Chondrocytes From Osteoarthritic and Chondrocalcinosis Cartilage Represent Different Phenotypes
Basic calcium phosphate (BCP)-based calcification of cartilage is a common finding during osteoarthritis (OA) and is directly linked to the severity of the disease and hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes.
