Exosomes from embryonic mesenchymal stem cells alleviate osteoarthritis through balancing synthesis and degradation of cartilage extracellular matrix

open access: yesStem cell research & therapeutics, 2017
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (OA) has been widely investigated, but the mechanisms are still unclear. Exosomes that serve as carriers of genetic information have been implicated in many diseases and are known to participate in many ...

Cocktail of Hyaluronic Acid and Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Cells Effectively Repairs Cartilage Injuries in Sodium Iodoacetate-Induced Osteoarthritis Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common refractory degenerative articular cartilage diseases. Human amniotic mesenchymal cells (hAMSCs) have emerged as a promising stem cell source for cartilage repair, and hyaluronic acid (HA) has proven to be a ...

Human Cartilage‐Derived Progenitor Cells From Committed Chondrocytes for Efficient Cartilage Repair and Regeneration

open access: yesStem Cells Translational Medicine, 2016
Articular cartilage is not a physiologically self‐renewing tissue. Injury of cartilage often progresses from the articular surface to the subchondral bone, leading to pathogenesis of tissue degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis.

Detection of Proteoglycan Loss from Articular Cartilage using Brillouin Microscopy, with Applications to Osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The degeneration of articular cartilage (AC) occurs in osteoarthritis (OA), which is a leading cause of pain and disability in middle-aged and older people. The early disease related changes in cartilage extra-cellular matrix (ECM) start with depletion of proteoglycan(PG), leading to an increase in tissue hydration and permeability.

Impact-Induced Cartilage Damage Assessed using Polarisation-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Significance: Non-invasive determination of structural changes in articular cartilage immediately after impact and rehydration provides insight into the response and recovery of the soft tissue, as well as provides a potential methodology for clinicians to quantify early degenerative changes. Approach: A custom-designed impact testing rig was used to

Articular cartilage repair: basic science and clinical progress. A review of the current status and prospects.

open access: yesOsteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2002
OBJECTIVE To review the basic scientific status of repair in articular cartilage tissue and to assess the efficiency of current clinical therapies instigated for the treatment of structural lesions generated therein as a result of trauma or during the ...

Chondrocyte Heterogeneity; It Is the Time to Update the Understanding of Cartilage Histology [PDF]

open access: yesSVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences (2018), 2018
Chondrocytes were described as one cell populations in most cartilage literature. Two different chondrocyte populations; dark and light, were described in the articular cartilage and a third population, adipochondrocytes, was described in the elastic cartilage.

Fiber Reinforced Cartilage ECM Functionalized Bioinks for Functional Cartilage Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, 2019
Focal articular cartilage (AC) defects, if left untreated, can lead to debilitating diseases such as osteoarthritis. While several tissue engineering strategies have been developed to promote cartilage regeneration, it is still challenging to generate ...

Circular RNA Related to the Chondrocyte ECM Regulates MMP13 Expression by Functioning as a MiR-136 ‘Sponge’ in Human Cartilage Degradation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the development of various diseases, but there is little knowledge of circRNAs in osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of study was to identify circRNA expression in articular cartilage and to explore the function of ...
