In OA,\u0000chondrocytes in cartilage undergo phenotypic changes and senescence,\u0000restricting cartilage regeneration and favouring disease progression. Similar\u0000to other wound-healing disorders, chondrocytes from OA patients show a chronic\u0000increase in the gap junction channel protein connexin43 (Cx43), which regulates\u0000signal transduction through the exchange of elements or recruitment/release of\u0000signalling factors.

In this study, we found that Cx43 acts as a positive regulator of\u0000chondrocyte-mesenchymal transition. Downregulation of either Cx43 by\u0000CRISPR/Cas9 or Cx43-mediated gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC)\u0000by carbenoxolone treatment triggered rediferentiation of osteoarthritic\u0000chondrocytes into a more differentiated state, associated with decreased\u0000synthesis of MMPs and proinflammatory factors, and reduced senescence.

In this study we applied a coupled\u0000uncertainty quantification-finite element (FE) framework to understand the\u0000impact of uncertainty in vascular material properties on variability in\u0000predicted stresses. Univariate probability distributions were fit to material\u0000parameters derived from layer-specific mechanical behavior testing of human\u0000coronary tissue.

In an idealized coronary\u0000artery geometry, a forward FE model for each parameter ensemble was created to\u0000predict tissue stresses under physiologic loading. An emulator was constructed\u0000within the UncertainSCI software using polynomial chaos techniques, and\u0000statistics and sensitivities were directly computed.

In contrast\u0000to previous works which accomplished blood-flow homogenisation by assuming that\u0000the haematocrit level remains constant, here we allow for spatial heterogeneity\u0000in the haematocrit concentration and thus begin with a nonlinear microscale\u0000model.
