Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To phenotypically characterize ADAMTS-4- and ADAMTS-5-double-knockout mice, and to determine the effect of deletion of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 on the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in mice. METHODS: Mice lacking the catalytic domain of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 were crossed to generate ADAMTS-4/5-double-knockout animals. Twelve-week-old and 1-year-old male and female ADAMTS-4/5-double-knockout mice were...
