Abstrakt: The article discusses a study which aims to determine differences between collagens and collagen receptors in human and porcine articular cartilage vesicles (ACVs). The study included ACVs which were released from old and young human and porcine hyaline articular cartilage. It found that higher levels of type II collagen in human ACV preparations can contribute to decreased mineralization in human ACVs.
