Recurrent disc herniation following percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy preferentially occurs when Modic changes are present

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Objective To investigate the relationship between Modic changes (MCs) and recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH) and that between the herniated disc component and rLDH following percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD).

Similar properties of chondrocytes from osteoarthritis joints and mesenchymal stem cells from healthy donors for tissue engineering of articular cartilage. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Lesions of hyaline cartilage do not heal spontaneously, and represent a therapeutic challenge. In vitro engineering of articular cartilage using cells and biomaterials may prove to be the best solution.

Role of Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Regulating Chondrocytic Hypertrophy in Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In the past 3 decades, the cartilage repair potential of mesenchymal stromal cells, or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has been widely examined in animal studies. Unfortunately, the phenotype and physical properties of MSC-derived cartilage tissue are not

Anatomy, morphology and evolution of the patella in squamate lizards and tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) [PDF]

, 2016
The patella (kneecap) is the largest and best-known of the sesamoid bones, postulated to confer biomechanical advantages including increasing joint leverage and reinforcing the tendon against compression.

Histological evidence for a supraspinous ligament in sauropod dinosaurs [PDF]

, 2015
Supraspinous ossified rods have been reported in the sacra of some derived sauropod dinosaurs. Although different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin ofthis structure, histological evidence has never been provided to support or reject any

Fabrication of hyaline-like cartilage constructs using mesenchymal stem cell sheets

Scientific Reports, 2020
Cell and tissue engineering approaches for articular cartilage regeneration increasingly focus on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as allogeneic cell sources, based on availability and innate chondrogenic potential.

Hyaline cartilage next generation implants from adipose‐tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells: Comparative study on 3D‐printed polycaprolactone scaffold patterns

Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2019
We used additive manufacturing to fabricate 3D‐printed polycaprolactone scaffolds of different geometry topologies and porosities. We present a comparative analysis of hyaline cartilage development from adipose‐tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells ...
