Articular cartilage has a poor ability to regenerate itself, therefore it is important to establish the treatment methodologies for cartilage diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Biomechanical assessment of extracellular matrix in native and tissue engineered cartilage across lenght scales [PDF]
Musculoskeletal diseases (MSD) and related disorders account for the largest fraction of temporary and permanent disabilities, and are often considered to be an inevitable consequence of aging.

Sandwiched between articular cartilage and subchondral bone, the calcified cartilage layer (CCL) takes on both biomechanical and biochemical functions in joint development and ordinary activities.

microRNAs in Cartilage Development, Homeostasis, and Disease [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression mainly at the posttranscriptional level. Many different miRNAs are expressed in chondrocytes, and each individual miRNA can regulate hundreds of target genes, creating a complex gene regulatory network.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is generally a disease of the elderly population, but can occur in young patients in exceptional cases. This study compares the cellular and epigenetic features of primary old-age OA with those of secondary OA in a 23-year old patient

Cartilage to bone transitions in health and disease [PDF]
Aberrant redeployment of the ‘transient’ events responsible for bone development and postnatal longitudinal growth has been reported in some diseases in what is otherwise inherently ‘stable’ cartilage. Lessons may be learnt from the molecular mechanisms underpinning transient chondrocyte differentiation and function, and their application may better ...

Cartilage tissue engineering for degenerative joint disease☆ [PDF]
Pain in the joint is often due to cartilage degeneration and represents a serious medical problem affecting people of all ages. Although many, mostly surgical techniques, are currently employed to treat cartilage lesions, none has given satisfactory results in the long term.

In major joint diseases the human synovium retains its potential to form repair cartilage [PDF]
The inner surface layer of human joints, the synovium, is a source of stem cells for the repair of articular cartilage defects. We investigated the potential of the normal human synovium to form novel cartilage and compared its chondrogenic capacity with

Investigation of the Effect of Selected Piperazine-2,5-Diones on Cartilage-Related Cells
Various chronic inflammatory diseases have become a problem, especially in the Western world. Whether it concerns inflammation of visceral organs, joints, bones, etc., it is always a physiological reaction of the body, which always tries to eradicate ...

The structural anisotropy of articular cartilage controls its deformation response. As proteoglycans and collagen vary with depth, simple uniaxial compression results in inhomogeneous deformation with distinct depth-dependent mechanical properties ...
