Proteases have been postulated to account for the progressive disappearance of matrix proteoglycans in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage. The digestion of endogenous proteoglycans by neutral proteases in human OA cartilage homogenates has been measured and compared with that of normal age-matched contro

## Abstract The study was designed to determine the contents and distributions of the proteoglycans decorin and biglycan in adult human femoral condylar cartilage and whether these may change in osteoarthritis. New radioimmunoassays were established using peptides representing the amino‐terminal 21
The purpose of this study was to test whether cartilage serves as the source or repository of antigenic components active in the stimulation of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis through an analysis of peripheral blood lymphocyte proliferation. Articular cartilage samples were obtained from patien
## 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
## Abstract Tetracyclines were reported to slow down the progression of cartilage damage both in an animal model of osteoarthritis (OA) and in humans. In search for the underlying mechanisms we examined whether tetracyclines possess an inhibitory potential on the activity of aggrecanases and inflam
