Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Assay of collagenase activity involves the use of radiolabeled collagen. Stimulation of cartilage with proinflammatory cytokines results in the upregulation of collagenases and the subsequent release of degraded collagen fragments. These enzymes can be localized in both osteoarthritic and rheumatoid arthritis cartilage and synovial tissues.
