Obesity alters the collagen organization and mechanical properties of murine cartilage
Abstract Osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease characterized by cartilage degradation and altered cartilage mechanical properties. Furthermore, it is well established that obesity is a primary risk factor for osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of obesity on...

Abstract Osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease characterized by cartilage degradation and altered cartilage mechanical properties.
