Objective. To determine whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) to produce fragments similar to those found in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with arthritis. Methods. COMP fragments were generated in vitro by treating (a) bovine articular carti

## Abstract An __in vivo__ animal model of bone adaptation was used to examine a possible role for matrix metalloproteinase‐1 in the local mediation of bone remodeling: to corrode the coupling of osteocytes to the matrix in an attempt to autoregulate the cell's perception of its mechanical environm
## Abstract **Background:** Matrix metalloproteinases including MMP‐9 mediate matrix destruction during chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and atherosclerosis. MMP‐9 up‐regulation by inflammatory cytokines involve interactions between several transcription factors including activator p
## Abstract ## Objective S100 proteins have been implicated in various inflammatory conditions, including arthritis. The aims of this study were to determine whether chondrocytes produce S100A4 and whether S100A4 can stimulate the production of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP‐13) by articular cho
