## Abstract ## Objective Pathologic mineralization is common in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage and may be mediated by extracellular organelles known as articular cartilage vesicles (ACVs). Paradoxically, ACVs isolated from OA human cartilage mineralize poorly in vitro compared with those isolated f
Transglutaminases (TGases) (E.C. 2.3.2.13) catalyze a posttranslational modification of proteins and are associated with biomineralization in growth plate cartilage. Type I1 TGase participates in the activation of latent transforming growth factor P (TGFP), a crucial factor for both normal cartilage
## Abstract ## Objective Articular cartilage vesicles (ACVs) are extracellular organelles found in normal articular cartilage. While they were initially defined by their ability to generate pathologic calcium crystals in cartilage of osteoarthritis (OA) patients, they can also alter the phenotype
