Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and debilitating disease that affects some two thirds of people older than 65 years. Yet how the disease arises and what cellular and molecular changes the cartilage cells undergo in the course of the disease is not well understood. In recent years, bone and bone changes have been invoked as causing or contributing to cartilage destruction.
