Arthritis Research and Therapy, 27(1), Article 28. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-025-03489-9

Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common cause of low back pain, and the most symptomatic patients with neural compression need surgical intervention to relieve symptoms. Current techniques used to diagnose IVD degeneration, suc...

Loss of regulation of protein synthesis and turnover underpins an attenuated stress response in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells (2023)
Journal Article
Llewellyn, J., Mallikarjun, V., Gilbert, H., Richardson, S., Hubbard, S., Swift, J., Appleton, E., & Osipova, M. (2023). Loss of regulation of protein synthesis and turnover underpins an attenuated stress response in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2210745120

<jats:p>Cells respond to stress by synthesizing chaperone proteins that seek to correct protein misfolding and maintain function. However, abrogation of protein homeostasis is a hallmark of aging, leading to loss of function and the formation of prot...

Loss of cytoskeletal proteostasis links dysregulation of cell size and mechanotransduction in mesenchymal stem cell senescence (2022)
Journal Article
Mallikarjun, V., Dobre, O., Jackson, M., Kidd, M., Llewellyn, J., Gilbert, H., Richardson, S., & Swift, J. (2022). Loss of cytoskeletal proteostasis links dysregulation of cell size and mechanotransduction in mesenchymal stem cell senescence. arXiv,

ABSTRACT Tissues are maintained by homeostatic feedback mechanisms where cells respond to, but also modify, the chemical and mechanical properties of the surrounding extracellular matrix. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) resident in the marrow niche exp...
