  [Abstract] Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal and multi-differentiation, and for this reason they are considered a potential cellular source in regenerative medicine of cartilage ...

• Proteomic analysis of synovial fibroblasts and articular chondrocytes co-cultures reveals valuable VIP-modulated inflammatory and degradative proteins in osteoarthritis 

  Pérez-García, Selene; Calamia, Valentina; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Gutiérrez-Cañas, Irene; Carrión, Mar; Villanueva-Romero, Raúl; Castro, David; Martínez, Carmen; Juarranz, Yasmina; Blanco García, Francisco J; Gomariz, Rosa P. (MDPI, 2021-06-16)

  [Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder causing a great disability and a reduction in the quality of life. In OA, articular chondrocytes (AC) and synovial fibroblasts (SF) release ...

  Vázquez-Mosquera, María E.; Fernández-Moreno, Mercedes; Cortés-Pereira, Estefanía; Relaño, Sara; Dalmao-Fernández, Andrea; Ramos-Louro, Paula; Durán Sotuela, Alejandro; Rego-Pérez, Ignacio; Blanco García, Francisco J (Frontiers, 2021-06-15)

  [Abstract] The association between obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) in joints not subjected to mechanical overload, together with the relationship between OA and metabolic syndrome, suggests that there are systemic factors ...

• Identification of a distinct lipidomic profile in the osteoarthritic synovial membrane by mass spectrometry imaging 

  Rocha Loureda, Beatriz; Cillero-Pastor, B.; Ruiz-Romero, Cristina; Paine, Martin R.L.; Cañete, Juan D.; Heeren, Ron M.A.; Blanco García, Francisco J (Elsevier, 2021-05)

  [Abstract] Objective: Synovial inflammation is one of the most characteristic events in different types of arthritis, including Osteoarthritis (OA). Emerging evidence also suggests the involvement of lipids in the regulation ...

• Mitochondrial DNA from osteoarthritic patients drives functional impairment of mitochondrial activity: a study on transmitochondrial cybrids 

  Dalmao-Fernández, Andrea; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Lund, Jenny; Vázquez-Mosquera, María E.; Rego-Pérez, Ignacio; Garesse, Rafael; Blanco García, Francisco J; Fernández-Moreno, Mercedes (Elsevier, 2022-05)

  [Abstract] With the redefinition of osteoarthritis (OA) and the understanding that the joint behaves as an organ, OA is now considered a systemic illness with a low grade of chronic inflammation. Mitochondrial dysfunction ...
