Excerpt

Cartilage is a highly organised tissue where the arrangement of collagen and proteoglycan and minor components is carefully controlled. The chondrocytes maintain a precise balance between anabolic and catabolic processes that maintains this extracellular matrix. Proteoglycan removal is rapid and reversible while collagen removal is slower but, once removed, is difficult to replace. Our main research focus is to discover the mechanism of collagen turnover and we study the members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family that specifically cleave type II collagen to give characteristic one-quarter and three-quarter fragments; MMP-1, MMP-8, MMP-13 and also MMP-2 and MMP-14 cleave in this way. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
