Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with abnormal loading of articular joints. In normal joints physiological loading maintains structure and function of cartilage and chondrocytes within. This is mediated by a process known as mechanotransduc... Read More about NMDA receptor function in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is dependent on β1 integrins.

NMDA receptor expression and activity in osteoarthritic human articular chondrocytes (2008)
Journal Article
Ramage, L., Martel, M., Hardingham, G. E., & Salter, D. M. (2008). NMDA receptor expression and activity in osteoarthritic human articular chondrocytes. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 16(12), 1576-1584. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2008.04.023

Objective: Classical neuronal signalling molecules such as substance P and glutamate have been identified in cartilage and have roles in regulation of chondrocyte function. This study looks at expression and activity of the ionotropic glutamate NMDA... Read More about NMDA receptor expression and activity in osteoarthritic human articular chondrocytes.
