Understanding the texture and properties of cartilage using a Texture Analyser for biomedical research

Understanding the texture and properties of cartilage is crucial in biomedical research, as it can have a significant impact on the development of treatments for conditions such as osteoarthritis and other joint-related diseases. One useful tool for examining these properties is a Texture Analyser, which allows researchers to measure and quantify various characteristics of cartilage samples. Cartilage is a connective tissue found in many parts of the body, including the joints, ears, and nose. It provides support, cushioning, and flexibility to these areas. However, cartilage can undergo significant changes due to aging, injury, or disease, leading to decreased functionality and pain in affected individuals.
