Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTissue Engineering of Articular Cartilage: A Mini-ReviewRadoslav Zamborsky, Jana Rusnakova, Andreas NicodemouDamage of articular cartilage due to congenital anomaly, injury or pathological process may lead in decreasing of life quality of affected patients. In many cases, conventional therapeutical approaches may not bring expected results. Tissue engineering by the combination of material technology and cell-based therapy may represent hope for these patients. The main goal of this review article is to summarize … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 6,929 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMPACT OF ANTIOXIDANTS ON INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS IN OSTEOARTHRITIS RAT MODEL: SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE INSIGHTSEl Hassan Heidar, FareedF Al Faya, Waleed N. Hassan et al.Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by degradation of matrix and destruction of articular cartilage. Articular chondrocytes are solely responsible for the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. Therefore, chondrocyte disruption is implicated in cartilage degeneration. Numerous studies have shown that antioxidant treatments are promising therapeutics in cases of OA. This study was designedto examine whether vitamin E protects rat articular … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 19 May 2014 · 7,620 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Polyoxypregnane Glycoside from the Roots of Dregea volubilis (L.f) Benth. ex Hook. f and its Chondroprotective EffectSaksri Sanyacharernkul, Akanit Itghiarbha, Prachya Kongtawelert et al.Problem statement: Dregea genus (Asclepiadaceae) is well known for the rich of steroid pregnane contents and these plants are famous for the potential to be applied as alternative biological activities. Dregea volubilis is the only species of Dregea genus in Thailand. The chemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting to bioassay-guided fractionation, particularly chondroprotective effect.
