Inhibition of Heat Shock Protein 90β by Catalpol: A Potential Therapeutic Approach for Alleviating Inflammation‐Induced Cartilage Injuries in Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram delineates the chondroprotective effects of Ca‐bMSN in OA models. The upper portion of the diagram depicts the synthesis process of Ca‐bMSN. The lower section illustrates the post‐injection of Ca‐bMSN in joint cavity, catalpol released and subsequently mediates the reduction of oxidative stress, ECM catabolism, apoptosis, and ...

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.

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

Functionalized Biomimetic Nanoparticles Targeting the IL‐10/IL‐10Rα/Glycolytic Axis in Synovial Macrophages Alleviate Cartilage Degeneration in Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The MOF material UIO‐66‐NH2 is functionalized with DBCO groups on its surface, encapsulating NO‐prednisolone and conjugating it with azide‐modified IL‐10. Finally, the complex is extruded with MM to form biomimetic functional nanoparticles. Upon intra‐articular injection, MI@UN, enveloped by the MM, specifically targets synovial macrophages, is ...

Modeling and Simulation of the Effects of Cyclic Loading on Articular Cartilage Lesion Formation

, 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.

A Measure of Control for Secondary Cytokine-Induced Injury of Articular Cartilage: A Computational Study [PDF]

, 2013
In previous works, the author and collaborators establish a mathematical model for injury response in articular cartilage. In this paper we use mathematical software and computational techniques, applied to an existing model to explore in more detail how

Liquid Metal Sloshing for High‐Load Active Self‐Healing System: An Application to Tendon‐Driven Legged Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Liquid metal “sloshing” by the robot's own actuator is proposed to improve the self‐healing performance. The proposed method drastically enhances the healed strength by decomposing the surface oxides and the impurities. The method contributes to the world's first demonstration of active self‐healing behavior performed by a life‐sized legged robot. Self‐

circNR3C2 promotes chondrogenic differentiation and cartilage repair of human adipose‐derived stem cells via the hsa‐miR‐647/SOX9 pathway

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The hypothesis diagram illustrates the function and mechanism of circNR3C2: circNR3C2 overexpression can up‐regulate COL2, Aggrecan and SOX9 expression, and regulate chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs by targeting hsa‐miR‐647. Abstract Background Human adipose‐derived stem cells (hADSCs) are seed cells with application prospects in cartilage repair.

Functional Synovium‐Based 3D Models in the Context of Human Disease and Inflammation

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The synovium is key to joint function but is often affected by diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Finding better treatments is challenging because current lab models do not fully mimic real tissues. New 3D technologies, like bioprinting, offer better methods to study these diseases, improve drug testing, and develop personalized treatments, bringing ...
