Changes of serum sclerostin and Dickkopf-1 levels during the menstrual cycle. A pilot study
(2016)Studies in postmenopausal women have identified sclerostin as a strong candidate for mediating estrogen effects on the skeleton. The effects of estradiol on sclerostin and Dickkopf-1 in younger women remain unclear. The ... -
Hypoxia-induced collagen crosslinking as a mechanism for enhancing mechanical properties of engineered articular cartilage
(2013)Objective: The focus of tissue engineering of neocartilage has traditionally been on enhancing extracellular matrix and thus biomechanical properties. Emphasis has been placed on the enhancement of collagen type and quantity, ... -
Induced Collagen Cross-Links Enhance Cartilage Integration
(2013)Articular cartilage does not integrate due primarily to a scarcity of cross-links and viable cells at the interface. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that lysyl-oxidase, a metalloenzyme that forms ... -
Passive strain-induced matrix synthesis and organization in shape-specific, cartilaginous neotissues
(2014)Tissue-engineered musculoskeletal soft tissues typically lack the appropriate mechanical robustness of their native counterparts, hindering their clinical applicability. With structure and function being intimately linked, ...
