    Disrupting the Indian hedgehog signaling pathway in vivo attenuates surgically induced osteoarthritis progression in Col2a1-CreER T2 ; Ihhfl/fl mice

    Previous observations implicate Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling in osteoarthritis (OA) development because it regulates chondrocyte hypertrophy and matrix metallopeptidase 13 (MMP-13) expression. However, ther...

    Attenuation of osteoarthritis via blockade of the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway

    This study was performed to evaluate the attenuation of osteoarthritic (OA) pathogenesis via disruption of the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) signaling with AMD31...

    Apoptosis and rheumatoid arthritis: Past, present, and future directions

    The current studies of apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suggest that molecules (Fas-related or TNF-related), pathways (activation of pro-apoptosis or anti-apoptosis pathway), cell types (lymphocytes or s...

    Apoptosis

    Apoptosis is a physiologic process that mediates the death of selected cells. In contrast to necrosis, which results from a strong nonspecific or toxic cell injury, apoptosis is initiated by ligand—receptor in...
