Articular cartilage is a dense connective tissue composed mainly of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix (ECM). Articular cartilage has a poor ability to heal itself due to lack of blood supply [13]. The cellular component of cartilage tissue consists of immature cells and mature cells. Immature ...
cartilageconsists of collagen (type II) fibers, a small number ofelastic fibers, and an amorphousground substance. The ground substance consists primarily ofproteoglycansandglycoproteins. Each of these components of thecartilage matrixcontributes to the strength, longevity, and resilience of this tissue....
As is often the case, engineered cartilage consists of cells elaborating a matrix into a nonnative environment, such as a scaffold, hydrogel, or high-density culture. The different phys- icochemical properties, initial lack of cell-matrix interactions, and altered cell morphology may cause cells ...
Cartilage is a tough but flexible tissue that is the main type of connective tissue in the body. Around 65–80% of cartilage is water, although that decreases in older people, and the rest is a gel-like substance called the ‘matrix’ that gives it its form and function. The matrix is...
Histologically, the tumor consists of cells with large, round, centrally located nuclei, and distinct cell membranes. The cytoplasm ranges from clear to pale pink. Areas of conventional chondrosarcoma with hyaline cartilage are usually present. Osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells are common. The...
What is the epiglottic vallecula? The epiglottic vallecula consists ofa small mucosa-lined depression(vallecula) located at the base of the tongue just between the folds of the throat on either side of the median glossoepiglottic fold. It is usually not seen by the naked eye as it is...
Cartilage, one of the simplest tissues in the body, consists of only one cell type. It is not vascularised and innervated and does not have lymphatic vessels either, which makes it a perfect target tissue for successful implantation. The tremendous amount of work si...
Helps to reduce the growth and spread of harmful cells in the body. Scientifically Proven Benefits of SCP 1. Joint Health – Reduces Joint Inflammation and Pain Study 1: SCP, which consists of both chondroitin sulphate and protein components improves symptoms of arthritis such as joint pain, sti...
The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the limbs and limb girdles. There are fundamental differences in organization and developmental control between the axial and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms a protective casing around soft internal tissues (e.g., the brain, spina...
It consists mostly of an avascular, aneural and alymphatic matrix which is synthesized by the sparsely distributed resident cells – the chondrocytes1. The extracellular matrix is extensively composed of collagens (mainly type II collagen) and proteoglycans (mainly aggrecans) that are responsible for...
