Osteoarthritic Synovial Fluid Modulates Cell Phenotype and Metabolic Behavior In Vitro
Synovial fluid holds a population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) that could be used for clinical treatment. Our goal was to characterize the inflammatory and metabolomic profile of the synovial fluid from osteoarthritic patients and to identify its ...

Plasma and Synovial Fluid VEGF-A and Neuropilin-1 in Knee Osteoarthritis: Associations With Radiographic Severity, Pain Sensitization-Related Features, and Disease Burden. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate associations of plasma and synovial fluid vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‐A) and neuropilin‐1 (NRP1) levels with radiographic severity, pain sensitization‐related features, and disease burden in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Plasma VEGF‐A and NRP1 were measured by sandwich ELISA in 120 patients with KOA (
