## Abstract ## Objective Few data exist concerning the natural history of lumbar spine disc degeneration and associated risk factors. We therefore undertook this study to examine the radiographic progression of lumbar spine disc degeneration over the course of 9 years in a populationβbased incepti
## Abstract ## Objective To investigate whether radiologic spine disc degeneration is associated with increased type II collagen (CII) degradation products in the urine of postmenopausal women, independently of radiologic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and clinical hand OA. ## Methods The study group
Objective. To investigate the expression and function of Fas ligand (FasL),which can be in a membranebound or soluble form, in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. The concentration of soluble FasL (sFasL) in serum and synovial fluid (SF) from 24 O
## Abstract ## Objective To examine the pathogenetic mechanisms of osteoarthritis (OA)βlike changes in Col9a1^β/β^ mice, which are deficient in type IX collagen. ## Methods Knee joints and temporomandibular joints (TMJs) from Col9a1^β/β^ mice and their wildβtype (Col9a1^+/+^) littermates were ex
