Elevated IL-1 Expression Levels in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Spondyloarthitis Patients Might be Linked to Increased Osteoblast Mineralization
Background/Purpose: Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is an immune–mediated inflammatory disease involving the spine and sacroiliac joint. AxSpA is characterized by vertebral trabecular bone loss and progressive…Abstract Number: 1837 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Three-Dimension Culture Of Mesenchymal Stem Cells With Nano-Fiber Scaffold Induces Chondrogenesis and Osteogenesis
Background/Purpose: Development of biologics has made remission a realistic treatment goal in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, once bone or cartilage is destructed treatment…Abstract Number: 3 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate Into Osteoblasts in Response to Inflammation
Background/Purpose: Bone destruction due to enhanced osteoclast differentiation is a common observation in rheumatoid arthritis. It is well known that inflammatory cytokines cause osteoclatogenesis, however,…
