In Vitro Models For Cell-Based Cartilage Regeneration [PDF]

, 2014
__Abstract__ Covering the ends of the long bones in articular joints, cartilage allows smooth, gliding movement of the joints and distributes load evenly across the joint surface.

Gel‐Gel Interface Engineering for the Synthesis of Anisotropic Hydrogels with Designable Polymer Orientations

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports that when a gel‐gel interface is intentionally introduced into a hydrogel via two‐step polymerization, the polymer networks near the interface spontaneously align perpendicular to it. By employing a photo‐initiator system to spatially control the gel‐gel interface, anisotropic hydrogels with programmable orientations of polymer ...

Hydrogel-Based 3D Bioprinting Technology for Articular Cartilage Regenerative Engineering

Gels
Articular cartilage is an avascular tissue with very limited capacity of self-regeneration. Trauma or injury-related defects, inflammation, or aging in articular cartilage can induce progressive degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.

4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Preliminary characterisation of the surface of cartilage following exposure to saturated and unsaturated synthetic lips [PDF]

, 2011
Articular cartilage is covered by a microscopic structure known as surface amorphous layer. This surface structure is often the first victim of attack during cartilage degeneration, thereby resulting in a gross impairment in cartilage function such as ...

The superficial zone of articular cartilage

Inflammation and Regeneration, 2022
AbstractThe superficial zone of articular cartilage contributes to smooth joint motion through the production of proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), also known as lubricin. Recent studies indicate novel effects of PRG4 as a signaling molecule, other than a simple extracellular matrix protein.

Advancing Clinical Medicine with Raman Spectroscopy: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy and microscopy may become excellent tools in clinical medicine, including hematology, oncology, infectious diseases, neurology, gastroenterology, reproductive medicine, rheumatology, and cardiovascular research. However, many challenges such as signal interference, standardization issues, and limited clinical application need to be ...

Multiomics Analyses Reveal an Essential Role of Tryptophan in Treatment of csDMARDs in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease characterized by joint inflammation. Approximately 50% of patients show insufficient response to traditional synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs. This study aims to elucidate differential molecular profiles of the mechanisms underlying drug responses through multi‐omics strategy.

Growth factors that drive aggrecan synthesis in healthy articular cartilage. Role for transforming growth factor-β?

Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open
Introduction: Articular cartilage makes smooth movement possible and destruction of this tissue leads to loss of joint function. An important biomolecule that determines this function is the large aggregating proteoglycan of cartilage, aggrecan. Aggrecan
