Matrix metalloproteinase induction by relaxin causes cartilage matrix degradation in target synovial joints.

30 Mar 2009 Our long-term goal is to understand the mechanisms by which relaxin and estrogen potentially contribute to joint diseases, particularly those afflicting the fibrocartilaginous temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Previously, we showed that relaxin ... Read more...

Relationship between biochemical markers and radiographic scores in the evaluation of the osteoarticular status of Warmblood stallions.

16 Mar 2009 Establishing the osteoarticular status of the horse is often performed by means of radiological screening of the animals. Widespread blood sampling could reveal to be an interesting alternative to this procedure which is time consuming and sometimes ... Read more...

GATA-3 protects against severe joint inflammation and bone erosion and reduces differentiation of Th17 cells during experimental arthritis.

27 Feb 2009 OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with the infiltration of T helper cells into the joints. It is unclear whether interferon-gamma (IFNgamma)-producing Th1 cells or the novel T helper subset, interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing Th17 cells, ... Read more...
