Cell-Based Regenerative Strategies for Knee Cartilage Repair: A Scoping Review of Autologous Cartilage, Mesenchymal Stromal Cells, and Hybrid Approaches
Background: Cell-based approaches for focal knee cartilage repair include cartilage- and chondrocyte-based procedures, mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based strategies, and combinations of these approaches. However, the amount and type of...

Sequential Exposure to Acute, Intermediate, and Late Synovial Fluid Fracture Hematoma after Ankle Fracture Promotes Cartilage Damage in Vitro Partially Attenuated by Anti Inflammatory Agents
Background: Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) following intra-articular fractures (IAFs) remains a common sequela after injury. Cartilage degeneration after injury is influenced by multiple factors, including elevated proinflammatory ...

Inhibition of Hexokinase 2 Undermines Cartilage Health and Accelerates Osteoarthritis
Objective: Enhanced glycolysis is a metabolic hallmark of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis (OA); however, the roles of the glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme hexokinase 2 (HK2) in cartilage remain poorly understood. Methods: Mice and cell mod...
