Tankyrase inhibition preserves osteoarthritic cartilage by coordinating cartilage matrix anabolism via effects on SOX9 PARylation

Osteoarthritis results from the progressive destruction of cartilage matrix. Here, Kim et al. identify tankyrase as a regulator of cartilage matrix anabolism, and find that tankyrase inhibition, by preventing SOX9 PARylation, protects from cartilage destruction in a mouse model of osteoarthritis.
