Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to investigate the expression and extracellular distribution of fibrillar collagen types I, II, and III in early stage osteoarthritic cartilage in order to elucidate matrix gene expression and cell differentiation in early phases of the disease. Arthroscopically, derived specimens of early stage osteoarthritic articular cartilage were analyzed by histochemistry,...
