Recombinant human FGF18 preserves depth-dependent mechanical inhomogeneity in articular cartilage

Articular cartilage is a specialised tissue that has a relatively homogenous endogenous cell population but a diverse extracellular matrix (ECM), with depth-dependent mechanical properties. Repair of this tissue remains an elusive clinical goal, with biological interventions preferred to arthroplast...
