An Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Strain‐Controlled, Tissue‐Specific Compression of Cartilage and Mineralized Osteochondral Interface to Study Mechanical Overloading in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...

Molten‐Salt‐Mediated Synthesis of Atomic Manganese/Cobalt Catalysts on Bioceramic Microparticles for Catalytic Anti‐Osteoarthritis Treatments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Microparticle‐based antioxidants capable of scavenging multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been developed. When retained within the articular cavity of osteoarthritic mice, Mn‐ or Co‐AKT‐MPs protect the inherent homeostasis between cartilage anabolism and catabolism, and inhibit synovial inflammation.
