Articular cartilage is a connective tissue lining the surfaces of synovial joints. When the cartilage severely wears down, it leads to osteoarthritis (OA), a debilitating disease that affects millions of people globally.

Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) mainly damages growth plate of adolescents and is susceptible to both gene and gene–environmental risk factors. HT-2 toxin, which is a primary metabolite of T-2 toxin, was regarded as one of the environmental risk factors of KBD.

LDHA-mediated ROS generation in chondrocytes is a potential therapeutic target for osteoarthritis
The contribution of inflammation to the chronic joint disease osteoarthritis (OA) is unclear, and this lack of clarity is detrimental to efforts to identify therapeutic targets.

The emerging chondrocyte channelome [PDF]
Chondrocytes are the resident cells of articular cartilage and are responsible for synthesizing a range of collagenous and non-collagenous extracellular matrix macromolecules. Whilst chondrocytes exist at low densities in the tissue (1-10% of the total tissue volume in mature cartilage) they are extremely active cells and are capable of responding to a

Chondrocytes in the resting zone of the growth plate are maintained in a Wnt-inhibitory environment
Chondrocytes in the resting zone of the postnatal growth plate are characterized by slow cell cycle progression, and encompass a population of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-expressing skeletal stem cells that contribute to the formation of ...

The aim of the study was to assess the effects of therapeutic ultrasound (US) on oxidative stress (OS)-induced changes in cultured human chondrocytes (HCH). For this, monolayer HCH were randomized in three groups: a control group (CG), a group exposed to

The chondrocyte primary cilium [PDF]
The presence and role of primary, or non-motile, cilia on chondrocytes has confused cartilage researchers for decades. Initial explanations attributed a vestigial nature to chondrocyte cilia. Evidence is now emerging that supports the role of the chondrocyte primary cilium as a sensory organelle, in particular, in mechanotransduction and as a ...

Mechanics of chondrocyte hypertrophy [PDF]
Chondrocyte hypertrophy is a characteristic of osteoarthritis and dominates bone growth. Intra- and extracellular changes that are known to be induced by metabolically active hypertrophic chondrocytes are known to contribute to hypertrophy. However, it is unknown to which extent these mechanical conditions together can be held responsible for the total

Osteoarthritis (OA) causes serious changes in the metabolic and signaling pathways of chondrocytes, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.
