Objectives Obesity is a risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis (OA) in hands and
knees. Adipose tissue can secrete different adipokines with powerful immunomodulatory effects…

Objective. To get a better understanding of inflammatory pathways active in the osteoarthritic
(OA) joint, we characterized and compared inflammatory cells in the synovium and the …

Remission can be achieved and sustained in (some) JIA patients, regardless of initial treatment.
Cornerstone principles in the management of nonsystemic JIA treatment are early start …

Background Obesity is associated with the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA).
Although the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) could be involved in this association, due to its …

Objective. To investigate whether high molecular weight adiponectin (hmwAPN) mediates
the associations of total adiponectin (totAPN) with radiographic progression in rheumatoid …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are characterised by joint destruction. In
both diseases, inflammation is implicated; however, RA is generally associated with more …

Purpose: Synovitis is associated with pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However,
the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. …

Background and objectives Adipose tissue can secrete soluble mediators (adipokines) with
potent immune regulatory functions. Some adipokines have been previously associated with …
