Beyond Inflammation: Why Understanding the Brain Matters in Inflammatory Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Persistent pain remains a major challenge in inflammatory arthritis, even when joint inflammation is well controlled. Pain and associated symptoms such as fatigue cannot be explained by peripheral inflammation alone but reflect altered central pain processing. These changes may arise through “top‐down” mechanisms, reflecting pre‐existing dysfunction in

A Spatially Resolved View on the Aging Substantia nigra: An Exploratory Proteomic Study

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Although aging is the most important risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, the molecular effects of physiological aging are still understudied. By applying spatially‐resolved proteomic analyses of the human substantia nigra pars compacta, alterations in vesicular trafficking and mitochondrial proteins are observed, as well as reduced ...
