Exploring the Correlation Between Functional Gradients in Material Properties and Solute Diffusion Across the Osteochondral Interface

The solute transport across the osteochondral (OC) interface is of crucial metabolic importance for a normal function of articular cartilage, and, therefore, for the OC interface as a whole. A better understanding how the mechanical- and physiological properties of the OC interface affect the solute transport across the OC interface could lead...
