I read with great interest the article by Loyola-Sánchez et al
1
regarding the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the cartilage
repair in osteoarthritis. I would like to complete the discussion of Loyola-Sánchez
by introducing a major route in which LIPUS could repair cartilage in osteoarthritis.- Loyola-Sánchez A.

- PreviewIn response to Namazi's letter, we want to comment that the recent evidence on the positive effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) over the regulation of the proinflammatory interleukin 1 (IL1) verifies the validity of the mechanotransduction theory. This cellular theory explains how living cells convert mechanical stimulus into biochemical responses through a complex process mediated by a large number of extracellular and intracellular structures, such as stretch-activated ion channels and integrins.
