes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 To examine the role of connective tissue growth factor CCN2/CTGF (CCN2) in the maintenance of the articular cartilaginous phenotype, we analyzed knee joints from aging transgenic mice (TG) overexpressing CCN2 driven by the Col2a1 promoter.

Development of a peptide-siRNA nanocomplex targeting NF- κB for efficient cartilage delivery [PDF]
, 2019 Delivery of therapeutic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in an effective dose to articular cartilage is very challenging as the cartilage dense extracellular matrix renders the chondrocytes inaccessible, even to intra-articular injections. Herein, we used

Influence of collagen fibre orientation on the frictional properties of articular cartilage
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2021 Articular cartilage has a unique collagen fibre network structure that exhibits both anisotropy and depth dependency. Collagen fibre orientation in a cross‐section parallel to the articular cartilage surface may affect the lubrication properties of ...
