Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering

open access: yesGels, 2022
Articular cartilage is a highly specialized tissue found in diarthrodial joints, which is crucial for healthy articular motion. Despite its importance, articular cartilage has limited regenerative capacities, and the degeneration of this tissue is a ...

Study on the damage mechanism of articular cartilage based on the fluid–solid coupled particle model

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015
Articular cartilage damage is the primary cause of osteoarthritis. Very little literature work focuses on the microstructural damage mechanism of articular cartilage.

Study of the collagen structure in the superficial zone and physiological state of articular cartilage using a 3D confocal imaging technique

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2008
Introduction The collagen structure in the superficial zone of articular cartilage is critical to the tissue's durability. Early osteoarthritis is often characterized with fissures on the articular surface.

Repair of full-thickness articular cartilage defects using IEIK13 self-assembling peptide hydrogel in a non-human primate model

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Articular cartilage is built by chondrocytes which become less active with age. This declining function of the chondrocytes, together with the avascular nature of the cartilage, impedes the spontaneous healing of chondral injuries.

Differential gene expression associated with postnatal equine articular cartilage maturation

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2008
Background Articular cartilage undergoes an important maturation process from neonate to adult that is reflected by alterations in matrix protein organization and increased heterogeneity of chondrocyte morphology.

Conditional knockdown of hyaluronidase 2 in articular cartilage stimulates osteoarthritic progression in a mice model

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The catabolism of hyaluronan in articular cartilage remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of hyaluronidase 2 (Hyal2) knockdown in articular cartilage on the development of osteoarthritis (OA) using genetic manipulated ...

O-alg-THAM/gel hydrogels functionalized with engineered microspheres based on mesenchymal stem cell secretion recruit endogenous stem cells for cartilage repair

open access: yesBioactive Materials, 2023
Lacking self-repair abilities, injuries to articular cartilage can lead to cartilage degeneration and ultimately result in osteoarthritis. Tissue engineering based on functional bioactive scaffolds are emerging as promising approaches for articular ...
