Abstract
The mechanism of osteoarthritis is still not completely clear,the current treatment can not effectively prevent the disease from progressing.In order to study osteoarthritis,researchers have developed various models,including in vitro models (two-dimension and three-dimension cell culture models and bioreactor culture models) and in vivo models (spontaneous,genetically modified,invasive and non-invasive models).These models are important tools for studying the mechanism of disease occurrence and development,which can simulate the whole process or a certain stage of pathological changes,as well as evaluating the effect of treatment.This paper reviews the osteoarthritis models and their characteristics in order to provide reference for osteoarthritis research.
