Recent Progress in Cartilage Lubrication [PDF]
Healthy articular cartilage, covering the ends of bones in major joints such as hips and knees, presents the most efficiently‐lubricated surface known in nature, with friction coefficients as low as 0.001 up to physiologically high pressures.

Cartilage Homeostasis and Osteoarthritis
Healthy limb joints are important for maintaining health and attaining longevity. Endochondral ossification (the replacement of cartilage with bone, occurring during skeletal development) is essential for bone formation, especially in long-axis bones. In

New frontiers for cartilage repair, joint preservation and prevention
Damaged cartilage is seen with increasing frequency after joint trauma, alone or in combination with other joint injuries. A poor healing of injured cartilage leads to great disability and pain and could by time develop into osteoarthritis (OA).

Variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to several inflammatory disorders. However, the potential links between such alternations and the risk of developing late fracture-related infection (FRI) remain unclear. This study investigated

Repairing a critical cranial defect using WISP1-pretreated chondrocyte scaffolds
In cranial flat bone fractures, spontaneous bone repair will occur only when the fracture ends are in close contact. However, in cases wherein bone discontinuity is extensive, surgical interventions are often required.

The Role of Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype in Bone Loss
As the population of most nations have a large proportion of older individuals, there is an increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis. Consequently, scientists have focused their attention on the pathogenic mechanisms of osteoporosis.
