Tissue growth as a mechanism for collagen fiber alignment in articular cartilage

Abstract Articular cartilage is distinguished by the unique alignment of type II collagen, a feature crucial for its mechanical properties and function. This characteristic organization is established during postnatal development of the tissue, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood....
