Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

A New Technique for Distalization of the Tibial Tubercle That Allows Preservation of the Proximal Buttress

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Background: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a treatment option for patients with patellofemoral instability and chondrosis. Occasionally, these patients also present with patella alta, and distalization of the tibial tubercle is desirable. Free distal

Dynamic stiffness of articular cartilage and potential repair materials [PDF]

, 2012
Cartilage has limited potential for self repair. Therefore, articular cartilage lesions often lead to early osteoarthritis. Early clinical results of cartilage replacement procedures such as autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) seem promising,

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X‐linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS) syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures.

High efficiency transfection of embryonic limb mesenchyme with plasmid DNA using square wave pulse electroporation and sucrose buffer

BioTechniques, 2014
Micromass cultures of primary embryonic limb mesenchyme are a valuable model system for studying cartilage formation in vitro. However, high efficiency introduction of plasmid DNA into this hard-to-transfect cell type typically results in considerable ...

Biomimetic sulphated alginate hydrogels suppress IL-1β-induced inflammatory responses in human chondrocytes [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2017
Loss of articular cartilage from ageing, injury or degenerative disease is commonly associated with inflammation, causing pain and accelerating degradation of the cartilage matrix.

Freeze-thaw treatment effects on the dynamic mechanical properties of articular cartilage. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: As a relatively non-regenerative tissue, articular cartilage has been targeted for cryopreservation as a method of mitigating a lack of donor tissue availability for transplant surgeries.

Clinical Validation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based Cartilage Segmentation Predicting Knee Replacement

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective For cartilage morphology to serve as a scalable endpoint in clinical trials, analyses should be performed automatically without human interaction. To clinically validate artificial intelligence (AI)‐based analysis, we studied cartilage loss from MRI prior to knee replacement.

Cellular senescence in aging and osteoarthritis: Implications for cartilage repair

Acta Orthopaedica, 2016
— It is well accepted that age is an important contributing factor to poor cartilage repair following injury, and to the development of osteoarthritis.
