## Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease, associated with articular cartilage degeneration and eventually joint destruction. The phases of the disease have been described in detail, and mechanical factors play an important role in the initiation of OA, but many questions remain a
## Abstract Native pig articular cartilage was investigated by ^13^C cross polarization (CP) magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR at a magnetic field strength of 17.6 T. CP MAS spectra of cartilage are dominated by resonances from rigid collagen, while only low‐intensity signals from the glycosaminoglyca
## Abstract Abnormal softening in articular cartilage is related to the presence of collagen fibers strongly aligned in a radial direction. In this paper, a morphologic model is proposed that provides a mechanism by which these radial arrays can develop passively from the more random, 3‐dimensional
