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 ...

Depletion of chondrocyte primary cilia reduces the compressive modulus of articular cartilage [PDF]

, 2014
Primary cilia are slender, microtubule based structures found in the majority of cell types with one cilium per cell. In articular cartilage, primary cilia are required for chondrocyte mechanotransduction and the development of healthy tissue.

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 ...

Study of the collagen structure in the superficial zone and physiological state of articular cartilage using a 3D confocal imaging technique

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2008
Introduction The collagen structure in the superficial zone of articular cartilage is critical to the tissue's durability. Early osteoarthritis is often characterized with fissures on the articular surface.

The influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage: Quantitative MRI using T1 rho and T2 mapping. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
To explore the different influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage with T1 rho and T2 mapping sequences.MRI (3.0-T) scans of the right knee were performed in twenty-three young healthy adults immediately after 30 ...

Study on the damage mechanism of articular cartilage based on the fluid–solid coupled particle model

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015
Articular cartilage damage is the primary cause of osteoarthritis. Very little literature work focuses on the microstructural damage mechanism of articular cartilage.

A review of the differences between normal and osteoarthritis articular cartilage in human knee and ankle joints [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease yet its pathophysiology is still poorly understood. It is more prevalent in some lower limb joints than others; in particular the knee is more commonly affected than the ankle.

Repair of full-thickness articular cartilage defects using IEIK13 self-assembling peptide hydrogel in a non-human primate model

Scientific Reports, 2021
Articular cartilage is built by chondrocytes which become less active with age. This declining function of the chondrocytes, together with the avascular nature of the cartilage, impedes the spontaneous healing of chondral injuries.

Changes in articular cartilage after meniscectomy and meniscus replacement using a biodegradable porous polymer implant [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term effects of implantation of a biodegradable polymer meniscus implant on articular cartilage degeneration and compare this to articular cartilage degeneration after meniscectomy.

Differential gene expression associated with postnatal equine articular cartilage maturation

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2008
Background Articular cartilage undergoes an important maturation process from neonate to adult that is reflected by alterations in matrix protein organization and increased heterogeneity of chondrocyte morphology.
