Transcript-dependent effects of the CALCA gene on the progression of post-traumatic osteoarthritis in mice

Abstract Osteoarthritis represents a chronic degenerative joint disease with exceptional clinical relevance. Polymorphisms of the CALCA gene, giving rise to either a procalcitonin/calcitonin (PCT/CT) or a calcitonin gene-related peptide alpha (αCGRP) transcript by alternative splicing, were reported...
