Composition of the pericellular matrix modulates the deformation behaviour of chondrocytes in articular cartilage under static loading

The aim was to assess the role of the composition changes in the pericellular matrix (PCM) for the chondrocyte deformation. For that, a three-dimensional finite element model with depth-dependent collagen density, fluid fraction, fixed charge density and collagen architecture, including parallel pla...
