When cells reach a permanent growth arrest (Senescence) and resist death, this can result in numerous diseases, such as osteoarthritis. Here we show the presence of two different types of senescence in the blood metabolome of osteoarthritis patients. These blood metabolome patterns could function as biomarkers for patient-tailored targeting of senescence in OA. Accumulation [...]

Marcella's latest publication in Science Advances is out now! Science Advances published the work of Marcella van Hoolwerff et al, where a high impact mutation was identified by exome sequencing in FN1 in affected family members of an early-onset osteoarthritis family. Upon introducing this mutation in an in vitro OA disease model using human [...]
