Differential patterns of PMN-elastase and type III procollagen peptide in knee joint effusions due to acute and chronic sports injuries [PDF]
In 38 traumatic knee joint effusions the proteolytic enzyme PMN-elastase (PMN-E) and the repair marker procollagen III aminoterminal peptide (PIIINP) were determined.

The role of structural viscoelasticity in deformable porous media with incompressible constituents: applications in biomechanics [PDF]
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.

Principles of cartilage tissue engineering in TMJ reconstruction
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,

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.

Water loss and defects dependent strength and ductility of articular cartilage
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.

UniCoN: Universal Conditional Networks for Multi-Age Embryonic Cartilage Segmentation with Sparsely Annotated Data [PDF]
Osteochondrodysplasia, affecting 2-3% of newborns globally, is a group of bone and cartilage disorders that often result in head malformations, contributing to childhood morbidity and reduced quality of life. Current research on this disease using mouse models faces challenges since it involves accurately segmenting the developing cartilage in 3D micro-

Blockade of ZMIZ1‐GATA4 Axis Regulation Restores Youthfulness to Aged Cartilage
Susceptibility to cartilage degeneration increases in an age‐dependent manner and older cartilage exhibits increased catabolic factor expression leading to osteoarthritis (OA). While inhibition of cellular senescence can prevent age‐related diseases, the

Hydrogel-Based 3D Bioprinting Technology for Articular Cartilage Regenerative Engineering
Articular cartilage is an avascular tissue with very limited capacity of self-regeneration. Trauma or injury-related defects, inflammation, or aging in articular cartilage can induce progressive degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.
