Segmentation of articular cartilage and early osteoarthritis based on the fuzzy soft thresholding approach driven by modified evolutionary ABC optimization and local statistical aggregation [PDF]
, 2019 Articular cartilage assessment, with the aim of the cartilage loss identification, is a crucial task for the clinical practice of orthopedics. Conventional software (SW) instruments allow for just a visualization of the knee structure, without post ...

Salt‐Compact Albumin as a New Pure Protein‐based Biomaterials: From Design to In Vivo Studies
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.A new class of materials built entirely of native albumin protein is designed using a simple protocol based on salt‐assisted compaction, breaking with current crosslinking strategies. This green process leads, surprisingly, to water‐insoluble handable materials with high preservation of their native protein structures and Young's modulus close to that ...

Influence of pregnancy on gene expression in rabbit articular cartilage [PDF]
, 1998 Objective: Articular cartilage is known to be influenced by estrogen and the pregnancy-associated hormone, relaxin,in vitro. Such observations have raised the possibility that articular cartilage in females may be subjected to unique regulatory ...

Tensorial Electrokinetics in Articular Cartilage [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 Electrokinetic phenomena contribute to biomechanical functions of articular cartilage and underlie promising methods for early detection of osteoarthritic lesions. Although some transport properties, such as hydraulic permeability, are known to become anisotropic with compression, the direction-dependence of cartilage electrokinetic properties remains ...

Pyrophosphate‐Containing Calcium Phosphates Negatively Impact Heterotopic Bone Quality
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The role of calcium pyrophosphate (Ca‐PP) in heterotopic bone formation and material degradation is investigated using calcium phosphate (CaP) compositions with varying Ca‐PP content. Results show that Ca‐PP does not impede heterotopic bone formation, minimally affects CaP degradation at non‐osseous sites, and increases phagocytosis.

The degeneration and destruction of femoral articular cartilage shows a greater degree of deterioration than that of the tibial and patellar articular cartilage in early stage knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2014 SummaryObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to examine whether the degenerative and morphological changes of articular cartilage in early stage knee osteoarthritis (OA) occurred equally for both femoral- and tibial- or patellar- articular cartilage ...

Nutrition and degeneration of articular cartilage [PDF]
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2012 To determine the importance of synovial fluid (SF) or subchondral bone marrow (BM) as nutrition sources in cartilage degeneration.Ninety-five-month-old male rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups according to sources of nutrition: SFBM-both; BM-only; SF-only; None-SFBM; and Free plug (unrestricted).
