This journal focuses on the study of cartilage, particularly in the context of osteoarthritis and articular cartilage injuries. Research investigates diagnostic biomarkers, therapeutic interventions including intraosseous injections, mesenchymal stem cells, hydrogels, and surgical techniques. Studies also explore the biological mechanisms of cartilage degradation, repair processes, and the impact of factors like mechanical stress and genetics on chondrocyte function.
