Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical transplantation of a tissue-engineered airway

TL;DR: The results show that a cellular, tissue-engineered airway with mechanical properties that allow normal functioning, and which is free from the risks of rejection, is produced, suggesting that autologous cells combined with appropriate biomaterials might provide successful treatment for patients with serious clinical disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human lumbar intervertebral disc: evidence for changes in the biosynthesis and denaturation of the extracellular matrix with growth, maturation, ageing, and degeneration.

TL;DR: Three matrix turnover phases are identified and evidence is illustrated for a lack of increased synthesis of aggrecan and type II procollagen, but also by an increase in collagen type II denaturation and type I Procollagen synthesis, both dependent on age and grade of tissue degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased damage to type II collagen in osteoarthritic articular cartilage detected by a new immunoassay.

TL;DR: The epitope recognized by the antibody was resistant to cleavage by alpha-chymotrypsin and proteinase K which were used to extract alpha 1 (II)-CB11B from the denatured and residual native collagen alpha-chains present in human femoral articular cartilage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histological assessment of cartilage repair: a report by the Histology Endpoint Committee of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS).

TL;DR: Articular cartilage is a narrow layer of specialized connective tissue that permits smooth, frictionless movement of diarthrodial joints that is distinguished by the shape of the chondrocytes and the arrangement of type-II collagen fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Damage to type II collagen in aging and osteoarthritis starts at the articular surface, originates around chondrocytes, and extends into the cartilage with progressive degeneration.

TL;DR: In both aging and OA the first damage to type II collagen occurs in the superficial and upper mid zone (low MG) extending to the lower mid and deep zones with increasing degeneration (increasing MG), and initial damage is always seen around chondrocytes implicating them in the denaturation oftype II collagen.
