Modified rheological methods from high polymer physics (biorheology, historheology) have been applied to the testing of hyaline cartilage histomechanics. The following histomechanical properties of cartilage are discussed: transient behaviour, the influence of the mechanical history on the subsequent force-deformation processes, viscoelastic equilibrium status (histomechanical steady state), and relaxation phenomena in the pressure and tension range under alternating pressure-tension loading. Pressure force-time input and output curves in a closed loop system and the amplitude-increasing phenomenon under uniform sinus deformations with increasing superimposed linear deformation input were also demonstrated. The results are discussed from the point of view of functional anatomy.

Aims: Magnesium ions (Mg) play an important role in promoting cartilage repair in cartilage lesions. However, no research has focused on the role of Mg combined with microfracture (MFX) in hyaline-like cartilage repair mediated by cartilage injury. This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of the combination of MFX and Mg in cartilage repair.

Background: Therapies for cartilage restoration are of great interest, but current options provide limited results. In salamanders, interzone (IZN) tissue can regenerate large joint lesions. The mammalian homolog to this tissue exists during fetal development and exhibits remarkable chondrogenesis in vitro.

Background: Rotator cuff repairs may fail because of compromised blood supply, suture anchor pullout, or poor fixation to bone. To augment the repairs and promote healing of the tears, orthobiologics, such a platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and biologic scaffolds have been applied with mixed results. Adipose allograft matrix (AAM), which recruits native cells to damaged tissues, may also be a potential treatment for rotator cuff tears.

Scaffold-free tissue engineering strategies using cellular aggregates, microtissues, or organoids as "biological building blocks" could potentially be used for the engineering of scaled-up articular cartilage or endochondral bone-forming grafts. Such approaches require large numbers of cells; however, little is known about how different chondrogenic growth factor stimulation regimes during cellular expansion and differentiation influence the capacity of cellular aggregates or microtissues to fuse and generate hyaline cartilage. In this study, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were additionally stimulated with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and/or transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 during both monolayer expansion and subsequent chondrogenic differentiation in a microtissue format.
