This study shows that repeated NGF injections into mouse knees cause multiple OA-like features without cartilage damage.

The study shows CD14 is critical for pain and inflammation in post-traumatic osteoarthritis and that blocking CD14 can reduce pain and mobility loss.

This study investigates how synovial microenvironment stiffness changes during OA progression and how it affects fibroblast and macrophage behavior through mechanosignaling and cell-cell interactions.

This study shows CD14-deficiency protects against osteoarthritis-related subchondral bone sclerosis by enhancing osteoclastogenesis post-injury in mice.

The paper develops a standardized histopathologic evaluation approach for synovial membrane in murine OA models, showing good inter-reader agreement and consistent findings across stains.
