Synthesis and characterization of cationic contrast agents & imaging of articular cartilage using X-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance
… function. OA progressively breaks down hyaline cartilage, the hydrated tissue that provides a smooth, nearly frictionless surface and distributes loads applied to articulating joint surfaces. The loss of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from the extracellular matrix of cartilage is an early marker of …

Developing osteoarthritis treatments through cartilage tissue engineering and molecular imaging
… caused by the progressive deterioration of cartilage in joints. An inherent goal in developing cartilage-replacement treatments is ensuring that tissue-engineered constructs possess the same properties as native cartilage tissue. Biochemical assays and imaging techniques can be used to study …

The Mechanism of Action of Hyaluronan Therapy as a Treatment for Osteoarthritis and the Assessment of Osteoarthritic Articular Cartilage Using Ultrasound
… early and to treat effectively. Existing imaging techniques often only detect osteoarthritic damage after substantial structural loss has occurred. This thesis investigates two key aspects of OA management: (1) how hyaluronan (HA) therapy interacts with articular cartilage at the molecular …
