The ECM-Cell Interaction of Cartilage Extracellular Matrix on Chondrocytes

The ECM-Cell Interaction of Cartilage Extracellular Matrix on Chondrocytes

Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed primarily of the network type II collagen (COLII) and an interlocking mesh of fibrous proteins and proteoglycans (PGs), hyaluronic acid (HA), and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Articular cartilage ECM plays a crucial role in regulating chondrocyte metaboli...
