Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent, age-associated joint disease characterized by cartilage degeneration, joint dysfunction, and chronic pain. We previously developed a bone morphogenetic protein 7 derived peptide p[63-82], which may be a novel disease-modifying treatment option for OA. In this study we aimed to optimize the bioactivity and biostability of this peptide in the intra-articular...
