Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare micro- and macroscale friction coefficients of bovine articular cartilage. Microscale measurements were performed using standard atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques, using a 5 microm spherical probe tip. Twenty-four cylindrical osteochondral plugs were harvested in pairs from adjacent positions in six fresh bovine humeral heads (4-6 months old), and divided into two groups for AFM and macroscopic friction measurements. AFM measurements of friction were observed to be time-independent, whereas macroscale measurements demonstrated the well-documented time-dependent increase from a minimum to an equilibrium value. The microscale AFM friction coefficient (mu(AFM), 0.152+/-0.079) and macroscale equilibrium friction coefficient (mu(eq), 0.138+/-0.036) exhibited no statistical differences (p=0.50), while the macroscale minimum friction coefficient (mu(min), 0.004+/-0.001) was significantly smaller than mu(eq) and mu(AFM) (p<0.0001). Variations in articular surface roughness (Rq= 462+/-216 nm) did not correlate significantly with mu(AFM), mu(eq) or mu(min). The effective compressive modulus determined from AFM indentation tests using a Hertz contact analysis was E*=45.8+/-18.8 kPa. The ma...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
