Identification of biomarkers associated with pyroptosis and autophagy in facet joint osteoarthritis

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

Our study identified CD274, DDX3X, Caspase-8, and MAPK14 in chondrocyte and articular cartilage of articular process with pyroptosis and autophagy in FJOA.
