Molecular signaling in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of TMJ disorders with clinical symptoms of pain, movement limitation, cartilage degeneration and joint dysfunction. This review article is aiming to summarize recent findings on signaling pathways involved in TMJ OA development and progression.Most recent findings in TMJ OA studies have been reviewed and cited.TMJ OA is caused by inflammation, abnormal mechanical loading and genetic...
