Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage
degradation and changes in the subchondral bone. Over the last two decades, there has …

Aim: To investigate the role of chondrocyte apoptosis in the initiation and severity of articular
cartilage (AC) damage. Methods: Articular cartilage from equine metacarpophalangeal …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disorder found in the aging population
and is primarily characterized by loss of articular cartilage. Because chondrocytes are …

Objective To determine which kind of cell death occurs in cartilage from patients with
osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Seven normal and 16 OA cartilage samples were collected at …

Objective Chondrocyte apoptosis has been described in both human and experimentally
induced osteoarthritis (OA), but its importance in the etiopathogenesis of OA is uncertain …

Chondrocyte apoptosis is known to contribute to articular cartilage damage in osteoarthritis
and is correlated to a number of cartilage disorders. Micromass cultures represent a …

Apoptosis is a highly-regulated, active process of cell death involved in development,
homeostasis and aging. Dysregulation of apoptosis leads to pathological states, such as …

Objective To examine the occurrence of apoptosis in human osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage,
and to determine its relationship to cartilage degradation. Methods Knee cartilage was …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease characterised by degradation of
articular cartilage and bone remodelling. For almost a decade chondrocyte apoptosis has …

Objective Chondrocytes are crucial for adequate matrix balance and function. Cell
proliferation and, recently, extensive apoptotic cell death have been reported in …
