Assessment of hyaline cartilage matrix composition using near infrared spectroscopy.

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2014
Changes in the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are characteristic of injury or disease in cartilage tissue. Various imaging modalities and biochemical techniques have been used to assess the changes in cartilage tissue but lack adequate ...

Physical activity and joint health: Implications for knee osteoarthritis disease pathophysiology and mechanics

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knee osteoarthritis is experienced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of disability. Although enhancing physical activity levels and the participation in exercise programmes has been proved to improve the debilitating illness of osteoarthritis, many do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity.

Effects of mechanical vibrations on chondrocytes in monolayer culture for regenerative cartilage

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal
Cartilage regenerative medicine requires time and effort to regenerate thick hyaline cartilage. In this study, we investigated the effects of mechanical vibrations on chondrocyte proliferation and cartilage matrix production to simplify the regenerative ...

Anatomical and functional mapping of vagal nociceptive sensory nerve subsets innervating the mouse lower airways by intersectional genetics

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We used an intersectional approach with recombinase‐expressing mice and adeno‐associated virus to map and modulate distinct nociceptive afferents in the vagal ganglia. TRPV1+P2X2+ neurons resided in the nodose ganglion (N), innervated the lungs (many projected into the alveoli) but not the trachea, and projected to the nucleus ...

Equine experimental lameness induction models

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 270-284, May 2026.
Summary Equine lameness due to musculoskeletal injury remains a common and significant cause of decreased performance. While our understanding and management of lameness have improved with advanced imaging, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic progression, a need for experimental equine models of lameness remains.

Arthroscopic Knee Cartilage Repair With Covered Microfracture and Bone Marrow Concentrate

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2012
In recent years several single-stage cartilage repair approaches have been devised to treat focal cartilage lesions. These usually associate microfracture (MFX) and a coverage scaffold.

Expression of MMP-13 in Human Temporomandibular Joint Disc Derangement and Osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: MMP-13 performs digestion of collagen, which is a primary component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular disc. This study evaluated the expression of MMP-13 in patients with anterior disc displacement with (ADDwR) and without ...

Fatal Hemorrhagic Septicemia in Common Guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos) Caused by Photobacterium damselae Subsp. damselae in a Controlled Environment

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are commonly housed in public aquariums due to their ecological significance and educational value. The common guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos), currently listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ by the IUCN, is particularly susceptible to population declines due to overfishing and bycatch.

Bone growth following demineralized bone matrix implantation requires angiogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Angiogenesis is required for endochondral ossification during development and fracture healing; however the exact mechanisms and temporal relationship between the two processes remains unclear.
