German term or phrase: Knorpelgerüststoffe
Context:

"Im Körper und vor allem im blutigen Gelenkerguss lokal freigesetzte Entzündungsfaktoren führen nachweislich zur verminderten Synthese von Knorpelgerüststoffen, zum verstärkten Zellgerüstabbau und schließlich zum programmierten Knorpelzelltod."

cartilage building components
Explanation:
Supplementation of Glucosamine and Chondroitin help to build and repair cartilage, protect existing cartilage from premature breakdown, lubricate joints, decrease joint pain and stiffness, slow progression of OA and improve ease of movement. Collagen Type II helps promote new cartilage synthesis.
...
Remember that there is no one single ingredient that can provide all the materials needed to build cartilage. Many people with joint pain take only glucosamine without realising they require more cartilage- building components. When chondroitin, Collagen Type II and HA are taken together with glucosamine, your joint cartilage gets the vital and optimum nourishment for it to grow strong and healthy.

cartilagineous matrix


Explanation:
In a strict anatomical sense, this suggestion is not 100% exact, but it might work well in a context like yours.

neutral  MMUlr: Wäre schon eine Interpretation (es steht ja nicht Matrix da) - IMO waren die Proteoglykane in der ECM gemeint, nicht unbedingt die ECM selbst./s. meine Added note - Anne, hier der (ganz seltene!) Fall, wo wir unterschiedlicher Meinung sind ;-)

  -> Weiß schon, dass das nicht 1:1 übersetzt ist, aber wo es eher auf allgemeine Abläufe als auf einzelne biochemische Reaktionen ankommt, scheint es mir genau genug (siehe z.B. Verwendung der Terminologie in der added note).

@Anne, ich habe den Absatz in der URL gelesen;

"Cartilage basically consists of two components: water and a framework of structural macromolecules (matrix) that give the tissue its form and function. The matrix is highly organized and composed of collagens, proteoglycans and noncollagenous proteins."

... du meinst demnach, man könne einfach das Wasser "ignorieren" und Matrix = Makromoleküle verstehen ... Also, die Notwendigkeit zu dieser Vereinfachung sehe ich nicht, wo doch ein gute eingeführter, auch noch verständlicher Ausdruck wie "structural components" vorhanden ist. :-)

Außerdem sind die "Gerüststoffe" eben nicht alle Moleküle in der ECM, sondern nur bestimmte, IMO Kollagen und Proteoglykane.

Sehr interessant übrigens dieser Dissertatin zum "Thema":
