Abstract excerpt
Synovial fluid is a semidilute hyaluronate (HA) polymer solution, the rheology of which depends on HA-protein interactions, and lubricin is a HA-binding protein found in synovial fluid and at cartilage surfaces, where it contributes to boundary lubrication under load. Individuals with genetic def...
