Subchondral bone in osteoarthritis: insight into risk factors and microstructural changes

TL;DR: Basic features of the osteochondral junction, which comprises subchondral bone and articular cartilage, are summarized and a hypothetical model for the pathogenesis of OA is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NF-κB signalling pathway in osteoarthritis

TL;DR: The involvement of NF-κB in OA pathogenesis and how pharmacological inhibition of the NF-πB signalling pathway affects OA incidence and evolution are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interplay between cartilage and subchondral bone contributing to pathogenesis of osteoarthritis

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the major signaling pathways that could control the cartilage-bone biochemical unit in joints and participate in intercellular communication between cartilage and subchondral bone during the process of OA are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone-cartilage interface crosstalk in osteoarthritis: potential pathways and future therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: The premise for the presence of crosstalk in bone-cartilage interface as well as the current knowledge of the major signalling pathways and molecular interactions that regulate OA progression are summarised.

Role of subchondral bone in the initiation and progression of cartilage damage.

TL;DR: In certain models of osteoarthrosis, alterations of the bony bed occur before the cartilage changes and suggest that this can occur in clinical conditions.

Articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis

TL;DR: This review focuses on the specific articular cartilage and skeletal features of OA and the putative mechanisms involved in their pathogenesis.

Bidirectional ephrinB2-EphB4 signaling controls bone homeostasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ephrin-Eph bidirectional signaling links two major molecular mechanisms for cell differentiation--one in osteoclasts and the other in osteoblasts--thereby maintaining bone homeostasis.
