Industrial application of fish cartilaginous tissues
Current Research in Food Science, 2022 Cartilage is primarily composed of proteoglycans and collagen. Bioactive compounds derived from animal cartilage, such as chondroitin sulfate and type II collagen, have multiple bioactivities and are incorporated in popular health products.

Expression of CHI3L1 and CHIT1 in osteoarthritic rat cartilage model. A morphological study
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2014 Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, which affects millions of people around the world. It occurs when the protective cartilage at the end of bones wears over time, leading to loss of flexibility of the joint, pain and stiffness. The cause of

The minor collagens in articular cartilage
Protein & Cell, 2017 Articular cartilage is a connective tissue consisting of a specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) that dominates the bulk of its wet and dry weight. Type II collagen and aggrecan are the main ECM proteins in cartilage.

Principles of cartilage tissue engineering in TMJ reconstruction
Head & Face Medicine, 2008 Diseases and defects of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), compromising the cartilaginous layer of the condyle, impose a significant treatment challenge. Different regeneration approaches, especially surgical interventions at the TMJ's cartilage surface,

Adipochondrocytes in rabbit auricular cartilage [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Chondrocytes are described as one cell population in different cartilage types. The auricular cartilage in mouse and rat contains unique chondrocytes similar in morphology to white adipocytes and known as lipochondrocytes. Lipochondrocytes were not mentioned in other species. The current study aimed to explore the existence of this cell type in rabbits.

The role of structural viscoelasticity in deformable porous media with incompressible constituents: applications in biomechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The main goal of this work is to clarify and quantify, by means of mathematical analysis, the role of structural viscoelasticity in the biomechanical response of deformable porous media with incompressible constituents to sudden changes in external applied loads.

Water loss and defects dependent strength and ductility of articular cartilage
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2022 Water loss and surface defects of articular cartilage extremely aggravate the risk of osteoarticular diseases. The effects of water content and surface defects on the mechanical properties of cartilage need to be taken into further account.

Designing Fluid-Exuding Cartilage for Biomimetic Robots Mimicking Human Joint Lubrication Function [PDF]
The human joint is an open-type joint composed of bones, cartilage, ligaments, synovial fluid, and joint capsule, having advantages of flexibility and impact resistance. However, replicating this structure in robots introduces friction challenges due to the absence of bearings.
