Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering for Regenerative Repair of Articular Cartilage Defects

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2009
Articular cartilage defects heal very poorly and lead to degenerative arthritis. Existing medications cannot promote healing process; cartilage defects eventually require surgical replacements with autografts.

Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering Products for Chondral Knee Injuries

open access: yesRevista Colombiana de Biotecnología, 2017
The articular cartilage is prone to suffer lesions of different etiology, being the articular cartilage lesions of the knee the most common. Although most conventional treatments reduce symptoms they lead to the production of fibrocartilage, which has ...

Direct Visualisation of the Depth-Dependent Mechanical Properties of Full-Thickness Articular Cartilage. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...
