Triticeal cartilage: the forgotten cartilage [PDF]
The triticeal cartilage (TC) is a small cartilage found within the thyrohyoid membrane. The TC has a variable prevalence between and within individuals. It has been suggested that absence of a TC results from its failure to separate from the superior horn of the thyroid cartilage (SHTC) and that individuals without a TC will have a longer SHTC.

Cartilage organoids for cartilage development and cartilage-associated disease modeling
Cartilage organoids have emerged as powerful modelling technology for recapitulation of joint embryonic events, and cartilage regeneration, as well as pathophysiology of cartilage-associated diseases. Recent breakthroughs have uncovered “mini-joint” models comprising of multicellular components and extracellular matrices of joint cartilage for ...

Variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to several inflammatory disorders. However, the potential links between such alternations and the risk of developing late fracture-related infection (FRI) remain unclear. This study investigated

New frontiers for cartilage repair, joint preservation and prevention
Damaged cartilage is seen with increasing frequency after joint trauma, alone or in combination with other joint injuries. A poor healing of injured cartilage leads to great disability and pain and could by time develop into osteoarthritis (OA).

Cartilage‐on‐cartilage versus metal‐on‐cartilage impact characteristics and responses [PDF]
AbstractA common in vitro model for studying acute mechanical damage in cartilage is to impact an isolated osteochondral or cartilage specimen with a metallic impactor. The mechanics of a cartilage‐on‐cartilage (COC) impact, as encountered in vivo, are likely different than those of a metal‐on‐cartilage (MOC) impact.

ABSTRACTmicroRNAs are small non‐coding RNAs that in the last decade have emerged as overarching regulators of gene expression. Their abundance, ability to repress a large number of target genes and overlapping target specificity indicate a complex network of interactions that is still being defined.

Cartilage damaged by trauma has a limited capacity to regenerate. Current methods of managing small chondral defects include palliative treatment with arthroscopic débridement and lavage, reparative treatment with marrow-stimulation techniques (eg, microfracture), and restorative treatment, including osteochondral grafting and autologous chondrocyte ...

Bone marrow stimulation techniques such as microfracture for the treatment of articular cartilage defects so far solely reproduce mechanically inferior fibrous cartilage tissue, which might result in unsatisfactory clinical results at midterm.

Surgical Fixation of Chondral-Only Fragments of the Knee: A Case Series With a Mean 4-Year Follow-up
Background: Chondral-only fragments of the knee have traditionally been treated with excision, with or without cartilage restoration procedures. This is because of the historical assumption that cartilage has limited ability to heal to cancellous or ...
