Characterization complex collagen fiber architecture in knee joint using high-resolution diffusion imaging.
(Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2020-01-21)PURPOSE:To evaluate the complex fiber orientations and 3D collagen fiber network of knee joint connective tissues, including ligaments, muscle, articular cartilage, and meniscus using high spatial and angular resolution ... -
Combined Gene Therapy and Functional Tissue Engineering for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis
(2016)The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is mediated in part by inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1 (IL-1), which promote degradation of articular cartilage and prevent human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) chondrogenesis. ... -
CXCL10 is Upregulated in Synovium and Cartilage following Articular Fracture.
(J Orthop Res, 2017-09-14)The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of the chemokine CXCL10 and its role in joint tissues following articular fracture. We hypothesized that CXCL10 is upregulated following articular fracture and ... -
Elucidating the Molecular Composition of Cartilage by Proteomics.
(J Proteome Res, 2016-02-05)Articular cartilage consists of chondrocytes and two major components, a collagen-rich framework and highly abundant proteoglycans. Most prior studies defining the zonal distribution of cartilage have extracted proteins ... -
How Teichoic Acids Could Support a Periplasm in Gram-Positive Bacteria, and Let Cell Division Cheat Turgor Pressure.
(Frontiers in microbiology, 2021-01)The cytoplasm of bacteria is maintained at a higher osmolality than the growth medium, which generates a turgor pressure. The cell membrane (CM) cannot support a large turgor, so there are two possibilities for transferring ... -
Meniscus-Derived Matrix Bioscaffolds: Effects of Concentration and Cross-Linking on Meniscus Cellular Responses and Tissue Repair.
(International journal of molecular sciences, 2019-12-19)Meniscal injuries, particularly in the avascular zone, have a low propensity for healing and are associated with the development of osteoarthritis. Current meniscal repair techniques are limited to specific tear types and ... -
Stem Cell-Based Strategies to Study, Prevent, and Treat Cartilage Injury and Osteoarthritis
(2012)<p> Articular cartilage is a smooth connective tissue that covers the ends of bones and protects joints from wear. Cartilage has a poor healing capacity, and the lack of treatment options motivates the development of tissue ... -
Synergy between Piezo1 and Piezo2 channels confers high-strain mechanosensitivity to articular cartilage.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014-11-25)Diarthrodial joints are essential for load bearing and locomotion. Physiologically, articular cartilage sustains millions of cycles of mechanical loading. Chondrocytes, the cells in cartilage, regulate their metabolic activities ... -
The Role of Collagen VI in the Structure and Properties of the Knee Joint
(2009)Knee pain is a common complaint among older Americans, nearly half of whom have developed or will develop painful osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is primarily a disease of articular cartilage, the low-friction, shock-absorbing ...
