## Abstract The incidence of osteoarthritis is significantly higher in the knee as compared to the ankle, suggesting that differences in the properties of cartilage from these joints may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. As an avascular tissue, articular cartilage depends primarily u

## Abstract The aim of this study is to develop __T__~1Ο~ as an MR marker of the compositional and functional condition of cartilage. Specifically, we investigate the correlation of changes in cartilage biomechanical and biochemical properties with __T__~1Ο~ relaxation rate in a cytokineβinduced mo
The deformation behavior and mechanical properties of articular chondrocytes are believed to play an important role in their response to mechanical loading of the extracellular matrix. This study utilized the micropipette aspiration test to measure the viscoelastic properties of chondrocytes isolate
