Experimental investigation on the reverse mechano-electrical effect of porcine articular cartilage by Chunsheng Liu, Le Zhao, Hao Dong, Zekun Hua, Yanqin Wang, Yongxing Wang, Pengcui Li, Xiaochun Wei, Kai Zhang, Yanru Xue, Xiaogang Wu, Weiyi Chen

“…Therefore, this study analyzed and investigated the reverse mechano-electrical effect in porcine articular cartilage and its related influencing factors.MethodsThe deflection of cartilage samples in an electric field was measured to analyze the mechanisms of different factors affecting the reverse mechano-electrical effect in articular cartilage.ResultsThe results showed that the cartilage thickness, water content, and externally applied voltage all impacted the deflection of the cartilage. The reduction in cartilage water content resulted in a decrease in cartilage thickness, following the same influencing mechanism as thickness. …”
