This study identifies podocalyxin and ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor as novel surfaceome components in chondrogenic cells, with distinct roles in extracellular matrix signaling and cartilage biology.

This study examines the temporal transcriptomic changes during in vitro chondrogenesis using RNA sequencing and identifies key transcription factors involved in cartilage formation.

The paper shows that pro-inflammatory cytokines reduce sCLU secretion and expression in cartilage models, suggesting sCLU as a biomarker for cartilage degradation in OA.
