• Cholesterol metabolism related genes in osteoarthritis 

      Papathanasiou I., Anastasopoulou L., Tsezou A. (2021)
      Cholesterol homeostasis plays a significant role in skeletal development and the dysregulation of cholesterol-related mechanism has been shown to be involved in the development of cartilage diseases including osteoarthritis ...
    • Dysregulation of caveolin-1 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation is associated with senescence onset 

      Goutas A., Outskouni Z., Papathanasiou I., Satra M., Koliakos G., Trachana V. (2021)
      We recently reported that the inability of osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes to repair oxidative stress (OS) induced DNA damage is linked to Cav-1 overexpression/improper localization. We speculated that the senescent status ...
    • Links between HPA axis and adipokines: clinical implications in paradigms of stress-related disorders 

      Papargyri P., Zapanti E., Salakos N., Papargyris L., Bargiota A., Mastorakos G. (2018)
      Introduction: In the human organism, a constant interplay exists between the stress system [which includes the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis] and the adipose tissue. This interplay is mediated ...
    • A systems biology approach uncovers cell-specific gene regulatory effects of genetic associations in multiple sclerosis 

      Madireddy L., Patsopoulos N.A., Cotsapas C., Bos S.D., Beecham A., McCauley J., Kim K., Jia X., Santaniello A., Caillier S.J., Andlauer T.F.M., Barcellos L.F., Berge T., Bernardinelli L., Martinelli-Boneschi F., Booth D.R., Briggs F., Celius E.G., Comabella M., Comi G., Cree B.A.C., D’Alfonso S., Dedham K., Duquette P., Efthimios D., Esposito F., Fontaine B., Gasperi C., Goris A., Dubois B., Gourraud P.-A., Hadjigeorgiou G., Haines J., Hawkins C., Hemmer B., Hintzen R., Horakova D., Isobe N., Kalra S., Kira J.-I., Khalil M., Kockum I., Lill C.M., Lincoln M.R., Luessi F., Martin R., Oturai A., Palotie A., Pericak-Vance M.A., Henry R., Saarela J., Ivinson A., Olsson T., Taylor B.V., Stewart G.J., Harbo H.F., Compston A., Hauser S.L., Hafler D.A., Zipp F., De Jager P., Sawcer S., Oksenberg J.R., Baranzini S.E., International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium (2019)
      Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50,000 unique associations with common human traits. While this represents a substantial step forward, establishing the biology underlying these associations ...
