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 ...
Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups influence the risk of incident knee osteoarthritis in OAI and CHECK cohorts: a meta-analysis and functional study
(BMJ, 2016-12-05)
[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the influence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups in the risk of incident knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to explain the functional consequences of this association to identify potential ...
Differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells cultured on collagen sponges for cartilage repair
(Sociedad Española de Histología e Ingeniería Tisular, 2016)
[Abstract] Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of human bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) cultured on collagen biomaterials.
Materials and methods: ...
Generating Rho-0 cells using mesenchymal stem cell lines
(PLoS, 2016-10-20)
[Abstract] Introduction, The generation of Rho-0 cells requires the use of an immortalization process, or tumor cell selection, followed by culture in the presence of ethidium bromide (EtBr), incurring the drawbacks its ...
Specific premature epigenetic aging of cartilage in osteoarthritis
(Impact Journals, 2016-09-28)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease affecting multiple tissues of the joints in the elderly, but most notably articular cartilage. Premature biological aging has been described in this tissue and in blood cells, ...
A functional variant of TLR10 modifies the activity of NFkB and may help predict a worse prognosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(Springer, 2016-10-04)
[Abstract] Background. Toll-like receptor (TLR) family members are key players in inflammation. TLR10 has been poorly studied in chronic inflammatory disorders, and its clinical relevance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is ...
Apremilast, an oral phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, in patients with psoriatic arthritis and current skin involvement: a phase III, randomised, controlled trial (PALACE 3)
(BMJ, 2016-01-20)
[Abstract] Objective. To evaluate apremilast treatment in patients with active psoriatic arthritis, including current skin involvement, despite prior therapy with conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and/or ...
3, 3′, 5-triiodo-L-thyronine increases in vitro chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells from human umbilical cord stroma through SRC2
(Wiley, 2016-07-08)
[Abstract] Our group focuses on the study of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord stroma or Warthońs jelly and their directed differentiation toward chondrocyte-like cells capable of regenerating damaged ...
