Contact mechanics modelling of articular cartilage and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage. The normal cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with remarkable lubricating properties and very low frictional co-efficient and wear and generally survives the ...

The effect of mechanical stress on the stiffness of articular cartilage and its role in the aetiology of osteoarthrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Although a substantial amount is known about the pathogenesis of osteoarthrosis, its aetiology and in particular the role that mechanical factors play, remains unclear.

Computational modelling of fluid load support in articular cartilage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural articular cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with very low friction coefficient and wear rate. Theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that the interstitial fluid of cartilage is pressurized considerably ...

Tenascin-C fragments are endogenous inducers of cartilage matrix degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cartilage destruction is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA) and is characterized by increased protease activity resulting in the degradation of critical extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins essential for maintaining cartilage integrity.

Are ankle chondrocytes from damaged fragments a suitable cell source for cartilage repair? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To characterize the post-expansion cartilage-forming capacity of chondrocytes harvested from detached fragments of osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of ankle joints (Damaged Ankle Cartilage Fragments, DACF), with normal ankle cartilage (NAC) as ...

ELR+ CXC chemokine signalling in cartilage homeostasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDThe production of ELR+ CXC chemokines is widely studied in arthritis and has been postulated to contribute to the inflammatory phenomena that eventually lead to cartilage breakdown.

Periosteum-covered ACI (ACI-P) versus collagen membrane ACI (ACI-C): A single-surgeon, large cohort analysis of clinical outcomes and graft survivorship

open access: yesJournal of Cartilage & Joint Preservation, 2021
Introduction: Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has undergone several technical modifications. Objectives: To compare clinical outcomes and graft survivorship between ''first-generation'' periosteum-covered ACI (ACI-P) and ''second-generation ...

A Clinical Study of Decellularized Tissue Engineering Hyaline Cartilage Graft (dLhCG) for Articular Cartilage Repair [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced science
ABSTRACT Current clinical approaches for knee cartilage repair are often limited by hypertrophy and fibrosis in the regenerated tissues. A decellularized tissue‐engineered hyaline cartilage graft (dLhCG), composed of a type II collagen‐based extracellular matrix, has been developed to overcome this limitation.

Bone Loss Rate May Interact with Other Risk Factors for Fractures among Elderly Women: A 15-Year Population-Based Study

open access: yesJournal of Osteoporosis, 2010
Aim was to investigate fracture risk (FR) according to bone loss (BL) rate. A random sample of 1652 women aged 53.5 years was measured with dual X-ray absorptiometry in femoral neck in 1989 and 1994 and divided into tertiles of annual BL rate: high >0.84%

Viability of Periosteal Tissue Obtained Postmortem

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 1999
Periosteal autografts have the potential to regenerate articular cartilage defects, but this potential is limited by the patient's age. Allograft transplantation from a young donor to an older recipient might bypass this limitation.
