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.

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.

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Ultrasound‐Activatable Piezoelectric Hydrogel Reprograms Mitochondrial Epigenetics for Osteoarthritis Therapy via the mTOR/GATD3A Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An ultrasound‐activatable piezoelectric hydrogel reprograms chondrocyte mitochondrial epigenetics via the mTOR/GATD3A axis, clearing damaged mitochondria and alleviating osteoarthritis progression in both mouse models and human cartilage explants. ABSTRACT The avascular nature of cartilage hinders drug delivery for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy.

ELR+ CXC chemokine signalling in cartilage homeostasis. [PDF]

, 2011
PhDThe production of ELR+ CXC chemokines is widely studied in arthritis and has been postulated to contribute to the inflammatory phenomena that eventually lead to cartilage breakdown.

Recent progress of hydrogel-based biomimetic articular cartilage in mechanical and lubricated enhancement

Friction
Articular cartilage covering a joint surface provides excellent lubrication and a load-bearing interface for the daily activities of the human body, which is characterized by high load-bearing, low friction, and wear resistance.

Does radiofrequency ablation (RFA) epiphysiodesis affect adjacent joint cartilage?

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2016
Purpose To test the hypothesis that epiphysiodesis made with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe procedure that disrupts the growth plate without damaging the adjacent joint articular cartilage.

Cartilaginous Organoids: Advances, Applications, and Perspectives

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, 2023
Cartilage is a nonvascular and non‐neural, mesoderm‐derived tissue. Cartilage repair, especially articular cartilage repair and reconstruction, has always been a difficult problem in bone tissue engineering.

Identification of an Osteochondral Erosion Process in Gout Driven by Fibrinogen‐Integrin Activation and Local MSU Crystallization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cartilage injury promotes local fibrinogen deposition, which accelerates monosodium urate crystallization and activates integrin‐mediated matrix‐degradation. This self‐amplifying cycle drives gout‐related cartilage erosion. Disrupting fibrinogen deposition or restoring the cartilage barrier could interrupt this vicious cycle.

Cerium Nanoparticle‐Mediated Inhibition of the NSUN2/m5C Axis Suppresses Synovial Aggression in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel epitranscriptomic mechanism in rheumatoid arthritis is uncovered: NSUN2 promotes disease via m5C‐dependent stabilization of ICMT mRNA, fueling the migration and invasion of pathogenic RA FLS. Targeting this axis with engineered nanoparticles (Ce/SAA NPs) effectively inhibits disease progression, presenting a precise therapeutic strategy ...
