Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage breakdown and disrupted joint homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes contributes to cartilage degeneration, but the mechanisms linking circadian dysregulation to mitochondrial homeostasis in OA remain incompletely understood. ClockΔ19 mice are a well-established model of impaired CLOCK-dependent...
