Platelet-rich plasma attenuates the severity of joint capsule fibrosis following post-traumatic joint contracture in rats [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Background: Post-traumatic joint contracture (PTJC) mainly manifests as excessive inflammation leading to joint capsule fibrosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, a key regulator of inflammation and fibrosis, can promote fibroblast activation ...

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor mediates joint capsule fibrosis via facilitating phospholipid metabolite PGE2 production in fibroblasts [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life SciencesBackground Joint capsule persistent inflammation and subsequent fibrosis lead to post-traumatic joint contracture (PTJC). Fibroblasts, as a bridge between inflammation and fibrosis, participate in regulating the pathological microenvironment after injury.

In vivo movement interrelationships among the medial meniscus, joint capsule, and semimembranosus during tibial rotation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe meniscal position within the knee is critical to maintain normal knee function. The joint capsule might dynamically coordinate the medial meniscus (MM) by transmitting a semimembranosus action.

Posterior Glenohumeral Joint Capsule Contracture [PDF]
Shoulder and Elbow, 2012 Glenohumeral joint posterior capsule contracture may cause shoulder pain by altering normal joint mechanics. Contracture is commonly noted in throwing athletes but can also be present in nonthrowers. The cause of contracture in throwing athletes is assumed to be a response to the high amount of repetitive tensile force placed on the tissue, whereas the
