Cell sources for articular cartilage repair strategies: shifting from mono-cultures to co-cultures [PDF]
The repair of articular cartilage is challenging due to the sparse native cell population combined with the avascular and aneural nature of the tissue. In recent years cartilage tissue engineering has shown great promise.

Growth Plate Chondrocytes: Skeletal Development, Growth and Beyond
Growth plate chondrocytes play central roles in the proper development and growth of endochondral bones. Particularly, a population of chondrocytes in the resting zone expressing parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is now recognized as skeletal ...

An injectable, self-healing and MMP-inhibiting hyaluronic acid gel via iron coordination [PDF]
Regulating the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is a potential strategy for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy, although delivering this effect in a spatially and temporally localised fashion remains a challenge. Here, we report an injectable and self-healing hydrogel enabling factor-free MMP regulation and biomechanical competence in situ.

The potential for dietary factors to prevent or treat osteoarthritis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease for which there are no disease-modifying drugs. It is a leading cause of disability in the UK. Increasing age and obesity are both major risk factors for OA and the health and economic burden of this ...
