Loss of mutually protective effects between osteoclasts and chondrocytes in damaged joints drives osteoclast-mediated cartilage degradation via matrix metalloproteinases
2021-01-03
Abstract excerpt
Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells that resorb bone to regulate bone remodelling during skeletal maintenance and development. It is overlooked that osteoclasts also digest cartilage during this process, as well as in degradative conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and primary bone sarcomas such as giant cell tumour of bone. This study explores the poorly understood mechanisms behind t...
