Liposomic lubricants suppress shear-stress induced inflammatory gene regulation in the joint in vivo [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread, debilitating joint disease associated with articular cartilage degradation. It is driven via mechano-inflammatory catabolic pathways, presumed up-regulated due to increased shear stress on the cartilage-embedded chondrocytes, that lead to tissue degeneration.

Treatment of failed articular cartilage reconstructive procedures of the knee: A systematic review [PDF]
Background: Symptomatic articular cartilage lesions of the knee are common and are being treated surgically with increasing frequency. While many studies have reported outcomes following a variety of cartilage restoration procedures, few have ...

Objective Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) accounts for nearly 12% of osteoarthritis incidences and often occurs after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Ensuring the uptake of preventive treatments for PTOA requires that investigators and clinicians understand factors influencing patients to seek preventive therapies.

Autologous chondrocyte implantation in the knee: systematic review and economic evaluation.
BACKGROUND The surfaces of the bones in the knee are covered with articular cartilage, a rubber-like substance that is very smooth, allowing frictionless movement in the joint and acting as a shock absorber.

Osteochondrosis lesions of the lateral trochlear ridge of the distal femur in four ponies [PDF]
Lesions of the lateral trochlear ridge (LTR) of the distal femur were investigated in four pony or pony cross horses. The animals were all geldings and were six to 15 months of age.

Preconditioning of mesenchymal stromal cells with low-intensity ultrasound: influence on chondrogenesis and directed SOX9 signaling pathways [PDF]
Background: Continuous low-intensity ultrasound (cLIUS) facilitates the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the absence of exogenously added transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) by upregulating the expression of ...
