Moderate dynamic compression inhibits pro-catabolic response of cartilage to mechanical injury, TNF-α and IL-6, but accentuates degradation above a strain threshold

Moderate dynamic compression inhibits pro-catabolic response of cartilage to mechanical injury, TNF-α and IL-6, but accentuates degradation above a strain threshold

Objective Traumatic joint injury can initiate early cartilage degeneration in the presence of elevated inflammatory cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6). The positive/negative effects of post-injury dynamic loading on cartilage degradation and repair in vivo are not...
