Journal of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage

Aims and Scope
 

Journal of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (JOC) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the clinical, radiographic, histological, and molecular assessment of osteoarthritis and cartilage biology. JOC serves as a global platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share cutting-edge advancements in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and management of osteoarthritis, as well as insights into cartilage structure, function, and repair mechanisms.  
 

The journal covers a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:  

• Osteoarthritis Pathophysiology: Understanding the molecular, genetic, and biomechanical mechanisms underlying cartilage degeneration and joint disease progression.  
• Clinical and Radiographic Assessment: Innovations in diagnostic imaging, biomarkers, and proteomics for early detection and monitoring of osteoarthritis.  
• Biomechanics and Joint Function: Research on joint load distribution, movement mechanics, and the role of cartilage in maintaining joint stability.  
• Cartilage Repair and Regenerative Medicine: Advances in stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, and biomaterial applications for cartilage regeneration.  
• Epidemiology and Public Health Implications: Studies on risk factors, disease prevalence, socioeconomic impact, and preventive strategies.  
• Treatment Modalities and Therapeutic Interventions: Novel approaches in pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, surgical innovations, and rehabilitation techniques.  
• Pediatric and Geriatric Osteoarthritis: Research focused on age-specific variations, early-onset joint diseases, and age-related cartilage degeneration.  

We encourage authors to submit original research, review articles, and perspectives that explore the application of artificial intelligence in areas such as disease diagnosis, treatment optimization, predictive modeling, and personalized medicine for osteoarthritis and cartilage-related conditions.
