Influence of collagen fibre orientation on the frictional properties of articular cartilage
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2021 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 ...

Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Gels, 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 ...

Differential gene expression associated with postnatal equine articular cartilage maturation
BMC 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.

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

Computational Models of Articular Cartilage [PDF]
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2013 In osteoarthritis, articular cartilage degenerates and eventually wears out, resulting in pain and disability. It is a major challenge in health care to prevent osteoarthritis or slow down the progression of the disease. The onset of osteoarthritis may result from an altered stress and strain state in cartilage, for example, due to an injury of ...
