Tissue-engineered cartilage with inducible and tunable immunomodulatory properties

TL;DR: Functional engineered cartilage with immunomodulatory properties that allow chondrogenesis in the presence of pathologic levels of IL-1 by inducing overexpression ofIL-1 receptor antagonist in MSCs via scaffold-mediated lentiviral gene delivery are developed.

The Effect of Sustained Compression on Oxygen Metabolic Transport in the Intervertebral Disc Decreases with Degenerative Changes

TL;DR: Results indicate that external loads influence the oxygen and lactate regional distributions within the disc when large volume changes modify diffusion distances and diffusivities, and suggest that healthy disc properties have a positive effect of loading on metabolic transport.

Inverse analysis of constitutive models: biological soft tissues.

TL;DR: Though the optimization procedure is illustrated here for unconfined compression only, it can be adapted easily to other experimental configurations such as confined compression, indentation and tensile test, and can be applied in other areas of biomechanics where material parameters need to be extracted from experimental data.

Influence of stress rate on water loss, matrix deformation and chondrocyte viability in impacted articular cartilage

TL;DR: The mechano-biological response of articular cartilage depended on magnitude and rate of impact loading, and the significance of the inhomogeneous structure and composition of the cartilage matrix was accentuated when explants impacting on the deep zone had less water loss and matrix deformation, higher DIM, and no cell death compared to explants impacted on the articular surface.

Elastic anisotropy of articular cartilage is associated with the microstructures of collagen fibers and chondrocytes

TL;DR: The analysis suggests that the combination of proteoglycan matrix, fiber orientation, and shape of chondrocytes are intimately related and are likely adapted to optimize the mechanical stability and load carrying capacity of the structure.
