Spatial mapping of rheumatoid arthritis synovial niches reveals a LYVE1+ macrophage network associated with response to therapy - PubMed This study provides an unprecedented spatial and dynamic blueprint of the RA synovium's response to therapy. We identify the LYVE1⁺ macrophage network as a pivotal component of synovial hom...

Monocyte‐derived macrophages‐synovial fibroblasts crosstalk unravels oncostatin signaling network as a driver of synovitis in osteoarthritis Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and pain. Macrophages have been implicated in OA pathology, but the origi...

Happy to share our new study identifying a macrophage subset as a key driver of synovitis in osteoarthritis via the OSM-OSMR axis published @acr-journals.bsky.social. Congrats @GabrielCourties and #PhD students Olivier Bortolotti, Damien Laouteouet acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
