Low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound inhibits VEGFA expression in chondrocytes and protects against cartilage degeneration in experimental osteoarthritis

Low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a noninvasive physical therapy, was recently demonstrated to be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). Vascular endothelium growth factor A (VEGFA) has been found to be upregulated in the articular cartilage, synovium and subchondral bone of OA patie...
