Oxidative Stress-Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction Facilitates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Senescence in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Researchers found that ankylosing spondylitis (AS) serum facilitated senescence of MSCs in vitro, and articular tissues from AS patients exhibited higher expression levels of the cell cycle arrest-related proteins p53, p21 and p16.
