A preliminary study of the effects of glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate on surgically treated and untreated focal cartilage damage [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2011 The effects of Glucosamine Sulphate (GS) and Chondroitin Sulphate (CS) on the healing of damaged and repaired articular cartilage were investigated. This study was conducted using 18 New Zealand white rabbits as experimental models.

Matrix stiffness in osteoarthritis: from mechanism introduction to biomaterial-based therapies
Frontiers in EndocrinologyOsteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent joint disorder associated with aging, is characterized by impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and the degradation of articular cartilage.

Liposomal Delivery of L‐2‐Hydroxyglutarate for Targeting Epigenetic Dysregulation in Osteoarthritis
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Osteoarthritis involves cartilage degeneration, inflammation, and epigenetic dysregulation. A liposomal formulation of the TET1 inhibitor L‐2‐hydroxyglutarate to overcome rapid joint clearance was developed. The formulation showed good physicochemical properties, reduced inflammatory and catabolic gene expression in chondrocytes, and alleviated ...

ELR+ CXC chemokine signalling in cartilage homeostasis.
, 2011 PhDThe production of ELR+ CXC chemokines is widely studied in arthritis and has been postulated to contribute to the inflammatory phenomena that eventually lead to cartilage breakdown.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Viscoelastic response of cells and the role of actin cytoskeletal remodelling.
, 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 ...

Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widely distributed heron species whose cardiovascular morphology remains poorly described. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac morphology and morphometry of adult A. alba. Ten specimens were analyzed using radiographic, morphometric, histological, scanning electron microscopy, and three‐dimensional ...
