Electroacupuncture Upregulates HIF-1α and SOX9 Expression in Knee Osteoarthritis

Electroacupuncture (EA) has been clinically used in knee osteoarthritis broadly and proved to be effective than other therapies with fewer side effects; however, the mechanism of electroacupuncture to work on cartilage remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of EA treatment o...
