The alarmins high mobility group box protein 1 and S100A8/A9 display different inflammatory profiles after acute knee injury
Objective: To compare the concentrations of high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and S100A8/A9 in synovial fluid between patients with knee injuries and osteoarthritis (OA), and knee healthy subjects. To investigate associations of alarmin levels with different joint injuries and with biomarkers of inflammation, Wnt signaling, complement system, bone and cartilage degradation. Methods: HMGB1
