Cartilage degradation is fully reversible in the presence of aggrecanase but not matrix metalloproteinase activity
INTRODUCTION: Physiological and pathophysiological cartilage turnover may coexist in articular cartilage. The distinct enzymatic processes leading to irreversible cartilage damage, compared with those needed for continuous self-repair and regeneration, remain to be identified. We investigated the ca...
