Outcome measurement in articular cartilage repair: exploring the patient perspective
… perspective of outcome measurement after articular cartilage repair (ACR) of the knee. The work represents the evolution and development of the author's coherent research programme in this field over a period of 8 years. In 2003 the author conducted a comparative analysis of rehabilitative …

Controlled growth factor delivery from biodegradable hydrogel scaffolds for articular cartilage repair
… hydrogels as carriers of growth factors for articular cartilage repair has been investigated. In vitro release studies examined release of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) directly from OPF hydrogels and also from gelatin microparticles encapsulated within these OPF networks. …

Bone Marrow-Derived Buffy Coat Can Supplement the Bone Marrow Stimulation Technique for Articular Cartilage Repair
… the Bone Marrow Stimulation Technique for Articular Cartilage Repair Bone marrow stimulation (BMS) has been used as a popular operating technique to repair defect of knee articular cartilage. However, the regenerated tissue from BMS is known as a fibrocartilage rather than a hyaline …

Use Of synthetic solid scaffolds to mechanically support a chondrocyte-seeded peptide hydrogel for articular cartilage repair
… (PTOA) is a subtype of OA associated with cartilage defects caused by traumatic joint injury. Because articular cartilage has a limited innate healing response, due to its avascular, aneural, and alymphatic nature, these defects lead to chronic degenerative joint disease if left untreated. …

A novel osteochondral composite consisting of a self-assembling peptide hydrogel and 3D printed polycaprolactone scaffold : potential for articular cartilage repair
… traumatic injuries are both prominent causes of cartilage defects. Due to its avascular nature, adult human cartilage displays limited capacity for regeneration. Current surgical treatments to induce a spontaneous repair response rely on access to the subchondral bone region. These procedures …

Chondrogenic capacities of equine synovial progenitor populations
… This disease involves compromised homeostasis of articular cartilage and eventual loss of this tissue in affected joints. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide promise for cell-based therapies for articular cartilage repair; however, MSCs from specific tissues exhibit source-based differences in …

Exploring Chondrocyte Integrin Regulation of Growth Factor IGF-I Expression from a Transient pAAV Vector
… both mitogenic and anabolic responses in articular chondrocytes. While it has been shown that exogenous IGF-I can regulate chondrocyte integrins, little is known regarding regulatory effects of IGF-I produced from a transiently expressed plasmid based adeno-associated virus (pAAV) vector. …
