Objectives
Histological osteochondral characteristics of inflammation, fibrosis, vascularity, cartilage islands, vessels entering cartilage, thickened trabeculae and cysts are associated with bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in human knee osteoarthritis (...

Chronic pain is a major cause of disability and suffering in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Endogenous specialised pro-resolving molecules (SPMs) curtail pro-inflammatory responses. One of the SPM intermediate oxylipins, 17-hydroxydocasahexaenoic acid...

Objective: To examine associations between serum oxylipins, which regulate tissue repair and pain signalling, and knee pain/radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) at baseline and knee pain at 3 year follow-up.

Method: Baseline, and 3 year follow-up, kne... Read More about Serum levels of hydroxylated metabolites of arachidonic acid cross-sectionally and longitudinally predict knee pain progression: an observational cohort study.

The rat Osteoarthritis Bone Score: a new histological system for scoring subchondral pathology in rat knees analogous to histological correlates of human OA bone marrow lesions (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McWilliams, D. F., Shahtaheri, M., Koushesh, S., Joseph, C., Gowler, P., Chapman, V., Sofat, N., & Walsh, D. A. The rat Osteoarthritis Bone Score: a new histological system for scoring subchondral pathology in rat knees analogous to histological correlates of human OA bone marrow lesions. Presented at 2024 OARSI World Congress on Osteoarthritis, Vienna, Austria

Purpose (the aim of the study): Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are detected by MRI in the in human osteoarthritis (OA) subchondral bone and associated with pain. We previously described 7 histological features associated with BMLs from which we developed...

Serum levels of specialised pro-resolving molecule pathways are greatly increased in SARS-CoV-2 patients and correlate with markers of the adaptive immune response (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Turnbull, J., Jha, R., Ortori, C. A., Lunt, E., Tighe, P. J., Irving, W. L., Gohir, S. A., Kim, D.-H., Valdes, A. M., Tarr, A. W., Barrett, D. A., & Chapman, V. Serum levels of specialised pro-resolving molecule pathways are greatly increased in SARS-CoV-2 patients and correlate with markers of the adaptive immune response

Background Specialised pro-resolution molecules (SPMs) halt the transition to chronic pathogenic inflammation. We aimed to quantify serum levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory bioactive lipids in SARS-CoV-2 patients, and to identify potential relation...
