Regulatory network-based model to simulate the biochemical regulation of chondrocytes in healthy and osteoarthritic environments

Abstract excerpt

In osteoarthritis (OA), chondrocyte metabolism dysregulation increases relative catabolic activity, which leads to cartilage degradation. To enable the semiquantitative interpretation of the intricate mechanisms of OA progression, we propose a network-based model at the chondrocyte level that incorporates the complex ways in which inflammatory factors affect structural protein and protease expression and...
