Cardiovascular disease in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases: a cross-sectional analysis of 6 cohorts
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017-06)
[Abstract] To analyze in several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) the influence of demographic and clinical-related variables on the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and compare their standardized ...
The role of osmolarity adjusting agents in the regulation of encapsulated cell behavior to provide a safer and more predictable delivery of therapeutics
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-10-27)
[Abstract] Transplantation of cells within alginate microspheres has been extensively studied for sustained drug delivery. However, the lack of control over cell behavior represents a major concern regarding the efficacy ...
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus reversal via implantation of magnetically purified microencapsulated pseudoislets
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
[Abstract] Microencapsulation of pancreatic islets for the treatment of Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) generates a high quantity of empty microcapsules, resulting in high therapeutic graft volumes that can enhance the ...
Wnt and RUNX2 mediate cartilage breakdown by osteoarthritis synovial fibroblast‐derived ADAMTS‐7 and ‐12
(Wiley, 2019-03-22)
[Abstract] Failure of therapeutic approaches for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) based on the inhibition of metalloproteinases, might be because of their constitutive expression in homeostasis, together with their ...
Lamin A Deregulation in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes an Impairment in their Chondrogenic Potential and Imbalance in their Response to Oxidative Stress
(Elsevier, 2013-07-26)
[Abstract] In the present study, we examined the effect of the over-expression of LMNA, or its mutant form progerin (PG), on the mesoderm differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord ...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and serum levels of anti-oxidant enzymes in patients with osteoarthritis
(BioMed Central, 2011-11-22)
[Abstract] Background: Oxidative stress play a main role in the initiation and progression of the OA disease and leads to the degeneration of mitochondria. To prevent this, the chondrocytes possess a well-coordinated ...
Rheumatoid arthritis response to treatment across IgG1 allotype – anti-TNF incompatibility: a case-only study
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-18)
[Abstract] INTRODUCTION:
We have hypothesized that incompatibility between the G1m genotype of the patient and the G1m1 and G1m17 allotypes carried by infliximab (INX) and adalimumab (ADM) could decrease the efficacy of ...
Leukocyte telomere length in patients with radiographic knee osteoarthritis
(Wiley, 2019-11-29)
[Abstract] Relative mean telomere sequence amount was determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR) of peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) samples obtained at recruitment (n = 310) from individuals from the Osteoarthritis (OA) ...
Senescent synovial fibroblasts accumulate prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis tissues and display an enhanced inflammatory phenotype
(BMC, 2019-11-05)
[Abstract] Background
Accumulation of senescent cells has been associated with pro-inflammatory effects with deleterious consequences in different human diseases. The purpose of this study was to analyze cell senescence ...
