Zone‐specific gene expression patterns in articular cartilage
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify novel genes and pathways specific to the superficial zone (SZ), middle zone (MZ), and deep zone (DZ) of normal articular cartilage. METHODS: Articular cartilage was obtained from the knees of 4 normal human donors. The cartilage zones were dissected on a microtome. RNA was analyzed on human genome arrays. The zone-specific DNA array data obtained from human tissue were compared to array...
