A novel procedure for protein extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues
(Wiley, 2011-05-18)
[Abstract] Most of the archived pathological specimens in hospitals are kept as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPE) for long-term preservation. Up to now, these samples are only used for immunohistochemistry ...
Effect of hydrogen sulfide sources on inflammation and catabolic markers on interleukin 1β-stimulated human articular chondrocytes
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
[Abstract] Objective. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter together with NO and CO, is emerging as a regulator of inflammation. To test if it might offer therapeutic value in the treatment of osteoarthritis ...
A single nucleotide polymorphism in the Il17ra promoter is associated with functional severity of ankylosing spondylitis
(PLoS, 2016-07-14)
[Abstract] The aim of this study was to identify new genetic variants associated with the severity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We sequenced the exome of eight patients diagnosed with AS, selected on the basis of the ...
Translation of clinical problems in osteoarthritis into pathophysiological research goals
(BMJ, 2016-05-26)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) accounts for more disability among the elderly than any other disease and is associated with an increased mortality rate. The prevalence in Europe will rise in the future since this continent ...
Proteomic profiling of human menisci from mild joint degeneration and end-stage osteoarthritis versus healthy controls
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
[Abstract] Objective. To gain new insight into the molecular changes of the meniscus by comparing the proteome profiles of healthy controls with mild degeneration and end-stage osteoarthritis (OA).
Method. We obtained ...
All-trans retinoic acid inhibits migration and invasiveness of rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes
(American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), 2020-02)
[Abstract] Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) are pivotal in inflammation and joint damage of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They acquire an active and aggressive phenotype, displaying increased migration and invasiveness and ...
Sexual Dysfunction in Ostomized Patients: A Systematized Review
(MDPI, 2021-04-29)
[Abstract]
The impact of an ostomy has a negative influence on sexuality. Healthcare professionals focus the care on surgery, and consider the sexual life is little relevant to the patient recovery. The aim of this ...
Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups associated with MRI-detected structural damage in early knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2018-07-20)
[Abstract] Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected structural features are associated with increased risk of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA). Specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups have been associated ...
Biodistribution and Immunogenicity of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Rat Model of Intraarticular Chondrocyte Xenotransplantation
(Frontiers, 2017-11-06)
[Abstract] Xenogeneic chondrocytes and allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are considered a potential source of cells for articular cartilage repair. We here assessed the immune response triggered by xenogeneic ...
OARSI Guidelines for the Non-Surgical Management of Knee, Hip, and Polyarticular Osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
[Abstract] Objective: To update and expand upon prior Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) guidelines by developing patient-focused treatment recommendations for individuals with Knee, Hip, and Polyarticular ...
