Abstract:early after injury is mainly from dead or dying cells due to the trauma. HMGB1 detected in synovial fluid at later time points may be due to active release from immune cells and could be a potential contributor to disease progression. These results suggest that HMGB1 release into synovial fluid may be essential to the early inflammatory response to knee trauma and that HMGB1 is a potential target for future therapeutics.Purpose: Lubricin and hyaluronan (HA) are the primary lubricating molecules of articular ca… Show more
