Investigating a novel CXCR4 inhibitor in the context of osteoarthritis
Objectives: In the osteoarthritic (OA) knee joint, CXCL12 is primarily produced by synoviocytes in elevated levels. Human articular chondrocytes (hAC) represent potential recipient cells expressing the corresponding receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7. In vivo studies indicate that CXCL12 favors OA progression [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
