Mashup Score: 9
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a major problem in the pediatric and adolescent populations. Some of these injuries are only partial; yet, there is limited data to inform clinical treatment of such partial tears. It is unknown how injury partial injury impacts long-term degenerative changes in the joint relative to complete injury. In this study, we hypothesized that partial (anteromedial (AM) or posterolateral (PL) bundle) tears would result in small levels of instability and degeneration relative to complete ACL tears and that the degree of degeneration would associate with joint instability.

Mashup Score: 11A programmable arthritis-specific receptor for guided articular cartilage regenerative medicine - 1 month(s) ago
Investigational cell therapies have been developed as disease-modifying agents for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), including those that inducibly respond to inflammatory factors driving OA progression. However, dysregulated inflammatory cascades do not specifically signify the presence of OA. Here, we deploy a synthetic receptor platform that regulates cell behaviors in an arthritis-specific fashion to confine transgene expression to sites of cartilage degeneration.

Mashup Score: 2H3K9me3 loss and ERVs activation as hallmarks for osteoarthritis progression and knee joint aging - 1 month(s) ago
This study aims to link aberrant endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) activation and osteoarthritis (OA) progression by comparing the chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic landscapes of diseased or intact joint tissues of OA patients.

Mashup Score: 12
Proteolytic cartilage extracellular matrix breakdown is a major mechanism of articular cartilage loss in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. We sought to determine the overlap of proteolytic peptides in matched knee OA cartilage and synovial fluid on a proteome-wide scale to increase the prospective biomarker repertoire and to attribute proteolytic cleavages to specific secreted proteases.

Mashup Score: 3A major functional role of synovial fluid is to reduce the rate of cartilage fatigue failure under cyclical compressive loading - 2 month(s) ago
Based on our recent study, which showed that cartilage fatigue failure in reciprocating sliding contact results from cyclical compressive forces, not from cyclical frictional forces, we hypothesize that a major functional role for synovial fluid (SF) is to reduce the rate of articular cartilage fatigue failure from cyclical compressive loading.

Mashup Score: 0
Distal radius fractures (DRFs) with dorsal malunion increase the risk of osteoarthritis (OA), although the cause of post-DRF OA is yet to be elucidated. To clarify the abnormal effects of a post-DRF dorsal radius deformity, we evaluated the bone density (BD) and stress-distribution patterns of the articular surface in dorsally malunited DRFs.

Mashup Score: 25When ‘synovitis’ is not synovitis - 2 month(s) ago
Although osteoarthritis (OA) is still clinically referred to as a ‘noninflammatory’ arthritis, because physical signs of overt inflammation at the patient level are often absent or mild, both cellular and molecular inflammation are widely recognized to be active components of OA pathogenesis. Moreover, osteoarthritic processes have been proposed to be conceptually similar to those in a chronic wound, whereby constant stimulation of innate inflammatory pathways by tissue damage leads to a chronic remodeling response by the entire synovial joint organ.
