Newly identified intervertebral fat pad degenerates after intervertebral disc injury in a rat model of degeneration

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study characterizes a newly‐described intervertebral fat pad (IVFP) anterior to rat IVDs, with evidence for its existence in mice and human IVDs as well. In rats, the IVFP gradually degenerated following IVD injury with changes in adipocyte size and fibrous tissue infiltration, suggesting it could play a functional role in IVD health and ...

Optimisation of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential using clonal mesenchymal stem cell populations derived from synovial fat pad [PDF]

, 2011
Mesenchymal stem cells are a potential source of cells for the repair of bone and articular cartilage defects. We have previously demonstrated that the infrapatellar synovial fat pad is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells and these cells are able to ...

Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds [PDF]

, 2014
The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles.

Chemical composition of the infrapatellar fat pad of swine [PDF]

Journal of Anatomy, 2004
AbstractThe porcine infrapatellar fat pad is a structure composed of adipocytes and adipose connective tissues. Limited information is available concerning its chemical composition. Samples of the fat pad collected from young hogs were dissected into two portions: a relatively hard core of the pad with cushioning properties (inner tissue), and a soft ...

Multi‐Omics Reveal the Dysregulated Gut‐Joint Axis in Knee Synovitis: Data from Two Osteoarthritis Studies in China

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
The “gut‐joint axis” in knee synovitis is uncovered. Integrated multi‐omics studies are conducted in two independent osteoarthritis cohorts. Synovitis is characterized an increased F/B ratio, as well as alterations of 3‐HIA, geranic acid, and TWEAK. Upregulated TWEAK receptor is found in high‐grade synovitis, and inversely correlated with lower TWEAK ...

Phenotypic and functional properties of dedifferentiated fat cells derived from infrapatellar fat pad

Regenerative Therapy, 2022
Introduction: Mature adipocyte-derived dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) are mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like cells with high proliferative ability and multilineage differentiation potential.

Fast 3D UTE in vivo T1 and T2*$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2^{\ast } $$ mapping of fast relaxing knee tissues at 3 T

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 693-705, February 2026.
Abstract Purpose UTE MR imaging captures quantitative signals in fast‐relaxing tissues, enabling anatomical visualization and quantitative assessment of T1 and T2*$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2^{\ast } $$ relaxation times. However, the clinical application of quantitative UTE MRI is limited by long acquisition times.

Infrapatellar fat pad area on knee MRI: does it correlate with the extent of knee osteoarthritis?

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2021
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint is a common cause of chronic disability in older adults. During the past 10 years, the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) has emerged as a new player in the pathogenesis of knee OA.

Radiographic assessment of popliteal sesamoid position and cranial tibial subluxation in canine stifle joints undergoing TPLO: A retrospective study of 163 dogs

Veterinary Surgery, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 317-326, February 2026.
Abstract Objective To determine the prevalence of popliteal sesamoid displacement (PSD) in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD) on radiographs, assess its reduction following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO), and evaluate cranial tibial subluxation (CTS) pre‐ and postoperatively.
