Osteoclast‐Derived SLIT3 Mediates Osteoarthritis Pain and Degenerative Changes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In TMJ‐OA, osteoclasts play a significant role in promoting the growth of sensory nerves at the osteochondral interface. In early OA, TRAP+ osteoclast‐derived SLIT3 induces sensory nerve growth into the condylar cartilage. This nerve growth facilitates the development of pain associated with OA.
