Catabolic cytokine and anabolic growth factor pathways control destruction and repair in osteoarthritis (OA). A unidirectional TNF-alpha/IL-1-driven cytokine cascade disturbs the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix of articular cartilage in OA. Although chondrocytes in OA cartilage overexpress anabolic insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and its specific receptor (IGFRI) autocrine TNF-alpha re...
متن کاملInvestigation of collagen architecture in diseases of temporomandibular joint
Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a stress bearing structure. Its resilience and functions are supported by collagen architecture. Visualization of this collagen networking can be done under polarizing microscope. This network gets modified in a variety of conditions affecting the TMJ likeankylosis, degenerative joint disorder, neoplastic conditions, trauma and ageing. The objective ...
