Abstract: Abstract. Healthy articular cartilage can sustain near-frictionless motion within the joint; in vivo friction coefficients fall well within the superlubricity regime (<0.01). However, despite nearly a century of study, the ...

Abstract: Healthy articular cartilage is a remarkable bearing material optimized for near-frictionless joint articulation. Because its limited self-repair capacity renders it susceptible to osteoarthritis (OA), approaches to reinforce ...
