Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint disease causing pain, stiffness,
reduced motion, swelling, crepitus, and disability. Several inflammatory markers and …

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by inflammation of the synovial
membrane, leading to invasion of synovial tissue into the adjacent cartilage matrix with …

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease causing pain,
stiffness, reduced motion, swelling, crepitus, and disability. Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1) is a critical …

Objective We previously reported that human OA subchondral bone osteoblasts could be
discriminated into two subpopulations identified by their levels of endogenous production …

Objective. To evaluate the expression of Dickkopf-1 protein factor (DKK-1), DKK-2, and β-
catenin, components of the Wnt pathway, in human osteoarthritic (OA) and osteoporotic (OP) …

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of serum and synovial fluid OPG and sRANKL in 37 patients with
primary knee osteoarthritis. DESIGN AND METHOD: OPG and sRANKL were measured …

Objective This study aims to explore the potential role of circulating Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1) and

Objective. To explore the potential role of Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
and to evaluate the effect of a tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitor (infliximab) and an …

Methods: It was a cross-sectional study where 80 (43 women and 37 men) newly diagnosed
subjects with OA knee were recruited. They were classified into four grades based on KL …
