Enpp1 inhibits ectopic joint calcification and maintains articular chondrocytes by repressing hedgehog signaling
15 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The differentiated phenotype of articular chondrocytes of synovial joints needs to be maintained throughout life. Disruption of the articular cartilage, frequently associated with chondrocyte hypertrophy and calcification, is a central feature in osteoarthritis (OA). However, the molecular mechanisms whereby phenotypes of articular chondrocytes are maintained and pathological calcification is inhibited...
