Synergistic transcriptional regulation of collagenase gene expression in chondrocytes

The proteolytic degradation of articular cartilage in load-bearing joints is a key pathological step in the progression of arthritis, a process mediated by enzymes called collagenases (specifically MMP-1 and MMP-13). My research has focused on the transcriptional regulation of these enzymes in carti...
