Abstract:
Normal cartilage function is dependent upon the unique structural properties of the extensive extracellular matrix (ECM). In final assembled form, the ECM of hyaline cartilage is composed of abundant amounts of proteoglycan (PG) and type II collagen. Additional collagens and glycoproteins may be important structural components as well. Through their concentration of negative charges, PGs confer upon the cartilage ECM the ability to retain high levels of hydration and thereby resist compression. Type II collagen fibers contribute to the tensile strength of cartilage.In the cartilage ECM, PG mon

Cartilage lacks the ability to self-repair when damaged, which can lead to the development of degenerative joint disease. Despite intensive research in the field of cartilage tissue engineering, there is still no regenerative treatment that consistently promotes the development of hyaline cartilage. Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived hydrogels have shown to support cell adhesion, growth and differentiation [1,2]. In this study, porcine articular cartilage was decellularized, solubilised and subsequently modified into a photo-crosslinkable methacrylated cartilage ECM hydrogel. Bone marrow deriv

Abstract:
Perlecan is a critical proteoglycan found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage. In healthy cartilage, perlecan regulates cartilage biomechanics and we previously demonstrated perlecan deficiency leads to reduced cellular and ECM stiffness in vivo. This change in mechanics may lead to the early onset osteoarthritis seen in disorders resulting from perlecan knockdown such as Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS). To identify how perlecan knockdown affects the material properties of developing cartilage, we used imaging and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to study the

Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed primarily of the network type II collagen (COLII) and an interlocking mesh of fibrous proteins and proteoglycans (PGs), hyaluronic acid (HA), and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Articular cartilage ECM plays a crucial role in regulating chondrocyte metabolism and functions, such as organized cytoskeleton through integrin-mediated signaling via cell-matrix interaction. Cell signaling through integrins regulates several chondrocyte functions, including differentiation, metabolism, matrix remodeling, responses to mechanical stimulation, and cell survival

AbstractRNA delivery into deep tissues with dense extracellular matrix (ECM) has been challenging. For example, cartilage is a major barrier for RNA and drug delivery due to its avascular structure, low cell density and strong negative surface charge. Cartilage ECM is comprised of collagens, proteoglycans, and various other noncollagneous proteins with a spacing of 20nm. Conventional nanoparticles are usually spherical with a diameter larger than 50-60nm (after cargo loading). Therefore, they presented limited success for RNA delivery into cartilage.

Glomerular filtration is a vital physiological process removing waste products from the circulation and this process occurs across the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). The cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), which form this barrier, are exposed to forces during ultrafiltration and special adaptation is required to withstand these forces. Dysfunction in cellular adhesion machinery or ECM assembly within the GFB causes loss of selective glomerular filtration, however, the mechanisms governing these processes are poorly understood.

Type X collagen is a member of the family of network-forming collagens, it contains a triple helical domain flanked by two non-collagenous (NC) domains, NC2 at the N-terminal and NCI at the C-terminal. It is expressed and synthesised by hypertrophic chondrocytes of the epiphyseal growth plates during the process of endochondral ossification (EO). This process involves replacement of a cartilaginous anlagen by bone, the coordination of chondrocyte proliferation, maturation and hypertrophy are followed by calcification of hypertrophic cartilage, vascular invasion and deposition of a bone matrix.

Abstract:
Abstract The biosynthetic activities of chondrocytes are regulated by the mechanical and electrochemical (MEC) environments around cells in the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as matrix deformation, stress/strain, fluid and osmotic pressures and electrical potential [e.g., 1–3]. These MEC parameters are the signals that chondrocytes sense and respond to under mechanical or chemical loading. Therefore, detailed quantification of these MEC signals is a key step toward the understanding the mechano-signal transduction mechanism in cartilage. Since microscopic measurements of MEC environments arou

Abstract:
Articular cartilage is the connective tissue that lines the articulating surfaces of diarthrodial joints, providing a low-friction, load-bearing surface during joint motion. Articular cartilage comprises of a single cell type, the chondrocyte, embedded within an extensive extracellular matrix (ECM). Each chondrocyte is surrounded by a narrow region called the pericellular matrix (PCM) that is distinct from the ECM in both its biochemical composition [1] and biomechanical properties [2]. While multiple techniques have been used to measure the mechanical properties of the PCM, including micropip

Abstract:
Articular cartilage degeneration is a central pathological feature of osteoarthritis. Cartilage in the adult does not regenerate in vivo and, as a result, cartilage damage in osteoarthritis is irreversible. With our ever-aging population, osteoarthritis has become a leading cause of disability and unfortunately, no optimal treatments for osteoarthritis are currently available. To address this problem, a research community is focused on the development of both natural and synthetic biodegradable tissue scaffolds. The scaffolds must contain depressions or holes for the purpose of chondrocyte see

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: For the sake of better apprehending the nexus between ferroptosis and chondrocytes in osteoarthritis (OA), proffering novel insights and opening-up new orientation for in-depth research in both pre-clinical and clinical settings, it is warranted to initiate one rigorous and robust systematic review (SR) based upon up-to-date in-vivo and in-vitro research advances on this topic. To the best our knowledge, no SRs concerning ferroptosis and chondrocytes in OA have been published thus far. Condition being studied: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthriti

Abstract:
Altering milk composition via transgenesis depends on three main factors. (1) The availability of an efficient regulatory sequences for targeting transgene(s) to the mammary gland; (2) a reliable in vitro model to test the expression of transgenes prior to their introduction to the animal genome; and (3) better understanding of the major factors which determine the rate of gene expression and protein synthesis. The current studies provide the necessary means and knowledge to alter milk protein composition via transgenesis. The following specific goals were achieved: a: Identifying regulatory r

Abstract:
Mechanical force regulates periodontal ligament cell (PDL) behavior. However, different force types lead to distinct PDL responses. Here, we report that pretreatment with an intermittent compressive force (ICF), but not a continuous compressive force (CCF), promoted human PDL (hPDL) osteogenic differentiation as determined by osteogenic marker gene expression and mineral deposition in vitro. ICF-induced osterix (OSX) expression was inhibited by cycloheximide and monensin. Although CCF and ICF significantly increased extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, pretreatment with exogenous
