Comparative analysis of gene expression profiles of hip articular cartilage between non-traumatic necrosis and osteoarthritis
2 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Hip cartilage destruction is consistently observed in the non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (NOFH) and accelerates its bone necrosis. The molecular mechanism underlying the cartilage damage of NOFH remains elusive. In this study, we conducted a systematically comparative study of gene expression profiles between NOFH and osteoarthritis (OA). Hip articular cartilage specimens were collected from 12 NOFH...
