Rockel J, Rabani R, Viswanathan S
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2019 Nov; 101:87-103. PMID: 31757583
Most chronic diseases involving inflammation have a fibrotic component that involves remodeling and excess accumulation of extracellular matrix components. Left unchecked, fibrosis leads to organ failure and death. Mesenchymal stromal...

Gomez-Aristizabal A, Gandhi R, Mahomed N, Marshall K, Viswanathan S
Arthritis Res Ther . 2019 Jan; 21(1):26. PMID: 30658702
Background: Chronic, low-grade inflammation of the synovium (synovitis) is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), thus understanding of OA immunobiology, mediated by immune effectors, is of importance. Specifically, monocytes/macrophages (MΦs) are...
