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 ...
Assessment of osteoarthritis candidate genes in a meta-analysis of nine genome-wide association studies
(Wiley, 2013-12-10)
[Abstract] Objective: To assess candidate genes for association with osteoarthritis (OA) and identify promising genetic factors and, secondarily, to assess the candidate gene approach in OA.
Methods: A total of 199 ...
Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Dysfunction Modulates Metalloproteases -1, -3 and -13 in Human Normal Chondrocytes in Culture
(BioMed Central, 2013-08-09)
[Abstract] Background. Mitochondrion has an important role in the osteoarthritis (OA) pathology. We have previously demonstrated that the alteration of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) contributes to the inflammatory ...
Evaluación económica de la monoterapia con tocilizumab frente a adalimumab en artritis reumatoide
(Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar Social, 2013)
[Resumen] Fundamento: Tocilizumab (TCZ) fue superior a adalimumab (ADA) en monoterapia en la reducción de los signos y síntomas de la artritis reumatoide del adulto (AR) en pacientes intolerantes o con respuesta inadecuada ...
Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup H as a risk factor for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in Spanish population
(Elsevier, 2013-03-23)
[Abstract] Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is a structural heart disease with strong genetic background. The different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that constitute mitochondrial haplogroups could play an ...
Nitric Oxide Compounds Have Different Effects Profiles on Human Articular Chondrocyte Metabolism
(BioMed Central, 2013-09-11)
[Abstract] Introduction. The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the production of high amounts of nitric oxide (NO), as a consequence of up-regulation of chondrocyte-inducible nitric oxide synthase ...
A Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies Identifies Novel Variants Associated with Osteoarthritis of the Hip
(BMJ, 2013-08-29)
[Abstract] OBJECTIVES:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis with a clear genetic component. To identify novel loci associated with hip OA we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies ...
Human amniotic membrane: a potential tissue and cell source for cell therapy and regenerative medicine
(Springer, 2013)
[Abstract] The human amniotic membrane (HAM) is the innermost membrane surrounding the fetus. HAM is a highly abundant and readily available tissue that is becoming appreciated as an alternative to adult bone marrow ...
Effects of severe hypoxia on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation potential
(Hindawi, 2013-06-30)
[Abstract] Background. The interests in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their application in cell therapy have resulted in a better understanding of the basic biology of these cells. Recently hypoxia has been indicated ...
