Rothbauer et al. developed a joint-on-a-chip model to explore the reciprocal tissue crosstalk between synovial and chondral organoids. Their system featured two spatially separated hydrogel-based 3D ...

it is believed that the specific mechanism of angiogenesis in RA synovial tissue is that the angiogenic medium activates VEC through protease. These proteases degrade the basement membrane to make VEC ...

These activities can build the muscles around the joints without overloading them. These exercises encourage the flow of synovial fluid (egg-white-like fluid found within the joint cavity) to hydrate ...
