Imaging of articular cartilage
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2014 We tried to review the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in understanding microscopic and morphologic structure of the articular cartilage. The optimal protocols and available spin-echo sequences in present day practice are reviewed in context of ...

The minor collagens in articular cartilage [PDF]
Protein & Cell, 2017 Articular cartilage is a connective tissue consisting of a specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) that dominates the bulk of its wet and dry weight. Type II collagen and aggrecan are the main ECM proteins in cartilage. However, little attention has been paid to less abundant molecular components, especially minor collagens, including type IV, VI, IX, X,

Modeling and Simulation of the Effects of Cyclic Loading on Articular Cartilage Lesion Formation [PDF]
, 2013 We present a model of articular cartilage lesion formation to simulate the effects of cyclic loading. This model extends and modifies the reaction-diffusion-delay model by Graham et al. 2012 for the spread of a lesion formed though a single traumatic event.
