Effects of solute size and tissue composition on molecular and macromolecular diffusivity in human knee cartilage
Summary: Objective: Articular cartilage is an avascular tissue. Accordingly, diffusivity represents a fundamental transport mechanism for nutrients and other molecular signals regulating its cell metabolism and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. Understanding how solutes spread into articular...
