In Vivo Formation of Stable Hyaline Cartilage by Naïve Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells with Modified Fibrin Microbeads [PDF]
Osteoarthritic and other types of articular cartilage defects never heal on their own. Medicinal and surgical approaches are often ineffective, and the supply of autologous chondrocytes for tissue engineering is very limited.

Stem Cells and Extrusion 3D Printing for Hyaline Cartilage Engineering [PDF]
Hyaline cartilage is deficient in self-healing properties. The early treatment of focal cartilage lesions is a public health challenge to prevent long-term degradation and the occurrence of osteoarthritis.

Is thickened hyaline cartilage on ultrasound a sign of osteoarthritis? A within-person, between-joint pilot study [PDF]
Objective To determine whether the presence of conventional radiography (CR)-detected osteophytes is associated with focal thickening of the hyaline cartilage by ultrasound (US) in the same area of the metacarpal head in a within-person, between-joint ...

Treatment of Knee Osteochondral Lesions Using a Novel Clot of Autologous Plasma Rich in Growth Factors Mixed with Healthy Hyaline Cartilage Chips and Intra-Articular Injection of PRGF [PDF]
Knee cartilage or osteochondral lesions are common and challenging injuries. To date, most symptomatic lesions warrant surgical treatment. We present two cases of patients with knee osteochondral defects treated with a one-step surgical procedure ...

Functional MRI for evaluation of hyaline cartilage extracelullar matrix, a physiopathological-based approach. [PDF]
MRI of articular cartilage (AC) integrity has potential to become a biomarker for osteoarthritis progression. Traditional MRI sequences evaluate AC morphology, allowing for the measurement of thickness and its change over time.
