Animal models of Kashin-Beck disease exposed to environmental risk factors: Methods and comparisons
The main etiological mechanism for Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is deep chondrocyte necrosis induced by environmental risk factors (ERFs). The scholars have conducted several epidemiological, cellular, and animal model studies on ERFs.
