found that lubricin prevented wear and reduced friction by surface grafting lubricin-infused hyaluronic acid and hyaluronic acid. Raj et al. (2017) anchored cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) ...

Figure 1. Full activation of MGP (matrix Gla protein) requires 2 posttranslational modifications, that is, vitamin K–dependent carboxylation of glutamate at positions 2, 37, 41, 48, and 52 and serine ...

Until 2003, only two main protein import pathways into the inner membrane and matrix were known. Since then, the studies on mitochondrial protein biogenesis have received a major boost with the ...

During OA-E, the calcified cartilage was hypermineralised, containing stiffer carbonated hydroxyapatite (HAp). During OA-A, it was hypomineralised and contained softer HAp. This discrepancy may be ...

These secrete large amounts of the cartilage extracellular matrix, which contains collagen and proteoglycans. Cartilage has limited repair capacity once damaged.

People with diabetes should eat as much protein as people who don't have diabetes. In a healthy diet, roughly 10% to 35% of your daily calories should come from protein. Protein itself does not have ...

The hospital’s research focuses on the use of biomarkers, specifically the serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), to detect osteoarthritis in its nascent stages. By measuring the ...

Before choosing the best protein powders, our testers and dietitians evaluated more than 100 different animal-based and whey protein powders, considering factors like ingredients, taste ...

This thick fluid may help ease pain and swelling in your knee. The bones that make up your joints normally have a cap of cartilage on their ends. This cartilage helps make sure that your bones move ...
