    • Generation and Characterization of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) From Hand Osteoarthritis Patient-Derived Fibroblasts 

      Castro Viñuelas, Rocío; Sanjurjo-Rodríguez, Clara; Piñeiro-Ramil, María; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Rodríguez-Fernández, Silvia; Oreiro, Natividad; De-Toro, Javier; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; Blanco García, Francisco J; Díaz-Prado, Silvia (Nature Research, 2020-03-06)
      [Abstract] Knowledge and research results about hand osteoarthritis (hOA) are limited due to the lack of samples and animal models of the disease. Here, we report the generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell ...
    • Influence of Age on Rat Bone-Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Potential 

      Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio; Fernández-Pernas, Pablo; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; De-Toro, Javier; Oreiro, Natividad; Sangiao-Alvarellos, Susana; Mateos, Jesús; Arufe, M.C. (Nature, 2015-11-19)
      [Abstract] Mesenchymal stem cells promising role in cell-based therapies and tissue engineering appears to be limited due to a decline of their regenerative potential with increasing donor age. Six age groups from bone ...
