## Abstract Previous work has shown that alterations in proteoglycan aggregates are among the first changes detected with aging, disuse, and degeneration of articular cartilage, yet the cause or causes of these alterations remain unknown. To determine if differences in link protein concentration ca
The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanisms by which neutral metalloproteoglycanases (NMPE) degrade proteoglycans (PGs) in the cartilage of an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA). We demonstrated that chondrocytes in osteoarthritic cartilage synthesize PGs with the same functional char
