Abstract excerpt

Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed primarily of type II collagen and large, link stabilized aggregates of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (aggrecan). Maturation and function of these complex macromolecules are dependent upon sequential processing events which oc...
