Ablation of NF1 function in neurons induces abnormal development of cerebral cortex and reactive gliosis in the brain.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a prevalent genetic disorder that affects growth properties of neural-crest-derived cell populations. In addition, approximately one-half of NF1 patients exhibit… Expand

Potential mechanism of action of intra-articular hyaluronan therapy in osteoarthritis: are the effects molecular weight dependent?
BACKGROUND Hyaluronan, or hyaluronic acid (HA), is the major hydrodynamic nonprotein component of joint synovial fluid (SF). Its unique viscoelastic properties confer remarkable shock absorbing and… Expand

Inhibitors of both nuclear factor-kappaB and activator protein-1 activation block the neoplastic transformation response.
Cross-coupling of active protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB has been reported. In the present study, we investigated the possibility that both of these two transcription factors might… Expand

Calcium pentosan polysulfate is a multifaceted exosite inhibitor of aggrecanases
Degradation of the cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan is a key early event in the development of osteoarthritis. Adamalysin with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) −4 and ADAMTS‐5 are considered to be the… Expand

Induction of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -3 activity in ovine nucleus pulposus cells grown in three-dimensional agarose gel culture by interleukin-1β: a potential pathway of disc degeneration
Abstract. Degeneration of the intervertebral disc is an important clinical problem, which often contributes to low back pain. Since approximately 80–90% of the general population will be subject to… Expand
