Abstract

Articular cartilage is subjected to dynamic compressive loading that is known to influence chondrocyte metabolism. While the exact signalling mechanisms are unclear, it has been proposed that cell deformation plays a role and may stimulate a metabolic response through distinctive pathways. In this study, a well characterized model system in which chondrocytes are embedded in agarose was used to study the effect of dynamic cellular strain on three key metabolic processes, namely the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan, of DNA, and of total protein. Using a specially designed apparatus, 15% compressive strain amplitude was applied to agarose-chondrocyte cylinders statically or dynamically over a range of frequencies (0.3-3 Hz). Static and low-frequency strain (0.3 Hz) inhibited the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan, while a frequency of 1 Hz stimulated synthesis. Static strain reduced the level of thymidine uptake, whereas dynamic strain at all frequencies induced an increase in chondrocyte proliferation. Incorporation of tritiated proline was suppressed by all strain regimens tested. The three parameters investigated were each influenced by the dynamic strain regimens in a distinct manner, implying that the signalling mechanisms involve...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
