A Review of the Combination of Experimental Measurements and Fibril-Reinforced Modeling for Investigation of Articular Cartilage and Chondrocyte Response to Loading

<table>Presentation of the collagen network organization in maturing articular cartilage based on articular cartilage from rabbit, pig, and sheep [<a href="/journals/cmmm/2013/326150/#B1">1</a>–<a href="/journals/cmmm/2013/326150/#B4">4</a>]. When maturing, a nonorganized collagen fibril network slowly forms into a traditional Benninghoff-type arcade structure. At the same time, cartilage thickness is decreased [<a href="/journals/cmmm/2013/326150/#B1">1</a>, <a href="/journals/cmmm/2013/326150/#B2">2</a>, <a href="/journals/cmmm/2013/326150/#B4">4</a>, <a href="/journals/cmmm/2013/326150/#B230">15</a>].</table>
