Lubricin is an essential boundary lubricant, and many studies have focused on synergistic lubrication regarding its role in cartilage lubrication. Israelachvili et al. found that lubricin prevented ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of tissue, a soft and flexible ‘fatty cartilage’ that could revolutionize the treatment of traumatic injuries, birth defects, and cartilage-damaging ...

OBJECTIVES Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are thought to be major mediators of cartilage destruction. Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterised by cartilage degradation. This study explores gene ...

Advances in spatial ‘-omics’, such as transcriptomics and proteomics, have provided vital insights into cartilage microenvironments, revealing cellular diversity, zonal organization and links ...

grade 0=normal cartilage; grade 1=focal blistering and intracartilaginous low-signal intensity area with an intact surface; grade 2=irregularities on the surface or bottom and loss of thickness <50%; ...

Our joints heavily rely on cartilage, as it acts as a shield and aids our bones. As aging occurs, there’s the possibility of this cartilage deteriorating or sustaining damage, frequently leading ...

Cartilage development is the formation of cartilage by specialised cells called chondrocytes. These secrete large amounts of the cartilage extracellular matrix, which contains collagen and ...

deep ulceration with loss of thickness of more than 50% Grade 4: full-thickness cartilage wear with exposure of subchondral bone. Cartilage quality was assessed using the validated non-invasive MRI ...

Baseline cartilage damage, higher Kellgren-Lawrence grade, greater pain during walking, higher lateral ground reaction force impulse, greater time spent lying and lower vertical ground reaction force ...

They evaluate the bones and joint spaces as well as cartilage wear or fractures with imaging and ultrasounds that can be done right in the office. If needed, you will be referred for a CT or MRI.

If you own an Android phone and are looking for the best Wear OS watch to pair with it, you now have plenty of options. Wear OS has never been stronger, and now feels like a proper platform ...
