Synovial immune control failure in osteoarthritis: from maintenance of tissue homeostasis to inflammatory niche formation

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a whole-joint disease involving cartilage, synovium, subchondral bone, and neurovascular structures. Synovitis, damage-associated molecular patterns, and interactions between macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes have been widely studied. However, a tissue-level explanation is still lackin...

Research Progress on the Relationship between Joint Immune Microenvironment and Osteoarthritis Progression

Osteoarthritis (OA) has conventionally been considered a degenerative mechanical condition; but an increasing number of studies support an alternative perception of this disease as one characterized by impaired immune homeostasis in the joint environment. The purpose of this review is to analyze the mechanisms of how t...

Macrophage plasticity and metabolic control in muscle repair and disease

This review examines how metabolic pathways, particularly the balance between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, govern macrophage behavior through epigenetic mechanisms, thereby coupling cellular metabolism to inflammatory and regenerative gene expression and how these interconnected pathways are disrupted in c...

Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns and Trained Immunity of Monocyte–Macrophage Populations in Osteoarthritis: Potential Molecular Links and Therapeutic Opportunities

Osteoarthritis (OA) is now widely discussed as a whole-joint immunometabolic disease involving cartilage, synovium, and subchondral bone, rather than as cartilage degeneration driven only by mechanical stress. Tissue injury, cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction, and extracellular matrix degradation can lead to the per...

Fatty Acid Metabolic Reprogramming in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Integrating Inflammation, Resolution Failure, and Joint Destruction

Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovitis and progressive structural joint damage. Its pathology involves immune-cell infiltration, pannus formation, cartilage degradation, and bone destruction. Although autoantibodies, inflammatory cytokines, and aberrant...
