osteoarthritis is caused by synovial joint wear and tear, which leads to the degradation of the articular cartilage that forms the synovial joint. Changes in the composition of synovial fluid ...

The human joints contain a fluid known as synovial fluid. The research team focused on the differences in the composition of metabolites—byproducts of chemical processes occurring within the ...

This depends on various aspects of the knee, such as cartilage and synovial fluid composition. And for her Ph.D. research, Alicia Damen set out to explore these aspects.

The composition of synovial fluid, or joint lubricant, changes significantly in osteoarthritis: The concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid tends to decrease and is commonly used to ...

Next, the team will try out the artificial fluid on larger animals with joints that are more similar to those of people. Nature Biomedical Engineering DOI: 10.1038/s41551-021-00785-y Advertisement ...
