## Abstract We evaluated the role of CCL20 (MIPโ3ฮฑ) chemokine in cells directly involved in the remodeling of bone tissue (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) and we confirmed its expression in the subchondral bone tissue of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The expression of CCL20 and of its receptor C

## Abstract Subchondral bone remodeling in osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is mainly characterized by the formation of osteophytes/fibrosis and by the presence of infiltrating cells associated to bone resorption. In this study we analyzed CC (cysteine cysteine motif) chemokine lig
## Abstract Chemokines are involved in a number of inflammatory pathologies and some of them show a pivotal role in the modulation of osteoclast development. Therefore, we evaluated the role of CXCL12 chemokine on osteoclast differentiation and function and we analyzed its expression on synovial an
A study has been carried out on the alkaline phosphatase activity in trabecular bone in the normal state, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Samples were taken from the subchondral bone of the medial tibial condyle in all cases. The reason for this study was to investigate whether changes in r
