Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage and limited capacity for intrinsic repair. A major barrier to developing effective regenerative strategies is the incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating chondrogenesis and cartilage maintenance. Cell surface proteins are key mediators of extracellular communication, adhesion, and signaling, yet the chondrogenic surfaceome remains incompletely mapped, with prior studies focusing primarily on mature or cytokine-activated chondrocytes. The aim of this study was to provide a temporal profile of the surfaceome during in vitro chondrogenic differentiation and to identify novel membrane proteins with potential roles in cartilage biology.
