... chondrons, double chondrons, multiple linear column (three or more chondrons) and chondron clusters/matrix chips. Single chondron represent the smallest chondron unit identified and is commonly found in the middle layers of intact ...
... chondron is reached ) keratan sulfate forms at the outer zone of the chondron , far from the cell . Keratan sulfate shows lower turnover and a lower oxidation level as compared to chondroitin sulfate . Therefore , it may be useful in ...
... chondron as a biomechanical unit J.A. Szirmai Five decades have passed since the publication of a series of clas- sical papers by BENNINGHOFF ( 1922 , 1924 , 1925a , 1925b ) in which he introduced the concept of the chondron as a ...
... chondron plays a biomechanical role in articular cartilage ( Szirmai , 1974 ) . For ex- ample , it has been hypothesized that the chondron provides a protective effect for the chondrocyte during loading ( Poole et al . , 1987 ) , and ...
... chondrons can be isolated from hyaline cartilage for further use. Key words Chondron, Hyaline cartilage, Pericellular matrix, Isolation, Type VI collagen, Chondrocyte 1 Introduction A chondron can be described as the primary structural ...
... chondrons' have dense packed collagen network at the 'apical pole' and a partially degraded collagen network chondron 'tail,' forming the 'basal pole' of the chondron. Reports (Poole et al. 1988a): Tapered tails common to single chondrons ...
... chondron deformation New research, 'An axisymmetric boundary element model for determination of articular cartilage pericellular matrix properties in situ via inverse analysis of chondron deformation,' is the subject of a report ...
... chondron - seeded cultures In this study , the Ey ( Fig . 4A , B ) of the free - swelling samples was comparable to those obtained in Study 1 at day 28. At 10 million / ml , the Ey of dynamically loaded chondrocyte - seeded samples were ...
... chondrons. This finding conclusively established that chondron is a microanatomical unit defining the adult articular cartilage. Grossly each chondron is made up of a single chondrocyte that is attached peripherally to transparent ...
