## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether the synovial fluid (SF) constituents hyaluronan (HA), proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), and surfaceβactive phospholipids (SAPL) contribute to boundary lubrication, either independently or additively, at an articular cartilageβcartilage interface. ## Methods Car
## Abstract Lubrication of cartilage involves a variety of physical and chemical factors, including lubricin, a synovial glycoprotein that has been shown to be a boundary lubricant. It is unclear how lubricin boundary lubricates a wide range of bearings from tissue to artificial surfaces, and if th
