The function of articular cartilage as an avascular tissue is mainly served by collagen type II
and proteoglycan molecules. Within this matrix homeostasis between production and …

It has not been shown how specific changes in composition and structure in the peri-and
extracellular matrix (PCM and ECM) of human articular cartilage modulate cell morphology …

Objective To assess the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for in vivo
arthroscopic monitoring of cartilage defects. Method Sharp and blunt cartilage grooves were …

Background Biomechanical changes in articular cartilage are associated with the onset of
osteoarthritis. We developed an optical coherence tomography-based strain rate …

OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the changes in structure and
composition of articular cartilage. However, it is not fully known, what is the depth-wise …

Objective Assessment of human joint cartilage is a crucial tool to detect and diagnose
pathological conditions. This exploratory study developed a workflow for 3D modeling of …

The relationship between three‐dimensional, MRI‐based morphologic measurements
commonly taken of knee cartilage was examined to determine whether a subset of variables …

Objective The relationship between the topographical variations in the structural,
biochemical and dynamic biomechanical properties of articular cartilage (AC) before and 6 …

Introduction Cartilage lesions or defects are the most common finding during knee
arthroscopy. During arthroscopy, it is often difficult to differentiate between degenerative and …

There is increasing research on the potential application of diffuse optical spectroscopy and
hyperspectral imaging for characterizing the health of the connective tissues, such as …
