Synergetic Support of Cartilage Homeostasis via Coupled Thermal-Hydrostatic Pressure Stimuli

Cartilage homeostasis, crucial for musculoskeletal function, is orchestrated by interconnected biophysical cues. In healthy cartilage, repetitive compressive loading not only elicits a range of mechanical stimuli but also induces a gradual transient temper ...

Enhancing Chondrocyte Biosynthetic Activities: Harnessing the Power of Loading-Induced Evolved Temperature

Theofanis Stampoultzis

Chondrocytes within articular cartilage possess the capacity to perceive and react to signals generated by the typical load-bearing actions of daily life, such as walking or running. Articular cartilage is predominantly oriented toward compression-based fu ...

Mimicking Loading-Induced Cartilage Self-Heating in Vitro Promotes Matrix Formation in Chondrocyte-Laden Constructs with Different Mechanical Properties

Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo

Articular cartilage presents a mechanically sensitive tissue. Chondrocytes, the sole cell type residing in the tissue, perceive and react to physical cues as signals that significantly modulate their behavior. Hyaline cartilage is a connective tissue with ...

Development of Standardized Fetal Progenitor Cell Therapy for Cartilage Regenerative Medicine: Industrial Transposition and Preliminary Safety in Xenogeneic Transplantation

Dominique Pioletti, Sandra Jaccoud, Corinne Scaletta, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Salim Elias Darwiche, Alexis Laurent

Diverse cell therapy approaches constitute prime developmental prospects for managing acute or degenerative cartilaginous tissue affections, synergistically complementing specific surgical solutions. Bone marrow stimulation (i.e., microfracture) remains a ...

Tailoring the Mechanical Properties of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds made from Decellularized Cartilage

Jens Antons

Due to its limited regeneration capacity, articular cartilage defects are considered a frequent clinical problem. Initial cartilage defects, if left untreated, will progress in severity over time and can eventually lead to degenerative joint diseases such ...

Efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic fields tuned to the ion cyclotron resonance frequency of Ca2+ on chondrogenic differentiation

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel, Hanie Kavand

Previous studies provide strong evidence for the therapeutic effect of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on different tissues including cartilage. Diverse exposure parameters applied in scientific reports and the unknown interacting mechanism of EMF with biolo ...

Modeling knee osteoarthritis pathophysiology using an integrated joint system (IJS): a systematic review of relationships among cartilage thickness, gait mechanics, and subchondral bone mineral density

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: To introduce an integrated joint system (IJS) model of joint health and osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology through a systematic review of the cross-sectional relationships among three knee properties (cartilage thickness, gait mechanics, and su ...

Cyclodextrin Modulated Type I Collagen Self-Assembly to Engineer Biomimetic Cornea Implants

Francesco Stellacci, Evangelia-Nefeli Athanasopoulou

Collagen-rich tissues in the cornea exhibit unique and highly organized extracellular matrix ultrastructures, which contribute to its high load-bearing capacity and light transmittance. Corneal collagen fibrils are controlled during development by small le ...
