Development of an experimental set-up for material characterization of articular cartilage
نویسنده
چکیده
Articular cartilage is a very complex composite material, overlaying diarthrodial joints surfaces (e.g. knee, shoulder, temporomandibular, etc.), holding load bearing, lubrication and shock absorbing capabilities [1]. Characterization of articular cartilage material properties is necessary to study its mechanical response and consequently its impact on joints biomechanics [2]. Furthermore, the determination of articular cartilage material properties will contribute to advancements in tissue engineering applications, aiming to restore the tissue functionality after damage.

Experimental Study on Protective Role of NSAID on Articular Cartilage Destruction in Septic Arthritis
Background: Surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy are the cornerstones of treatment protocols in septic arthritis; however, in some circumstances, the diagnosis and initiation of treatment may be retarded by slow disease progression or the time when the patient’s condition precludes early surgery. Therefore, it is beneficial to find ways to reduce the amount of articular injury. This study a...

Objective (s): The scarcity of articular cartilage defect to repair due to absence of blood vessels and tissue engineering is one of the promising approaches for cartilage regeneration. The objective of this study was to prepare an extracellular matrix derived decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffold and investigate its interactions with seeded rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (...

Background: The destruction of articular cartilage is the major cause of articular problems. The articular cartilage has little repair postertial due to lack of perichondrium and direct blood circulation. It is, therefore important to consider this phenomena in surgical treatments. One of the articular cartilage reconstructive surgeries is using Osteo-Chondral graft. The main purpose of this re...
