Proteomic profiling of human menisci from mild joint degeneration and end-stage osteoarthritis versus healthy controls
Objective: To gain new insight into the molecular changes of the meniscus by comparing the proteome profiles of healthy controls with mild degeneration and end-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Method: We obtained tissue plugs from lateral and medial menisci of 37 individuals (central part of the posterior horn) classified as healthy (n = 12), mild signs of joint damage (n = 13) and end-stage OA (n
