The Relationship

Low-friction surfaces are critical for efficient joint articulation. The tribological properties of articular cartilage have been studied extensively in native tissue and joints. Despite their importance, very few studies have examined the frictional properties of tissue-engineered cartilage. We have therefore reviewed the relationship between composition, structure and friction in tissue-engineered cartilage.

Specific Orientation

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
