Elevated Levels of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein during In Vitro Cartilage Matrix Generation Decrease Collagen Fibril Diameter

Elevated Levels of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein during In Vitro Cartilage Matrix Generation Decrease Collagen Fibril Diameter

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a protein present in the cartilage matrix and is expressed more abundantly in osteoarthritis cartilage than in healthy cartilage. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) on COMP deposition and the i...
