## Abstract Focal damage to articular cartilage is common in arthroscopy patients, and may contribute to progressive tissue degeneration by altering the local mechanical environment. The effects of a focal defect, which may be oriented at various orientations relative to the subchondral bone, on th

β¦ Synopsis
This paper is a contribution to the study of growth in articular cartilage. The value other than academic of such a communication may not at first sight be apparent. But it must be realized that articular cartilage is by no means an inert tissue; on the contrary, it is exposed to continual wear for which it evidently compensates by some form of 'BIOEWIW, W. 8.

## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mediates signal transduction in articular cartilage in response to mechanical loading. ## Methods Articular cartilage from porcine metacarpophalangeal or knee joints was cyclically loaded (62.5β250N) for 2 mi
## Abstract Fibronectin, a ubiquitous glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix, serves as a substrate for cell attachment. Binding to fibronectin through cellβsurface receptors promotes a flattened cell shape, stimulates the phosphorylation of intracellular protein, and changes the pattern of gene
The phenomenon of "growing old" is the summation of the degenerative changes which occur in all tissues. Some tissues undergo demonstrable degeneration at earlier ages than others. The degenerative changes are grossly apparent in some tissues and afford a definite index of the structural age of the
