Weight change patterns and healthcare costs in patients with newly-diagnosed type-2 diabetes in Sweden

Aims To describe weight-change pathways in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated healthcare costs using repeated BMI measurements and healthcare utilization data. Methods Patients with newly-diagnosed T2D with body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) at diagnosis and subsequent measures at year 1–3 were identified. Based on three-year BMI change, patients were assigned to one of 27 BMI change pat

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein forms protein complexes with synovial lubricin via non-covalent and covalent interactions

Objective: Understanding the cartilage surface structure, lost in arthritic disease, is essential for developing strategies to effectively restore it. Given that adherence of the lubricating protein, lubricin, to the cartilage surface is critical for boundary lubrication, an interaction with cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) was investigated. COMP, an abundant cartilage protein, is known
