Effects of Articular Cartilage Constituents on Phosphotungstic Acid Enhanced Micro-Computed Tomography [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CE mu CT) with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) has shown potential for detecting collagen distribution of articular cartilage.

Imaging of articular cartilage
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2014 AbstractWe tried to review the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in understanding microscopic and morphologic structure of the articular cartilage. The optimal protocols and available spin-echo sequences in present day practice are reviewed in context of common pathologies of articular cartilage.

Lubrication of articular cartilage [PDF]
Physics Today, 2018 A mix of proteins, polymers, lipids, and tightly bound but fluid shells of water molecules may account for a healthy joint’s ultralow friction.

THE PERMEABILITY OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1968 1. We have shown that the permeability of cartilage is the same in necropsy specimens as in the living animal. We have concluded that studies of material transport into cartilage carried out on necropsy specimens validly reflect in vivo conditions. 2. We have studied the effect of agitation of the fluid in which cartilage is immersed upon the rate of

Human stem cells and articular cartilage regeneration. [PDF]
, 2012 The regeneration of articular cartilage damaged due to trauma and posttraumatic osteoarthritis is an unmet medical need. Current approaches to regeneration and tissue engineering of articular cartilage include the use of chondrocytes, stem cells ...

Depletion of chondrocyte primary cilia reduces the compressive modulus of articular cartilage [PDF]
, 2014 Primary cilia are slender, microtubule based structures found in the majority of cell types with one cilium per cell. In articular cartilage, primary cilia are required for chondrocyte mechanotransduction and the development of healthy tissue.

Cell sources for articular cartilage repair strategies: shifting from mono-cultures to co-cultures [PDF]
, 2013 The repair of articular cartilage is challenging due to the sparse native cell population combined with the avascular and aneural nature of the tissue. In recent years cartilage tissue engineering has shown great promise.

Development of a peptide-siRNA nanocomplex targeting NF- κB for efficient cartilage delivery [PDF]
, 2019 Delivery of therapeutic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in an effective dose to articular cartilage is very challenging as the cartilage dense extracellular matrix renders the chondrocytes inaccessible, even to intra-articular injections. Herein, we used

Cryopreservation of articular cartilage
Cryobiology, 2013 Cryopreservation has numerous practical applications in medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and biodiversity conservation, with huge potentials for biological cell and tissue banking. A specific tissue of interest for cryopreservation is the articular cartilage of the human knee joint for two major reasons: (1) clinically, there

A review of the differences between normal and osteoarthritis articular cartilage in human knee and ankle joints [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease yet its pathophysiology is still poorly understood. It is more prevalent in some lower limb joints than others; in particular the knee is more commonly affected than the ankle.
