when activated by proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to analyze and …

The administration of mineral sulphur water is an alternative experimental approach for the
treatment of rheumatic diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA), that cause the degeneration of …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of primary knee
osteoarthritis on the risk of falling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred participants …

In primary or idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA), it is unclear which factors trigger the shift of
articular chondrocyte activity from pro-anabolic to pro-catabolic. In fact, there is a controversy …

It is thought that the general increase in life expectancy will make osteoarthritis the fourth
leading cause of disability by the year 2020. Even though the pathogenesis of idiopathic …

This study aimed to determine the efficacy of PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) treatment
in experimental osteochondral defect healing in a rabbit model. The study was conducted on …

Objective To determine whether oxygen‐dependent activation patterns of hypoxia‐inducible
factor 1α (HIF‐1α) observed in vascularized tissues are conserved within avascular and …

Objective—To study osteoarthritis in the equine medial femorotibial (MFT) joint after a single
traumatic injury. Animals—10 mature horses. Procedure—In vitro explant cultures were used …

Because of the heterogeneous nature of articular cartilage tissue, penetration of potential
therapeutic molecules for osteoarthritis (OA) through the articular surface (AS) is complex …

The goal of this study was to characterize antibody penetration through cartilage tissue
under mechanical loading. Mechanical stimulation aids in the penetration of some proteins …
