The mechanical properties of biological tissues influence their function and can predict degenerative conditions before gross histological or physiological changes are detectable. This is especially true for structural tissues such as articular cartilage,

Hyaline articular cartilage lacks blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves and is characterised by limited self-repair ability following injury. Traditional techniques of articular cartilage repair and regeneration all have certain limitations.

Influence of collagen fibre orientation on the frictional properties of articular cartilage
Articular cartilage has a unique collagen fibre network structure that exhibits both anisotropy and depth dependency. Collagen fibre orientation in a cross‐section parallel to the articular cartilage surface may affect the lubrication properties of ...

During the development of the appendicular skeleton, the cartilaginous templates undergo hypertrophic differentiation and remodels into bone, except for the cartilage most adjacent to joint cavities where hypertrophic differentiation and endochondral ...

Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering
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 ...

Use of mesenchymal stem cells seeded on the scaffold in articular cartilage repair
Articular cartilage has poor capacity for repair. Once damaged, they degenerate, causing functional impairment of joints. Allogeneic cartilage transplantation has been performed for functional recovery of articular cartilage.

The influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage: Quantitative MRI using T1 rho and T2 mapping. [PDF]
To explore the different influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage with T1 rho and T2 mapping sequences.MRI (3.0-T) scans of the right knee were performed in twenty-three young healthy adults immediately after 30 ...

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.

Study on the damage mechanism of articular cartilage based on the fluid–solid coupled particle model
Articular cartilage damage is the primary cause of osteoarthritis. Very little literature work focuses on the microstructural damage mechanism of articular cartilage.
