## Abstract The objective of this study was to: (1) determine the distribution of lubricin in the human torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus; (2) determine the distribution of lubricin in the human intact ACL and meniscus; (3) and identify potential cellular sources of lubricin in the

It is known that afferent neurons play a protective role in knees made unstable by transection of the anterior cruciate ligament. However, it is not known whether cutting the anterior cruciate ligament has an effect on the response of the sensory neurons that innervate the joint. In this study, the
## Abstract A noncontact, kinematic method was used to determine the lengths and in situ loads borne by portions of the human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by the combination of kinematic data from the intact knee and loadβlength curves of the isolated ACL. Specimens from knees of cadavers of yo
## Abstract Myostatin, also referred to as growth and differentiation factorβ8 (GDFβ8), is expressed in muscle tissue where it functions to suppress myoblast proliferation and myofiber hypertrophy. Recently, myostatin and its receptor, the type IIB activin receptor (ActRIIB), were detected in the l
To identify androgen target cells in the human anterior cruciate ligament, immunohistochemical localization of the androgen receptor was performed in 31 specimens of the ligament. All of the specimens were obtained at surgery. Seventeen specimens were from women, and 14 were from men: the average ag
