...J. W. Ruberti; J. B. Sokoloff Articular cartilage is comprised of macromolecules, proteoglycans, with (charged) chondroitin sulfate side-chains attached to them. The proteoglycans are attached to longer hyaluronic acid chains, trapped within a network of type II collagen fibrils. As a consequence...

...-lactalbumin summarized in Curry [Microcirculation 1 (1), 11–26 (1994)] under various conditions. In addition, we applied this new model to describe the transport of negatively charged macromolecules, bovine serum albumin (BSA), across venular microvessels in frog mesentery. According to the model...

...Tadashi Kosawada; Kohji Inoue; Geert W. Schmid-Schönbein Highly curved cell membrane structures, such as plasmalemmal vesicles (caveolae) and clathrin-coated pits, facilitate many cell functions, including the clustering of membrane receptors and transport of specific extracellular macromolecules...

...W. Akers; M. A. Haidekker Background : Molecular rotors exhibit viscosity-dependent quantum yield, allowing non-mechanical determination of fluid viscosity. We analyzed fluorescence in the presence of viscosity-modulating macromolecules several orders of magnitude larger than the rotor molecule...

.... In biphasic and poroelastic theories, the effect of charges fixed on the proteoglycan macromolecules in articular cartilage is embodied in the apparent compressive Young’s modulus and the apparent Poisson’s ratio of the tissue, and the fluid pressure is considered to be the portion above the osmotic pressure...

... description was combined with adjective and diffusive solute transport, uptake and biosynthesis. To illustrate the approach we focused on the synthesis and transport of macromolecules under influence of fluid flow induced by cyclic compression. In order to produce net transport the effect of dispersion...
