Towards understanding multiscale articular cartilage mechanics
… chondrocytes, the sole cell type in articular cartilage, is of high importance to developing and maintaining a healthy tissue state. Mechanical cues play a major role in the regulation of many cellular functions. The dominant mechanics experienced by chondrocytes are translated from physics …

In vivo Mechanical Metrics for the Quantitative Assessment of Cartilage Health
… OA is characterized by the degeneration of cartilage tissue, and presents clinically with joint pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. As such, it is a leading cause of disability in the United States. Current treatment options for OA focus on relieving pain (either pharmacologically …

Engineering Dynamic Granular Composites for the Repair of Cartilage Tissue
… composites were investigated for injectable cartilage tissue repair, dynamic tissue shape morphing, and 4D bioprinting, where features such as microgel micromechanical properties, volume ratios of spheroids and microgels, rate of microgel degradation, and overall spatial positioning of …

Dynamic Properties of Chondrocytes
Articular cartilage plays a crucial role in joint function by providing a smooth, load-bearing surface that facilitates movement and absorbs mechanical impact. Chondrocytes, the cells within cartilage, experience continuous mechanical loading in vivo and adapt their volume and shape accordingly, a …
