Extended mechanical stimulations of cartilage for growth and repair
Extended mechanical stimulation of articular cartilage in an in vitro model explant system promotes growth and repair. An alternating day mechanical loading protocol consisting of dynamic sinusoidal compression results in long term extracelluar matrix macromolecule biosynthesis and increased …

Mechanical Simulation of Articular Cartilage Based on Experimental Results
Recently, a constituent based cartilage growth finite element model (CGFEM) was developed in order to predict articular cartilage (AC) biomechanical properties before and after growth. Previous research has noted limitations in the CGFEM such as model convergence with growth periods greater than 12 …

The Response of Condylar Cartilage Stimulated by a Small Defect in the Rat Mandible
… study investigated the response of the condylar cartilage subjected to a small bone defect as a local stimulus in the rat mandible, in order to clarify one of the mechanisms of condylar cartilage growth. Fourteen male Wistar albino rats weighing 200 to 260 gm were divided into two groups, with …

Mammalian limb morphology: the role of the crawl in determining marsupial limb integration, development, and evolution
… were cleared and stained to visualize bone and cartilage growth from three marsupials (Monodelphis domestica, Sminthopsis macroura, Trichosurus vulpecula) and one eutherian (M. musculus). A reflex scope was used to place four points on the stylopod, zeugopod, and autopod and these points were …

Predicting Articular Cartilage Constituent Material Properties Following In Vitro Growth Using a Proteoglycan-Collagen Mixture Model
… finite element model of a<a>rticular </a>cartilage. The true collagen fibril modulus , and the ground substance matrix shear modulus , were varied to obtain the best fit to experimental tension, confined compression, and unconfined compression data for native explants and explants cultured …

Cell and tissue engineering of articular cartilage via regulation and alignment of primary chondrocyte using manipulated transforming growth factors and ECM proteins. Effect of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-¿1, 2 and 3) on the biological regulation and wound repair of chondrocyte monolayers with and without presence of ECM proteins.
Articular cartilage is an avascular and flexible connective tissue found in joints. It produces a cushioning effect at the joints and provides low friction to protect the ends of the bones from wear and tear/damage. It has poor repair capacity and any injury can result pain and loss of mobility. …
