Influence of collagen fibre orientation on the frictional properties of articular cartilage

open access: yesBiosurface 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 ...

Development of a peptide-siRNA nanocomplex targeting NF- κB for efficient cartilage delivery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Delivery of therapeutic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in an effective dose to articular cartilage is very challenging as the cartilage dense extracellular matrix renders the chondrocytes inaccessible, even to intra-articular injections. Herein, we used

Effects of Articular Cartilage Constituents on Phosphotungstic Acid Enhanced Micro-Computed Tomography.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CEμCT) with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) has shown potential for detecting collagen distribution of articular cartilage.

The synovial microenvironment suppresses chondrocyte hypertrophy and promotes articular chondrocyte differentiation

open access: yesnpj Regenerative Medicine, 2022
During the development of the appendicular skeleton, the cartilaginous templates undergo hypertrophic differentiation and remodels into bone, except for the cartilage most adjacent to joint cavities where hypertrophic differentiation and endochondral ...

Enhanced Tissue Integration During Cartilage RepairIn VitroCan Be Achieved by Inhibiting Chondrocyte Death at the Wound Edge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Objective: Experimental wounding of articular cartilage results in cell death at the lesion edge. The objective of this study was to investigate whether inhibition of this cell death results in enhanced integrative cartilage repair.

Use of mesenchymal stem cells seeded on the scaffold in articular cartilage repair

open access: yesInflammation 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.

Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering

open access: yesGels, 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 ...

Treatment of failed articular cartilage reconstructive procedures of the knee: A systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Symptomatic articular cartilage lesions of the knee are common and are being treated surgically with increasing frequency. While many studies have reported outcomes following a variety of cartilage restoration procedures, few have ...

Cryopreservation of articular cartilage

open access: yesCryobiology, 2013
Cryopreservation has numerous practical applications in medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and biodiversity conservation, with huge potentials for biological cell and tissue banking. A specific tissue of interest for cryopreservation is the articular cartilage of the human knee joint for two major reasons: (1) clinically, there

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...
