Cartilage boundary lubrication synergism is mediated by hyaluronan concentration and PRG4 concentration and structure
BACKGROUND: Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) and hyaluronan (HA) are key synovial fluid constituents that contribute synergistically to cartilage boundary lubrication; however, the effects of their concentrations as well as their structure, both of which can be altered in osteoarthritis, on this functional syn...
