Chondrocyte fatty acid oxidation drives osteoarthritis via SOX9 degradation and epigenetic regulation

Abstract Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent age-related degenerative joint disease and is closely linked to obesity. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that altered lipid metabolism in chondrocytes, particularly enhanced fatty acid oxidation (FAO), contributes to osteo...
