| Research Abstract |
It has been reported that" calcifying nanoparticles(CNPs)" induce local inflammation and cell death around them in the human bodies. This study showed that synovial fluid of patients who suffered from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis contained nanoparticles those sizes were less than 1000nm. The size of nanoparticles from osteoarthritis was less than 100nm, and therefore they were thought to be" calcifying nanoparticles" and they could play significant roles in calcification and ossification around the osteoarthritic joints.
