Censoring exosomal crosstalk in osteoarthritis |April 15 2021 | Nature Aging Ingrid Meulenbelt, Yolande F. M. Ramos, S. Rubina Baglio & D. Michiel Pegtel Abstract Using mouse models of osteoarthritis (OA), a new study finds that osteoclasts secrete exosomes that deliver miRNAs to chondrocytes, leading to an increase in metalloproteinase activity in cartilage. A bone-specific inhibitor [...]
