Cartilage contains a matrix of collagen, meaning that it does not appear to have large areas of empty space under a microscope. By contrast, blood is composed of cells suspended within plasma. These cells may be far apart or close together based on the concentration of blood observed. Addition...
1. a substance, situation, or environment in which something has its origin, takes form, or is enclosed 2. (Anatomy) anatomy the thick tissue at the base of a nail from which a fingernail or toenail develops 3. (Biology) the intercellular substance of bone, cartilage, connective tissue, ...
Articular cartilage in the adult is considered a permanent tissue, meaning it has little-to-no turnover throughout adult life. This property differs from cartilage in other locations, such as growth plate cartilage. ERG expression persists only in the superficial cells of the articular cartilage af...
35 The name cricoid is derived from the Greek words krikos and eidos, meaning shaped like a ring, and it is frequently said to have a signet-ring shape. It is thicker and stronger than the thyroid cartilage and represents the only complete cartilaginous ring in the airway. For this reason...

The cartilage in the articular cartilage does not have the ability to regenerate, meaning that damage to the tissue cannot heal [31]. Meanwhile, traditional cartilage repair treatments do not achieve long-term function, rarely restoring the tissue to its original state, resulting in poor treatment...
has a more limited meaning and suggests that cells and tissue structures replace the damaged tissue, but that the tissue does not necessarily return to its original structure or function. The degree of damage to normalarticular cartilageis typically described by the dimensions of the lesion and its...
If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note. If such consent has not been obtained, personal details of patients included in any part of ...
(Fig. 8B), meaning that the shear strain played a prominent role in the observed cartilage deformation40. To confirm the effects of this expansion, a simple linear elastic finite element model of the setup showed that the maximumExywas twice that of the maximumExx(Supplementary Figure S2). ...
Many of the procedures for treating articular cartilage are done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can leave the hospital the same day. Since surgeons use different methods when treating articular cartilage lesions in the knee, the instructions patients need to follow after surgery depend on the...
