    Author : Krisztina Rosenberg; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

    Abstract : Connective tissues contain a prominent extracellular matrix that provides mechanical and physical properties. This extracellular matrix contains as a major constituent a network of collagen fibres. These are composed of collagen fibrils, which in turn are assembled from many collagen molecules aligned parallel to each other. Several proteins, e. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of the microenvironment in growth plate and articular chondrocyte differentiation

    Author : Zelong Dou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : One crucial process during skeletal development is joint formation. It starts with the interzone appearance characterized by high expression of Gdf5, Gli3, Wnt4 and Wnt9a, low expression of Col2a1 of the local compact elongated cells which subsequently give rise to most joint elements including articular cartilage as the ongoing joint cavitation.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The course of primary osteoarthrosis (OA) in Hartley guinea pigs, which spontaneously develop OA in their knee joints, was studied by stereology (quantitative morphology). Between 6 and 12 months of age, structural changes similar to those of human OA developed, predominantly in the central (non-meniscus-covered) medial condyle, while the lateral condyle remained unaffected.
