Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic properties of human articular chondrocytes derived from young, aged and osteoarthritic subjects and their genetic adaptation to a catabolic challenge (i.e. the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha), in the absence or presence of diacerein, a drug potentially useful in osteoarthritis. Chondrocytes in primary culture were...
