Mechanisms balancing skeletal matrix synthesis and degradation.
Bone is regulated by evolutionarily conserved signals that balance continuous differentiation of bone matrix-producing cells against apoptosis and matrix removal. This is continued from embryogenesis, where the skeleton differentiates as a solid mass and is shaped into separate bones by cell death and proteolysis. The two major tissues of the skeleton are avascular cartilage, with an extracellu...

متن کاملMatrix synthesis and degradation in human intervertebral disc degeneration.
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc has been implicated in chronic low back pain. Type II collagen and proteoglycan (predominantly aggrecan) content is crucial to proper disc function, particularly in the nucleus pulposus. In degeneration, synthesis of matrix molecules changes, leading to an increase in the synthesis of collagens type I and III and a decreased production of aggrecan. Linked...
متن کاملMechanisms of Chondrocyte Survival and Matrix Synthesis During Hypoxia
Growth-plate cartilage and articular cartilage are virtually avascular tissues. Thus, chondrocytes must exist in extreme microenvironmental conditions, most prominently characterized by low oxygen tension. Diffusion distances for oxygen and nutrients between arteries and single chondrocytes range from 50 m to 3mm. Therefore, chondrocytes need specific strategies to adapt to these hostile condit...
متن کاملBalancing Regular Matrix Pencils
In this paper we present a new diagonal balancing technique for regular matrix pencils λB − A, which aims at reducing the sensitivity of the corresponding generalized eigenvalues. It is inspired from the balancing technique of a square matrix A and has a comparable complexity. Upon convergence, the diagonally scaled pencil has row and column norms that are balanced in a precise sense. We also s...
