## Abstract Damage or loss of the meniscus is associated with progressive osteoarthritic degeneration of the knee joint. Injured and degenerative joints are characterized by elevated levels of the proβinflammatory cytokine interleukinβ1 (ILβ1), which with prolonged exposure can induce catabolic and
## Background: In the current study, the authors investigated the effects of synthetic low molecular weight inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) on the expression and activation of mmp-2 in a three-dimensional tissue system. ## Methods: Rabbit periosteal explants were cultured with or w
