Contact mechanics modelling of articular cartilage and applications [PDF]
, 2006 Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage. The normal cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with remarkable lubricating properties and very low frictional co-efficient and wear and generally survives the ...

Cellular and molecular response to mechanical articular cartilage injury [PDF]
, 2010 PhDJoint injures frequently involve structural damage to articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone. The outcome of acute joint surface defects (JSD) varies from spontaneous healing to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

Use of mesenchymal stem cells seeded on the scaffold in articular cartilage repair
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2018 Articular cartilage has poor capacity for repair. Once damaged, they degenerate, causing functional impairment of joints. Allogeneic cartilage transplantation has been performed for functional recovery of articular cartilage.

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 ...

Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Gels, 2022 Articular cartilage is a highly specialized tissue found in diarthrodial joints, which is crucial for healthy articular motion. Despite its importance, articular cartilage has limited regenerative capacities, and the degeneration of this tissue is a ...
