## Abstract We investigated the effects of low‐intensity ultrasound (LIUS) on the activity of human articular chondrocytes isolated from osteoarthritis patients and cultured in the three‐dimensional alginate beads. LIUS was treated at 0, 100, 200, and 300 mW/cm^2^ for 10 min everyday for 2, 7, or 1

## Abstract In this study, the effect of low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on cartilage was evaluated in a rat osteoarthritis (OA) model using serum biomarkers such as CTX‐II (type II collagen degradation) and CPII (type II collagen synthesis) as well as histological criteria (Mankin score an
Dedifferentiated human articular chondrocytes exhibited a wide variation in their capacity to proliferate and redifferentiate in an alginate suspension culture system. The greatest extent of proliferation and redifferentiation was seen to be dependent on the formation of clonal populations of chondr
## Abstract The effects of low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (US) on the proliferation and chondroitin sulfate synthesis of cultured chondrocytes embedded in Atelocollagen® gel __in vitro__ were examined. Articular cartilage was harvested from the hip, knee, and shoulder joints of 10‐week‐old Japanes
## Abstract Spontaneous herniated disc resorption occurs via inflammatory reactions involving abundant neovascularization and macrophage phagocytotic activity. Nonthermal low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment might be effective in shortening the duration of disc resorption. We developed
