Loss of Cartilage Structure, Stiffness, and Frictional Properties in Mice Lacking PRG4

OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of the glycoprotein PRG4 in joint lubrication and chondroprotection by measuring friction, stiffness, surface topography, and subsurface histology of the hip joints of Prg4(−/−) and wild-type (WT) mice. METHODS: Friction and elastic modulus were measured in cartilage fr...
