The biphasic nature of articular cartilage has been acknowledged for some time and is known to play an important role in many of the biomechanical functions performed by this unique tissue. From the lubrication point of view however, a simple biphasic model is unable to account for the extremely low
## Abstract Articular cartilage has limited potential for repair. Current clinical treatments for articular cartilage damage often result in fibrocartilage and are associated with joint pain and stiffness. To address these concerns, researchers have turned to the engineering of cartilage grafts. Ti
## 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
