Monosodium Urate Crystal-Induced Chondrocyte Death via Autophagic Process

Monosodium Urate Crystal-Induced Chondrocyte Death via Autophagic Process

Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, which are highly precipitated in the joint cartilage, increase the production of cartilage-degrading enzymes and pro-inflammatory mediators in cartilage, thereby leading to gouty inflammation and joint damage. In this study, we investigated the effect of MSU crystals...
