Autophagy acts as a brake on obesity-related fibrosis by controlling purine nucleoside signalling

Klara Piletič, Amir Hossein Kayvanjoo, Felix Clemens Richter…·Anna Katharina Simon

This study shows that autophagy in adipocytes limits obesity-related fibrosis by controlling purine nucleoside metabolism and macrophage polarization.

The synovial lining macrophage layer develops in the first weeks of life in a CSF1- and TGFβ- dependent but monocyte-independent process.

Marlène Magalhaes Pinto, Bert Malengier‐Devlies, Guillaume Seuzaret…·Rebecca Gentek

The paper identifies CSF1 and TGFβ as key signals for synovial lining macrophage development in mice, which occurs postnatally and is monocyte-independent.

Perivascular RELM-positive synovial macrophages recruit monocytes at the onset of inflammatory arthritis

Barbora Schonfeldova, Marah G. Chibwana, Rebecca Gentek…·Irina A. Udalova

The paper identifies RELM-positive perivascular macrophages that recruit monocytes to the synovium during arthritis onset, contributing to lining macrophage replenishment.
