NFATc1 and NFATc2 repress spontaneous osteoarthritis

Abstract excerpt

Osteoarthritis (OA) was once viewed originally as a mechanical disease of "wear and tear," but advances made during the past two decades suggest that abnormal biomechanics contribute to active dysregulation of chondrocyte biology, leading to catabolism of the cartilage matrix. A number of signaling and transcriptional mechanisms have been studied in relation to the regulation of this catabolic program, but how...
