Abstract:In 25 human femoral heads, the structural changes in the chondrocyte cavities of prearthrotic cartilage were determined in three different layers by detailed morphometric evaluation. As examination parameters, the area, perimeter, diameter, and the form deviation from a circle (form PE) were chosen. In addition, we calculated the numeric cell density and the mean distance between two chondrocyte cavities. For intraindividual comparison, the same data were obtained from nondegeneratively changed cartilage areas… Show more
“…In the transgenic mouse at 12 months of age, the significant reduction in cellular density and clonal density of the superficial zone may be due to cell necrosis. These changes accord with those of others who hypothesized that the superficial zone is at greater risk because of its greater distance from basal active chondrocytes (Bertram and Lierse 1991).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
