Summary: The current state of knowledge on the structure and function of the macromolecules of articular cartilage is summarized. This highly hydrated tissue is composed of relatively few cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. The matrix consists of a fibrillar meshwork composed of mainly cross-...
The composition for the treatment of articular cartilage injury of the present invention is characterized by that it is composed of cellular components separated, proliferated, and/or differentiated from the umbilical cord blood and their media, or of the above cellular components, their media, and ...
The mechanical behavior and biochemical composition of articular cartilage were studied in an experimental model of joint disuse, in which the canine knee was immobilized in a sling at 90° of flexion. Articular cartilage from the surface zone of the femur was tested in an isometric tensile test...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the changes in structure and composition of articular cartilage. However, it is not fully known, what is the depth-wise change in two major components of the cartilage solid matrix, i.e., collagen and proteoglycans (PGs), during OA progression. Further,...

Partial least squares regression analysis of FTIR-MS data provided accurate predictions for the tensile modulus (=0.79) and the breaking energy (=0.65). To conclude, the composition and structure of equine articular cartilage undergoes changes with depth that alter functional properties during ...
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for regenerating articular cartilage in an animal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a non-demineralized particulate articular cartilage having a distribution of particle sizes within the range of from about 60 microns to about 500 microns. ...
