Circulating micrornas correlate with multiple myeloma and skeletal osteolytic l...
Moura, SR; Abreu, H; Cunha, C; Ribeiro-Machado, C; Oliveira, CM; Barbosa, MA; Marques, H; Almeida, MIMultiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequent hematological disease and can cause skeletal osteolytic lesions. This study aims to evaluate the expression of circulating microRNAs (miR-NAs) in MM patients and to correlate those levels with clinicopathological features, including bone lesions. A panel of miRNAs associated with MM onset and progression, or with bone remodeling, was analyzed in the plasma of 82...
Therapeutic strategies for IVD regeneration through hyaluronan/SDF-1-based hydr...
Cunha, C; Pereira, CL; Ferreira, JR; Ribeiro-Machado, C; Grad, S; Santos, SG; Gonçalves, RMIntervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration involves a complex cascade of events, including degradation of the native extracellular matrix, loss of water content, and decreased cell numbers. Cell recruitment strategies for the IVD have been increasingly explored, aiming to recruit either endogenous or transplanted cells. This study evaluates the IVD therapeutic potential of a chemoattractant delivery system (HAPSDF5...
Modulation of the in vivo inflammatory response by pro-versus anti-inflammatory...
Cunha, C; Teixeira, GQ; Ribeiro-Machado, C; Leite Pereira, C; Ferreira, JR; Molinos, M; Santos, SG; Barbosa, MA; Gonçalves, RMInflammation is central in intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration/regeneration mechanisms, and its balance is crucial to maintain tissue homeostasis. This work investigates the modulation of local and systemic inflammatory response associated with IVD degeneration/herniation by administration of PRO-versus ANTI-inflammatory treatments. Chitosan/poly-¿-glutamic acid nanocomplexes, known as pro-inflammatory (PRO)...
Profiling the circulating miRnome reveals a temporal regulation of the bone inj...
Silva, AM; Almeida, MI; Teixeira, JH; Ivan, C; Oliveira, J; Vasconcelos, DM; Neves, N; Ribeiro-Machado, C; Cunha, C; Barbosa, MA; Calin, G; Santos, SGBone injury healing is an orchestrated process that starts with an inflammatory phase followed by repair and remodelling of the bone defect. The initial inflammation is characterized by local changes in immune cell populations and molecular mediators, including microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the systemic response to bone injury remains largely uncharacterized. Thus, this study aimed to profile the changes in the ...
