Chondrocyte Isolation and Expansion (2022)
Book Chapter
Harrison, P., Hopkins, T., Hulme, C., McCarthy, H., & Wright, K. Chondrocyte Isolation and Expansion. In Cartilage Tissue Engineering (9-19). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-2839-3_2

Chondrocyte isolation requires a combination of enzymatic and mechanical digestion of cartilaginous tissues in order to release the chondrocytes. Extracted primary chondrocytes will then adhere to standard tissue culture plastics, typically in small... Read More about Chondrocyte Isolation and Expansion.

Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Cartilage Healing in a Murine Joint Surface Injury Model. (2021)
Journal Article
McCarthy, H., Perry, J., Mennan, C., & Wright, K. (2021). Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Cartilage Healing in a Murine Joint Surface Injury Model. Cells, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells10081999

Human umbilical cord (hUC)- or bone marrow (hBM)-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were evaluated as an allogeneic source of cells for cartilage repair. We aimed to determine if they could enhance healing of chondral defects with or without th...

An In Vitro System to Study the Effect of Subchondral Bone Health on Articular Cartilage Repair in Humans. (2021)
Journal Article
Wright, K., Roberts, S., & Kuiper, J. (2021). An In Vitro System to Study the Effect of Subchondral Bone Health on Articular Cartilage Repair in Humans. Cells, https://doi.org/10.3390/cells10081903

Chondrocyte-based cartilage repair strategies, such as articular chondrocyte implantation, are widely used, but few studies addressed the communication between native subchondral bone cells and the transplanted chondrocytes. An indirect co-culture mo... Read More about An In Vitro System to Study the Effect of Subchondral Bone Health on Articular Cartilage Repair in Humans..

The Management of Talar Osteochondral Lesions - Current Concepts (2021)
Journal Article
Lan, T., McCarthy, H., Hulme, C., Wright, K., & Makwana, N. (2021). The Management of Talar Osteochondral Lesions - Current Concepts. Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery, 231-237. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jajs.2021.04.002

Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are a common complication following trauma, involving both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone, with variable aetiologies and often presenting with non-specific symptoms. Diagnosis of... Read More about The Management of Talar Osteochondral Lesions - Current Concepts.

Background:
Biomarkers are needed to predict clinical outcomes for microfracture and osteotomy surgeries to ensure patients can be better stratified to receive the most appropriate treatment.
Purpose:
To identify novel biomarker candidates and to... Read More about Identification of Candidate Synovial Fluid Biomarkers for the Prediction of Patient Outcome After Microfracture or Osteotomy.
