16. Finite Element Simulations of Biphasic Articular Cartilages With Localized Metal Implants
Abstract : Articular cartilage is a specialized connective soft tissue that resides onthe ends of long-bones, transfers the load smoothly between the bones in diarthrodialjoints by providing almost frictionless, wear resistant sliding surfacesduring joint articulation. Focal chondral or osteochondral defects in articularcartilage are common and show limited capacity for biological repair. READ MORE

17. Cartilage Tissue Engineering. A study on how to improve cartilage repair
Abstract : One of the first examples of musculoskeletal tissue engineering is autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI).The first patient with a cartilage lesion was operated with ACI in 1987 and at that time suspension implantation was used. READ MORE

18. Expression and localization of extracellular matrix proteins in rat skeletal development
Abstract : Several novel matrix molecules of cartilage and bone have recently been identified and characterized. Studies of the maturation of the femoral head give clues as to the function of the novel matrix proteins. READ MORE

19. Production of neocartilage tissues using primary chondrocytes
Abstract : Hyaline cartilage is a highly specialized tissue, which plays an important role in the articulating joints of an individual. It provides the joints with a nearly frictionless, impact resisting surface to protect the ends of the articulating bones. READ MORE

20. Studies on chondrocyte integrins and mechanical signaling
Abstract : Integrins are a family of cell surface receptors known to bind matrix proteins and to mediate signals such as mechanical signals between the cell and the surrounding matrix. We have studied integrins that are expressed by chondrocytes, with specific focus on the integrins that interact with the cartilage matrix protein collagen type II. READ MORE
