The ICRS is the main forum for international collaboration in cartilaginous tissue research and joint preservation.

The ICRS is a charitable medical association, founded in 1997 and envisages the scientific research and the exchange of knowledge among physicians, scientists, patients and industry in the field of Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Recognizing that there is a continuum from cartilage injury to degenerative joint disease we bring together basic scientists, clinical researchers, physicians, other healthcare providers and members of industry, engaged or interested in the field of articular biology, its genetic basis and regenerative medicine. We seek to improve our patients´ quality of life, decrease their disability and reduce the impact of degenerative joint disease on healthcare systems worldwide by preserving joints and maintaining function. The Society has currently 1200 active members from 65 countries. Our Mission is: Advancing Science & Education of the Prevention & Treatment of Cartilage Disease Worldwide

S*x hormones are increasingly recognized as important regulators of cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA).

A recent review highlights the roles of estrogens, androgens and progesterone, together with their receptors ERα, ERβ, GPER, AR and PR, in regulating chondrocyte biology and joint tissue responses.

Estrogen signaling has been associated with extracellular matrix synthesis, inflammatory regulation, chondrocyte survival and modulation of cartilage-degrading enzymes, while androgen signaling may influence anabolic pathways involving SOX9, type II collagen and aggrecan. Progesterone and its receptors are less extensively studied but may also contribute to cartilage metabolism and inflammatory regulation.

Importantly, these effects are s*x-, receptor-, tissue- and disease-stage dependent, highlighting the complexity of hormonal regulation in OA and its potential relevance for future personalized approaches.
