Apoptotic cell death is not a widespread phenomenon in normal aging and osteoarthritic human articular knee cartilage: A study of proliferation, programmed cell death (apoptosis), and viability of chondrocytes in normal and osteoarthritic human knee cartilage
Thomas Aigner,M. Hemmel,Daniel Neureiter,Pia M. Gebhard,G. Zeiler,T. Kirchner,Louise A. McKenna +6 more
TL;DR: The results confirm the findings of previous studies showing that cell proliferation occurs in OA cartilage and show that apoptotic cell death is not a widespread phenomenon in aging or OA Cartilage.

Severe disturbance of the distribution and expression of type VI collagen chains in osteoarthritic articular cartilage.
TL;DR: It is suggested that there is a significant basic turnover of type VI collagen in normal articular cartilage and in OA cartilage, the chondrocytes of the lower middle and upper deep zones account for a net increase intype VI collagen synthesis.

De-differentiated chondrosarcoma is not a 'de-differentiated' chondrosarcoma.
TL;DR: This study investigated the distribution of extracellular matrix components in this tumour entity to shed light on its histogenetic origin and found two distinct chondroid and nonchondroid tumours.

Occurrence of multiple lymphoepithelioma‐like carcinomas and MALT‐type lymphoma in the stomach: detection of EBV in carcinomas but not in lymphoma
Axel Greiner,T. Kirchner,German Ott,Alexander Marx,W. Fischbach,Hans Konrad Müller-Hermelink +5 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that a focal EBV infection occurred early in the development of the carcinoma followed by a subsequent clonal expansion of the EBV‐containing tumour cells, which might be triggered by altered immune mechanisms.

Pleomorphic adenomas of the parotid express different mesenchymal phenotypes: demonstration of matrix gene expression products characteristic of the fibroblastic and chondrocytic cell lineages.
TL;DR: The composition of the collagenous extracellular tumour matrix is investigated and could show a specific biochemical composition pattern in the different tumour areas.
