Introductory remarks<br />

This manuscript describes the endogenous proteases in human OA cartilage, and the biochemical<br />

markers that are able to assess the different proteolytic pathways for both collagen type II and<br />

aggrecan degradation. More investigation on this topic may have significant value for<br />

development <strong>of</strong> new treatments for OA.<br />
