Hypoxia-inducible factor expression is related to apoptosis and cartilage degradation in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis
Abstract Background It remains unclear etiology of cartilaginous tissues in osteoarthritis (OA) lesions. In this study, we hypothesized the accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and activated apoptosis relate to condylar cartilage degeneration in vivo. Methods Malocclusion stress was applie...
