## Abstract Kynurenine, the major degradation product of tryptophan has been shown to directly damage various tissues. Its potential contribution to septic arthritis is unknown. In this study, we analyzed the putative diagnostic value of kynurenine for bacterial joint infection and its potential ha
We investigated the role of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) as regulating factors of cartilage metabolism in human synovial fluid (SF), using a bovine explant culture system that was shown to respond to recombinant IGF-1 in vitro. SF from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and from control patien
Synovial fluids (SF) contain inhibitors capable of neutralizing the activity of proteases secreted by inflammatory cells and fibroblasts. To further define a potential role for SF polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) in mediating joint destruction, peripheral blood PMN were suspended in SF and incuba
