Intra-Articular Injections of Polyphenols Protect Articular Cartilage from Inflammation-Induced Degradation: Suggesting a Potential Role in Cartilage Therapeutics.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Arthritic diseases, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, inflict an enormous health care burden on society. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease with high prevalence among older people, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune ...

Research progress of self-assembling peptide hydrogels in repairing cartilage defects

Frontiers in Materials, 2022
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.

Mechanoadaptation: articular cartilage through thick and thin

Journal of Physiology, 2018
The articular cartilage is exquisitely sensitive to mechanical load. Its structure is largely defined by the mechanical environment and destruction in osteoarthritis is the pathophysiological consequence of abnormal mechanics. It is often overlooked that

Effects of low tangential permeability in the superficial layer on the frictional property of articular cartilage

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2015
The biphasic characteristics of articular cartilage are known to play important roles in cartilage lubrication. However, it is still difficult to biotribologically explain the extremely low friction coefficient observed in articular cartilage.

Gene expression profiling reveals similarities between the spatial architectures of postnatal articular and growth plate cartilage. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
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.

Physician Referral Patterns to Physical Therapists for Managing Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Health Records from an Integrated Health System

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives This study aims to describe the frequency and timing of physician referrals to physical therapists (PT) and other treatments prescribed over 12 months in patients with recent onset of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study also aims to identify determinants of early PT referrals.

Engineering gene-activated bioprinted scaffolds for enhancing articular cartilage repair

Materials Today Bio
Untreated articular cartilage injuries often result in severe chronic pain and dyskinesia. Current repair strategies have limitations in effectively promoting articular cartilage repair, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. A gene-

Correlation of Biomechanical Alterations under Gonarthritis between Overlying Menisci and Articular Cartilage

Applied Sciences, 2020
Just like menisci, articular cartilage is exposed to constant and varying stresses. Injuries to the meniscus are associated with the development of gonarthritis.

Osteoarthritis severely decreases the elasticity and hardness of knee joint cartilage: A nanoindentation study [PDF]

, 2019
The nanoindentation method was applied to determine the elastic modulus and hardness of knee articular cartilage. Cartilage samples from both high weight bearing (HWB) and low weight bearing (LWB) femoral condyles were collected from patients diagnosed ...

Knee Crepitus and Osteoarthritis Features in Young Adults Following Traumatic Knee Injury

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study explored the association between knee crepitus and the presence, and worsening, of structural osteoarthritis features and self‐reported outcomes in young adults following traumatic knee injury. Methods One year following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), 112 participants (41 female participants; median age 28 years ...
