The Unexplored Role of Intra-articular Adipose Tissue in the Homeostasis and Pathology of Articular Joints
Intra-articular adipose tissue deposits known as articular fat pads (AFPs) are described to exist within synovial joints. Their assumed role in normal joint biomechanics is increasingly objectivized by means of advanced methods of functional imaging. AFPs possess structural similarity with body subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT), however, seems to be regulated by independent metabolic loop...
متن کاملFormation of synovial joints and articular cartilage.
Chondrocytes differentiate from mesenchymal progenitors and produce templates(anlagen) for the developing bones. Chondrocyte differentiation is controlled by Sox transcription factors. Templates for the neighbour bones are subsequently separated by conversion of differentiated chondrocytes into non-chondrogenic cells and emergence of interzone in which joints cavitation occurs. A central role i...

متن کاملRepair of defects in articular joints. Prospects for material-based solutions in tissue engineering.
©2004 British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery doi:10.1302/0301-620X.86B8. 15609 $2.00 J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 2004;86-B:1093-9. Each year, more than one million procedures to treat defects of articular cartilage are performed in the knee alone.1 While removal of loose bodies and the chondroplastic procedures of debridement and shaving account for approximately half of these, the rema...
متن کاملResponsiveness of articular cartilage from normal and inflamed mouse knee joints to various growth factors.
OBJECTIVE Disturbed anabolic signalling might contribute to the decreased chondrocyte proteoglycan (PG) synthesis during joint inflammation. Articular cartilage obtained from mouse knee joints with experimentally-induced arthritis exhibits a state of nonresponsiveness towards stimulation of chondrocyte PG synthesis by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Investigations were carried out on the ...
