How movement lubricates bone joints
Taking a cue from machines that gently flex patients' knees to help them recover faster from joint surgery, bioengineering researchers at UC San Diego have shown that sliding forces applied to cartilage surfaces prompt cells in that tissue to produce molecules that lubricate and protect joints. view more (2006-12-05)
Efficacy of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate may depend on level of osteoarthritis pain

Knee injury causes decrease in lubrication, has implications for arthritis
Researchers have found an association between inflammation from knee injuries and a progressive loss of joint lubrication, which may predispose people to arthritis. They have also found a way to quantify how much lubrication is lost following injury. view more (2005-06-02)
