Toward New Assessment of Knee Cartilage Degeneration

open access: yesCARTILAGE, 2022
Objective Assessment of human joint cartilage is a crucial tool to detect and diagnose pathological conditions. This exploratory study developed a workflow for 3D modeling of cartilage and bone based on multimodal imaging. New evaluation metrics were created and, a unique set of data was gathered from healthy controls and patients with clinically ...

Cholesterol-induced LRP3 downregulation promotes cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis by targeting Syndecan-4

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
This study demonstrates a role of cholesterol metabolism-related gene, Lrp3, in cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis pathogenesis. LRP3 positively regulates cartilage extracellular matrix metabolism by targeting syndecan-4 via Ras signalling ...

Mild treadmill exercise inhibits cartilage degeneration via macrophages in an osteoarthritis mouse model

open access: yesOsteoarthritis and Cartilage Open, 2023
Objective: We previously reported how treadmill exercise can suppress cartilage degeneration. Here, we examined the changes in macrophage dynamics in knee osteoarthritis (OA) during treadmill exercise and the effect of macrophage depletion.

A review of the differences between normal and osteoarthritis articular cartilage in human knee and ankle joints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease yet its pathophysiology is still poorly understood. It is more prevalent in some lower limb joints than others; in particular the knee is more commonly affected than the ankle.

Increase in cartilage degeneration in all knee compartments after failed ACL reconstruction at 4 years of follow-up

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2021
Purpose Degeneration of the cartilage after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is known, and further deterioration can be expected in patients with tunnel malplacement or partial meniscal resection.
