## Abstract Osteoarthritis is characterized by many factors, including proteoglycan loss, decreased collagen stiffness, and increased cartilage hydration. Chondrocyte swelling also occurs, and correlates with the degree of osteoarthritis, however, the cause is unknown but might be related to altera

Aims of the present study were to test the hypotheses that (1) the compressive properties of articular cartilage are affected more by changes in the medium ionic concentration than the tensile properties, (2) collagen network controls the compression-tension nonlinearity of articular cartilage, and
## Abstract Subchondral bone and articular cartilage play complementary roles in load bearing of the joints. Although the biomechanical coupling between subchondral bone and articular cartilage is well established, it remains unclear whether direct biochemical communication exists between them. Pre
