Regulation of growth plate and articular chondrocyte differentiation : implications for longitudinal bone growth and articular cartilage formation [PDF]
Overall height and body proportions in humans are determined primarily by bone growth. Linear bone growth occurs at the growth plate, a thin layer of cartilage at the ends of long bones between the epiphysis and metaphysis.

Research progress of self-assembling peptide hydrogels in repairing cartilage defects
Due to the lack of blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels, the capacity of articular cartilage to heal is extremely limited. Once damaged, it is urgent for articular cartilage to repair the injury.

Effect of alendronate on post-traumatic osteoarthritis induced by anterior cruciate ligament rupture in mice. [PDF]
IntroductionPrevious studies in animal models of osteoarthritis suggest that alendronate (ALN) has antiresorptive and chondroprotective effects, and can reduce osteophyte formation.

Gene expression profiling reveals similarities between the spatial architectures of postnatal articular and growth plate cartilage. [PDF]
Articular and growth plate cartilage are discrete tissues but arise from a common cartilaginous condensation and have comparable spatial architectures consisting of distinct layers of chondrocytes.

The Basic Science of Articular Cartilage
Articular cartilage is the highly specialized connective tissue of diarthrodial joints. Its principal function is to provide a smooth, lubricated surface for articulation and to facilitate the transmission of loads with a low frictional coefficient ...
