Imaging of articular cartilage

open access: yesIndian 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]

open access: yesProtein & 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.

CCN family member 2/connective tissue growth factor (CCN2/CTGF) has anti-aging effects that protect articular cartilage from age-related degenerative changes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Clinical Application Status of Articular Cartilage Regeneration Techniques: Tissue-Engineered Cartilage Brings New Hope

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2020
Hyaline articular cartilage lacks blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves and is characterised by limited self-repair ability following injury. Traditional techniques of articular cartilage repair and regeneration all have certain limitations.

THE PERMEABILITY OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1968
1. We have shown that the permeability of cartilage is the same in necropsy specimens as in the living animal. We have concluded that studies of material transport into cartilage carried out on necropsy specimens validly reflect in vivo conditions. 2. We have studied the effect of agitation of the fluid in which cartilage is immersed upon the rate of

Atomic Force Microscopy Micro-Indentation Methods for Determining the Elastic Modulus of Murine Articular Cartilage

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The mechanical properties of biological tissues influence their function and can predict degenerative conditions before gross histological or physiological changes are detectable. This is especially true for structural tissues such as articular cartilage,

FoxO1 is a crucial mediator of TGF-β/TAK1 signaling and protects against osteoarthritis by maintaining articular cartilage homeostasis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease and has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Currently, there are no effective therapeutic approaches to treat OA. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop mechanistically-

Lubrication of articular cartilage [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Today, 2018
A mix of proteins, polymers, lipids, and tightly bound but fluid shells of water molecules may account for a healthy joint’s ultralow friction.
