Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammation, mainly derived from fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), plays a central role in the pathomechanism of osteoarthritis (OA). Recently, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling was found to be activated in OA-derived FLSs with a pro-inflammatory phenotype. However, the role of EMT signaling in regulating FLS function and OA-related inflammation remains unknown. METHODS:...
