Bone morphogenetic protein 2 / SMAD signalling in human ligamentocytes of degenerated and aged anterior cruciate ligaments

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 / SMAD signalling in human ligamentocytes of degenerated and aged anterior cruciate ligaments

Abstract Objective Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) degeneration leads to knee instability and favours osteoarthritis (OA) progression. During ageing the growth factor sensitivity of ligaments changes but nothing is known about BMP2-signalling and -sensitivity in degenerated ACLs. This study address...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objective Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) degeneration leads to knee instability and favours osteoarthritis (OA) progression. During ageing the growth factor sensitivity of ligaments changes but nothing is known about BMP2-signalling and -sensitivity in degenerated ACLs. This study addressed the question whether a dysregulated BMP2 signalling might contribute to age- and OA-dependent ACL degeneration. Method ACL samples from patients with/without OA of different ages (
