How can you use “dgemric” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
dGEMRIC = delayed gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage; ECM = extracellular matrix; GAG = glycosaminoglycan; IL = interleukin; NMR = nuclear magnetic resonance.
The study provides additional evidence that the in vitro dGEMRIC method is a practical means for studying GAG homeostasis and events that disturb it.
Use of dGEMRIC allowed for the actual [GAG] in the tissue to be followed over time.
This dGEMRIC method of relating measured T1 and cartilage [GAG] was previously validated and reported [ 12 13 22 ] .
The notion that the differential ability to replenish GAG fully is related to the differential state of the collagen matrix has been suggested by others, based in part on the finding that GAG depletion corresponds with regions that are positive for the col3/4 epitope, which is indicative of collagen damage [ 6 26 ] . Although we lack specific information on the state of the collagen matrix, the differences observed in the present study (and, indeed, the demonstrated ability to evaluate regional differences in response) suggest that dGEMRIC and model systems such as these may be useful for establishing a better understanding of the capacity of cartilage to repair osteoarthritis-like degradation.
