Fibrochondrogenic differentiation potential of tendon-derived stem/progenitor cells from human patellar tendon

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2020
Background: Bone–tendon junction (BTJ) is a unique structure connecting tendon and bone through a fibrocartilage zone. Owing to its unique structure, the regeneration of BTJ remains a challenge.

Applied Compressive Strain Governs Hyaline-like Cartilage versus Fibrocartilage-like ECM Produced within Hydrogel Constructs

, 2023
The goal of cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) is to regenerate new hyaline cartilage in joints and treat osteoarthritis (OA) using cell-impregnated hydrogel constructs. However, the production of an extracellular matrix (ECM) made of fibrocartilage is a

INITIAL RESEARCH ON THE BIOMECHANICAL FEATURES OF THE TRIANGLE FIBROCARTILAGE IN HUMAN WRIST [PDF]

, 2007
Fibrocartilage in the wrist joint is a structure common to both distal radioulnar and wrist joint. It works to cache direct pressure between head of ulna and wrist bones and to disperse the load.

A Spheroid-Based In Vitro Model to Generate the Zonal Organisation of the Tendon-to-Bone Enthesis

Organoids
The tendon-to-bone enthesis is a multiphasic structure with four structurally continuous and compositionally distinct regions: tendon, uncalcified fibrocartilage, calcified fibrocartilage and bone.
