Abstract
This is the first study to examine a common and consistent phenotype of OA to allow direct comparison of damaged and undamaged cartilage from within the same joint compartment. We have identified specific gene expression profiles in damaged and undamaged cartilage and have determined relevant genes and pathways in OA progression. Importantly this work also highlights the necessity for phenotypic and microanatomical characterization of cartilage in future studies of OA pathogenesis and therapeutic development.
