Mechanosensitive Control of Articular Cartilage and Subchondral Bone Homeostasis Requires Osteocytic TGF β Signaling
ConclusionOur results provide new evidence that osteocytic TGF β signaling is required for a mechanosensitive response to injury, and that osteocytes control SBP homeostasis to maintain cartilage health, uncovering osteocytic TGFβ signaling as a novel therapeutic target for OA.
