NIHR Leeds BRC: Pre-clinical evaluation of novel regenerative medicine strategies for knee osteoarthritis

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

Historically, articular cartilage was considered incapable of spontaneous repair. However, biomechanical correction in osteoarthritis (OA) using high tibial osteotomy or joint distraction demonstrated the remarkable joint to regeneration by “merely” correcting joint alignment. Read more

Determination of the non-coding RNAs in the knee joint tissues of dogs at differing risk to cranial cruciate ligament rupture.

University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology

Background. The cranial cruciate ligment (CCL) is the most frequently damaged ligament of the canine knee joint following injuries and age-related ligament breakdown, leading to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Read more
