The deformation behavior and mechanical properties of articular chondrocytes are believed to play an important role in their response to mechanical loading of the extracellular matrix. This study utilized the micropipette aspiration test to measure the viscoelastic properties of chondrocytes isolate

## 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
## Abstract We have investigated the expression and synthesis of potential boneβresorbing cytokines, interleukinβ6 (ILβ6), interleukinβ1 (ILβ1), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in rheumatoid arthritic (RA) and osteoarthritic (OA) bone, two common diseases which are associated with bone loss. Primar
