The aim of study was to evaluate the progression of the ankle articular cartilage alterations after a post-immobilization muscle stretching. Twenty-nine Wistar rats were separated into five groups: C--control, S--stretched, SR--stretch recovery, IS--immobilized and stretched, and ISR--immobilized stretched recovery. The

Tissue engineering is a promising approach for treatment of disc degeneration. Herein, we evaluated effects of rotating bioreactor culture on the extracellular matrix production and proliferation of human annulus fibrosus (AF) cells. AF cells were embedded into alginate beads, and
To investigate changes of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters (mean apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC], fractional anisotropy [FA], and first eigenvector) with increasing proteoglycan (PG) extraction of articular cartilage. Twelve cylindrical cartilage-on-bone samples were drilled from 4 human patellae (3 per

Current study employs fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to investigate the interaction of safranine dye with spherical shaped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) coated with trisodium citrate. In fluorescence spectroscopic study we used the
