- Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by erosion of cartilage and formation of osteophytes. Since transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is known to be involved in chondrogenesis and osteogenesis, we studied by immunochemistry the expression of TGF-beta isoform types 1, 2, and 3 and their receptor types I and II in slightly and strongly altered areas of human OA cartilage and in osteophytes.
