Cartilage tissue engineering (TE) typically involves the combination of a 3-D biodegradable polymeric support material, with primary chondrocytes or other cell types able to differentiate into chondrocytes. The culture environment in which cell-material constructs are created and stored is an
Mechanical and biochemical analyses of cadaveric and surgically removed discs. To test the hypothesis that fissures in the annulus of degenerated human discs are mechanically and chemically conducive to the ingrowth of nerves and blood vessels. Discogenic back pain is

Assessment of the early stages of fracture healing via X-rays and computed tomography is limited by the low radio-opacity of cartilage. We validated a method of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) for non-destructive identification of cartilage within a healing fracture callus.

Mast cells play important roles in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. They are generally classified into 2 phenotypically distinct populations: connective tissue-type mast cells (CTMCs) and mucosal-type mast cells (MMCs). The number of mast cells that can be obtained from
Limited uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation could be beneficial for cells by preventing excessive generation of reactive oxygen species. Typical uncouplers are weak organic acids capable of permeating across membranes with a narrow gap between efficacy and toxicity. Aimed at designing
