Chondrocyte Differentiation

1995
Data obtained while investigating growth plate chondrocyte differentiation during endochondral bone formation both in vivo and in vitro indicate that initial chondrogenesis depends on positional signaling mediated by selected homeobox-containing genes and soluble mediators.

A biography of the chondrocyte

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2008
Significant gaps persist in our understanding of chondrocyte biology. We do not know when, how, or even whether these cells are replenished throughout the normal, human life span. We are taught that as much as 90% of the cartilage is "metabolically inert" interterritorial matrix, but we do not know how this substance is regularly replaced (as it is ...

In situ chondrocyte viscoelasticity

Journal of Biomechanics, 2012
It has been proposed, based on theoretical considerations, that the strain rate-dependent viscoelastic response of cartilage reduces local tissue and cell deformations during cyclic compressions. However, experimental studies have not addressed the in situ viscoelastic response of chondrocytes under static and dynamic loading conditions. In particular,

Prevention of Chondrocyte Apoptosis

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2001
The occurrence of chondrocyte apoptosis may be cri­tical in determining the extent of a lesion and sub­sequent repair after mechanical injury to articular cartilage. Agents that prevent apoptosis and increase chondrocyte survival may prove beneficial in the treatment of these ­lesions.

Tissue Engineering with Chondrocytes

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2002
Tissue engineering of cartilage, using chondrocytes based on the use of synthetic biodegradable polymer cell delivery vehicles (scaffolds), is an alternate treatment modality for replacing missing cartilage. Cartilage tissue engineering has an important role to play in the generation of graft material for head and neck reconstruction. It is an approach

Autologous chondrocyte implantation compared with microfracture in the knee. A randomized trial.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2004
BACKGROUND New methods have been used, with promising results, to treat full-thickness cartilage defects. The objective of the present study was to compare autologous chondrocyte implantation with microfracture in a randomized trial.

Phenotype of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis

Biorheology, 2008
Articular cartilage is composed by a unique cell population, the chondrocytes, embedded in an abundant extra-cellular matrix (ECM). Growth, differentiation and homeostasis of the cartilage are regulated by an intricate interplay between the chondrocytes and ECM, which allows the matrix to send signals to the chondrocytes and the chondrocytes to sense ...

Mitochondrial granules in chondrocytes

Calcified Tissue Research, 1969
Rat and mice epiphyseal growth plates were studied with the electron microscope. A gradient of mitochondrial electron-dense granules was found. Chondrocytes in the proliferative zone had few granules, while those of the succeeding zones showed a gradual increase in number and density until the zone of provisional calcification was reached.

Tetrahedral DNA Nanostructure: A Potential Promoter for Cartilage Tissue Regeneration via Regulating Chondrocyte Phenotype and Proliferation.

Small, 2017
Utilizing biomaterials to regulate the phenotype and proliferation of chondrocytes is a promising approach for effective cartilage tissue regeneration.

LncRNA PVT1 Regulates Chondrocyte Apoptosis in Osteoarthritis by Acting as a Sponge for miR-488-3p.

DNA and Cell Biology, 2017
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been known to be involved in multiple diverse diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). The present study aims at exploring the biological role of lncRNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) in OA and the ...
