Recapitulating Endochondral Ossification for Bone Repair: From Development to Engineering Strategy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the developmental basis of endochondral ossification (ECO) and its applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). It first outlines the key biological processes and signaling pathways underlying ECO, then discusses biomaterial‐based engineering strategies derived from these principles, and finally highlights future directions for

Assessing the micromechanical architecture of joint tissues with speckle rheological microscopy

Nature Communications
Joint tissues rely on a finely tuned interplay between solid (elastic) and fluid (viscous) constituents to support their mechanical function. Degradation of these constituents due to disease or trauma disrupts the elastic and viscous susceptibility of ...

Review paper Total ankle replacement – surgical treatment and rehabilitation

Rheumatology, 2015
Functions of the ankle joint are closely connected with the gait and ability to maintain an upright position. Degenerative lesions of the joint directly contribute to postural disorders and greatly restrict propulsion of the foot, thus leading to ...

Enhanced Infection Resistance and Regenerative Healing of Titanium Implants via Peptide‐Loaded Biodegradable Coatings

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...

Relationship of orthopedic examination, goniometric measurements, and radiographic signs of degenerative joint disease in cats

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background Available information suggests a mismatch between radiographic and orthopedic examination findings in cats with DJD. However, the extent of the discrepancy between clinical and radiographic signs of OA in companion animals has not been ...

Dietary fiber intake and rheumatoid arthritis among U.S. adults: Evidence from a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES with inflammatory markers as mediators

Experimental Gerontology
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in which diet may play a role. Dietary fiber has been suggested to reduce systemic inflammation, yet evidence on its relationship with RA remains limited. We examined whether dietary

Piezo2 Mediates a Vicious Cycle of “Mechanical Homeostasis Imbalance—Inflammation” in Sensory Nerves and the Cartilage Endplate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In a lumbar spine instability model, dorsal root ganglion cells mediate the perception of relevant mechanical stresses through Piezo2 and subsequently release CGRP. CGRP activates the NF‐κB signaling pathway in cartilage endplate cells through the receptor RAMP1.

Differential patterns of PMN-elastase and type III procollagen peptide in knee joint effusions due to acute and chronic sports injuries [PDF]

, 1991
In 38 traumatic knee joint effusions the proteolytic enzyme PMN-elastase (PMN-E) and the repair marker procollagen III aminoterminal peptide (PIIINP) were determined.
