Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In osteoarthritis of the knee, RNA-seq will be performed on meniscal tissue from groups with severe meniscal extrusion and groups with mild/no meniscal extrusion to clarify differences in cell subset composition, gene expression profiles, and signaling networks, thereby elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of meniscal extrusion.
