Costello J, Rosenthal A, Kurup I, Masuda I, Medhora M, Ryan L
Connect Tissue Res . 2010 Jul; 52(2):139-46. PMID: 20604715
Objective: Extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (ePPi) is a key regulator of pathologic mineralization in articular cartilage. Articular chondrocytes generate ePPi by the transportation of intracellular PPi (iPPi) through transport mechanisms such...
