Articular cartilage (AC) has a complex zonal structure and composition, providing it with its essential functional properties. However, when cartilage is damaged, the zonal complexity does not regenerate, leaving an inferior tissue which is prone to degeneration. As a result, cartilage injury commonly leads to pain and the eventual need for joint replacement. Progress towards true regeneration of AC requires an advance in understanding of how zonal complexity (and corresponding function) emerge over development. The most promising clue to understanding zonal emergence is that mechanical forces are known to be important for normal AC development. ReZone will reveal the mechanisms underlying…
