Abstract:We have previously shown that knockout (KO) mice lacking the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) demonstrate attenuated osteoarthritis (OA) in articular cartilage of the knee. The objective of this research is to discover if knocking out RAGE has a similar protective effect in the condylar cartilage of the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Misalignment of the TMJ of Wild‐type (WT) and RAGE KO mice was performed, and severity of OA was assessed along with immunohistochemical staining of several kno… Show more
