Abstract:	Articular cartilage has a unique structure that makes it very different from any other tissues in the body. It has such specific roles and functions such as weight bearing with low frictional coefficient that the main bulk of its structure is based on that alone, thus making it a vascular, and thereby greatly limiting its self regeneration capabilities. This article aims to review the structure of articular cartilage and structural changes during osteoarthritis, one of the most common cartilage degenerative diseases around, and as well as insights into some of the current treatment options available for cartilage degenerative diseases.
