Tensile properties of the mandibular condylar cartilage.
Mandibular condylar cartilage plays a crucial role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, which includes facilitating articulation with the temporomandibular joint disc and reducing loads on the underlying bone. The cartilage experiences considerable tensile forces due to direct compression and shear. However, only scarce information is available about its tensile properties. The present st...
متن کاملIdentification of the chondrogenic pathway in the mandibular condylar cartilage.
To identify genetic expression of mandibular condylar cartilage during natural growth and under mechanical strain as a result of mandibular advancement. One hundred and forty four 35 days old female Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed on 8 different experimental days. Total RNA was extracted for oligonucleotide microarray gene chips containing 15,923 transcripts. Sixteen genes representing the ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Altered Loading on Mandibular Condylar Cartilage
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to delineate the cellular, mechanical and morphometric effects of altered loading on the mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) and subchondral bone. We hypothesized that altered loading will induce differentiation of cells by accelerating the lineage progression of the MCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four-week-old male Dkk3 XCol2A1XCol10A1 mice were randomly d...
متن کاملParticipation of Runx2 in mandibular condylar cartilage development.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression pattern of Runx2 in mandibular condylar cartilage, a type of secondary cartilage. METHODS Mandibular condyle of ddY mice were fixed from embryonic day 14 (E14) through just after birth (equivalent to E19). Samples were cut into 4 micro m serial sections through the central area of the mandibular condyle at the sagittal plan...
متن کاملPhenotypic changes of rabbit mandibular condylar cartilage cells in culture.
The present study describes the behavior of mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) cells as a function of time in primary culture, since it is not yet clear whether these cells maintain their phenotype in culture. MCC cells from New Zealand white rabbits were seeded at high density and cultured in DMEM containing 50 micrograms/mL ascorbic acid and 10% fetal bovine serum. These cells appeared as a ...
