Superficial zone cellularity is deficient in mice lacking lubricin: a stereoscopic analysis

BACKGROUND: Lubricin, a mucinous glycoprotein secreted by synoviocytes and chondrocytes plays an important role in reducing the coefficient of friction in mammalian joints. Elevated cartilage surface friction is thought to cause chondrocyte loss; however, its quantification and methodological approa...
