Autoreactivity to malondialdehyde-modifications in rheumatoid arthritis is linked to disease activity and synovial pathogenesis [PDF]
J Autoimmun. 2017 Nov; 84:29-45, 2017 Oxidation-associated malondialdehyde (MDA) modification of proteins can generate immunogenic neo-epitopes that are recognized by autoantibodies. In health, IgM antibodies to MDA-adducts are part of the natural antibody pool, while elevated levels of IgG anti-MDA are associated with inflammatory conditions.

Initial results of finger imaging using Photoacoustic Computed Tomography [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 19(6), 60501, 2014 We present a photoacoustic computed tomography investigation on a healthy human finger, to image blood vessels with a focus on vascularity across the interphalangeal joints. The cross-sectional images were acquired using an imager specifically developed for this purpose.

A hyperelastic oscillatory Couette system [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We report (semi-)analytical solutions of a problem involving a visco-hyperelastic solid material layer sandwiched between two fluid layers, in turn confined by two long planar walls that undergo oscillatory motion. The resulting system dynamics are rationalized, based on fluid viscosity and solid elasticity, via wave and boundary-layer theory.

Hierarchical excluded volume screening in solutions of bottlebrush polymers [PDF]
Soft Matter 2017, 2017 Polymer bottlebrushes provide intriguing features being relevant both in nature and in synthetic systems. While their presence in the articular cartilage optimizes synovial joint lubrication, bottlebrushes offer pathways for fascinating applications, such as within super- soft elastomers or for drug delivery.

Multi-lipid synergy in synovial lubrication: natural redundancy vs. natural selection [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The very low sliding friction of articular cartilage in the major synovial joints such as hips and knees is crucial for their well-being, and has been attributed to lubrication by phospholipid boundary layers. While single-component lipid layers have demonstrated efficient lubricity in model studies, in living joints there is a large number of ...

Vulnerability of geriatric patients to biomaterial associated infections: in vitro study of biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on orthopedic implants [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Fibronectin, a glycoprotein secreted by connective tissue cells is found in the human plasma as well as in the ECM. It is known to have an adhesive property and plays a role in cell-to-cell and cell-to-substratum adhesions. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA), fibronectin is locally synthesized by the synovial cells, and the synovial ...
