Nerve Growth Factor is Sufficient to Cause Multiple Osteoarthritis‐Relevant Pathologic Features in Naïve Murine Knee Joints

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped because of side effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biologic effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited. Therefore, we explored the effects

Heterogeneity in pericyte inflammatory responses across age and species highlight the importance of human cell models

Molecular Brain
Pericytes in the central nervous system are essential for maintaining blood-brain barrier function, regulating blood flow, modulating immune responses, and interacting closely with surrounding cells of the neurovascular unit to support brain homeostasis.

Chondrogenic and adipogenic potential of microvascular pericytes

, 2004
Background - Previous studies have shown that pericytes can differentiate into osteoblasts and form bone. This study investigated whether pericytes can also differentiate into chondrocytes and adipocytes.

Comparative transcriptional profiling of key macrophage and fibroblast subpopulations in rheumatoid arthritis‐associated lung disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often involves extra‐articular complications, including interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pulmonary nodules. Transcriptomic profiling of lung tissue provides the opportunity to directly assess cell‐specific gene expression and corresponding pathway activation in different types of rheumatoid lung disease ...

Immunoregulatory Roles of Tumor‐Originated Pericytes Identified by Single‐Cell Analysis in Glioblastoma

Advanced Science
Pericytes as critical vascular support cells not only keep the integrity of blood–brain barrier but also play profound roles in brain tumors. Yet the origin and functional heterogeneity of pericytes in the most common malignant brain tumor glioblastoma ...

Pericytes in Muscular Dystrophies

, 2019
The muscular dystrophies are an heterogeneous group of inherited myopathies characterised by the progressive wasting of skeletal muscle tissue. Pericytes have been shown to make muscle in vitro and to contribute to skeletal muscle regeneration in several animal models, although recent data has shown this to be controversial.

Brain microvascular pericytes in health and disease

, 2011
Pericytes are located at periphery of the microvessel wall and wrap it with their processes. They communicate with other cells of the neurovascular unit by direct contact or through signaling pathways and regulate several important microcirculatory ...

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...
