This study presents a 3D visualization technique for a minimal-invasive examination of the 3D architecture of the collagen fibres in the superficial zone of articular cartilage, and offers a new ...

For these reasons, this study adds a novel tissue-engineering scaffold to the cartilage biomaterial community: NaOH-treated PLGA. Clearly, such surface and chemical modifications of PLGA may ...

Water distribution of human osteoarthritic articular cartilage has been characterized using terahertz time domain spectroscopy. The evaluation of water content in cartilage tissue can be helpful to ...

Although reviews of osteoarthritis often contain a statement to the effect that it is not merely a disease of cartilage, the large amounts of time, money and brainpower that have been invested in ...
