Growth factors that drive aggrecan synthesis in healthy articular cartilage. Role for transforming growth factor-β?

Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open
Introduction: Articular cartilage makes smooth movement possible and destruction of this tissue leads to loss of joint function. An important biomolecule that determines this function is the large aggregating proteoglycan of cartilage, aggrecan. Aggrecan

Fresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects of the Knee

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2016
Articular cartilage damage of the knee can cause severe morbidity. Owing to its avascular nature, articular cartilage has limited potential for self-healing and increased propensity to progress to osteoarthritis.

Maternal gut microbiota‐derived daidzein prevents osteoporosis in female offspring following prenatal prednisone exposure

iMeta, EarlyView.
Prenatal prednisone therapy (PPT)/prenatal prednisone exposure (PPE) induces long bone dysplasia, reduced peak bone mass (PBM), and increased osteoporosis susceptibility in female offspring. Maternal gut microbiota metabolite daidzein (DAI) mediates PPE‐induced osteoporosis susceptibility in female adult offspring.

Physically crosslinked gelatin bio‐inks with enhanced printability, degradation and mechanical robustness for multi‐modal bioprinting

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A sustainable, physically crosslinked bio‐ink (Gel‐X) composed of gelatin, gellan gum, and Laponite XLG was developed for multi‐modal 3D bioprinting. Gel‐X is prepared within an hour by simple mixing in deionized water, eliminating the need for chemical crosslinkers.

Plasma Nerve Growth Factor Is Associated With Early Postoperative Shoulder Stiffness in Patients With Degenerative Rotator Cuff Tears

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Flowchart of the clinical workflow. ABSTRACT Objective This study was to investigate the correlation between plasma nerve growth factor (NGF) and postoperative range of motion (ROM) in patients with rotator cuff tears (RCT). Methods From January 2022 to March 2024, a total of 135 patients with degenerative RCT were included.

Association of UCMA With Cartilage Pathogenesis and Inflammation in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Novel Biomarker

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The study of 98 RA patients and 24 healthy controls found significantly higher serum levels of UCMA, COMP, TNF‐α, and IL‐6 in RA patients. ROC curve analysis showed that these markers could differentiate RA from healthy controls. UCMA correlates with inflammation and cartilage degeneration, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic marker.

Current Landscape of Short‐T2 Imaging Techniques in the Musculoskeletal System: The Past, Present and Future

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional MRI is limited in imaging tissues with short T2 relaxation times, such as bone, ligaments, and cartilage, due to their rapid signal decay. This limitation has spurred the development of specialized MRI techniques designed specifically for short‐T2 tissue imaging.

Aberrant Gait Biomechanics Linked to Cartilage Changes After ACL Reconstruction in Those With High Body Mass Index

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and high body mass index (BMI) are strong risk factors for incident knee osteoarthritis. Limited research has evaluated the interaction between ACLR and high BMI on limb‐level loading and early deleterious changes in cartilage health.
