Aggrecan fragments as biomarkers in osteoarthritis
Background: In osteoarthritis (OA) the balance of cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation is disturbed, resulting in a gradual destruction of the articular cartilage. Matrix components released into body fluids by proteolytic cleavage can be used as biomarkers of ongoing processes. This thesis …

Developing a Senomorphic Treatment Strategy in Osteoarthritis
<p>Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the population worldwide, resulting in significant disabilities. Currently, no treatments can prevent or reverse the development of OA. Cellular senescence has been identified as a major contributing factor to OA. Therefore, a therapy …

Mouse models of osteoarthritis and joint injury
Nearly 21 million Americans are affected by osteoarthritis, a complex disease characterized by degenerative lesions to the articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the joints. The complexity of the disease makes the use of human models impractical and complicated. Therefore, various animal …

Knee Osteoarthritis: gagCEST MR Imaging of Articular Cartilage
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a public health problem that involves the disorder of articular cartilage. Until now, there is no effective cure for it. However, beginning treatments and therapies at an early stage can help in preventing further disease progression.It has been reported that the loss of …

Towards improved efficacy of exercise programmes in knee osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal condition influenced by theload on the knee (i.e. External Knee Adduction Moment (EKAM)). Clinicalguidelines recommend exercise and education with knee OA. Open kinetic chainstrengthening exercises of the knee and/or hip muscles did not change …
