Abstract
The cellular composition of fibrous tissue around orthopaedic implants and the genetic pathways involved in its formation are unclear. We find that leptin-receptor-expressing cells activate the adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor F5 (ADGRF5) pathway to form peri-implant fibrous tissue. Inhibition of ADGRF5 in leptin-receptor-expressing cells can prevent and reverse peri-implant fibrosis.
期刊介绍:
Nature Biomedical Engineering is an online-only monthly journal that was launched in January 2017. It aims to publish original research, reviews, and commentary focusing on applied biomedicine and health technology. The journal targets a diverse audience, including life scientists who are involved in developing experimental or computational systems and methods to enhance our understanding of human physiology. It also covers biomedical researchers and engineers who are engaged in designing or optimizing therapies, assays, devices, or procedures for diagnosing or treating diseases. Additionally, clinicians, who make use of research outputs to evaluate patient health or administer therapy in various clinical settings and healthcare contexts, are also part of the target audience.
