A Preliminary Study of Human Amniotic Membrane as a Potential Chondrocyte Carrier [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2009 PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of using processed human amniotic membrane (HAM) to support the attachment and proliferation of chondrocytes in vitro which in turn can be utilised as a cell delivery vehicle in tissue engineering applications.

Mechanisms of chondrocyte apoptosis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 1999 This study addresses the occurrence and significance of chondrocyte apoptosis in the pathogenesis of cartilage destruction. Chondrocyte apoptosis can be inducedin vitroby nitric oxide donors, but not by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1 or TNF.

The hypertrophic chondrocyte: To be or not to be.
Histology and histopathology, 2021 Hypertrophic chondrocytes are the master regulators of endochondral ossification; however, their ultimate cell fates cells remain largely elusive due to their transient nature. Historically, hypertrophic chondrocytes have been considered as the terminal state of growth plate chondrocytes, which are destined to meet their inevitable demise at the ...

Viscoelastic response of cells and the role of actin cytoskeletal remodelling. [PDF]
, 2012 PhDThe mechanical properties of living cells provide useful information on cellular structure and function. In the present study a micropipette aspiration technique was developed to investigate the viscoelastic parameters of isolated articular ...

The emerging chondrocyte channelome [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2010 Chondrocytes are the resident cells of articular cartilage and are responsible for synthesizing a range of collagenous and non-collagenous extracellular matrix macromolecules. Whilst chondrocytes exist at low densities in the tissue (1-10% of the total tissue volume in mature cartilage) they are extremely active cells and are capable of responding to a

The Incidence and Clinical Relevance of Graft Hypertrophy After Matrix-Based Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Graft hypertrophy is the most common complication of periosteal autologous chondrocyte implantation (p-ACI). Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the development, the incidence rate, and the persistence of graft ...

Expression patterns of chondrocyte genes cloned by differential display in tibial dyschondroplasia [PDF]
, 2000 Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) appears to involve a failure of the growth plate chondrocytes within growing long bones to differentiate fully to the hypertrophic stage, resulting in a mass of prehypertrophic chondrocytes which form the avascular TD lesion.

ADAM15 modulates outside-in signalling in chondrocyte–matrix interactions [PDF]
, 2008 ADAM15 belongs to a family of transmembrane multi-domain proteins implicated in proteolysis, cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions in various disease conditions.

Depletion of chondrocyte primary cilia reduces the compressive modulus of articular cartilage [PDF]
, 2014 Primary cilia are slender, microtubule based structures found in the majority of cell types with one cilium per cell. In articular cartilage, primary cilia are required for chondrocyte mechanotransduction and the development of healthy tissue.
