Abstract
Disruption of the circadian clock is linked to cartilage degeneration in mice and increased osteoarthritis risk in humans.
- Circadian clock disruption is associated with negative effects on cartilage health.
- Ageing may contribute to the deterioration of circadian rhythms in cartilage.
- Heat pulses are being investigated as a potential method to resynchronize circadian rhythms in articular cartilage.
