Therapeutic senescence via GPCR activation in synovial fibroblasts facilitates resolution of arthritis

Fibroblast hyper-activation and proliferation is a major feature in arthritis, yet scarcely addressed for anti-arthritic therapies. Here, the authors show that activation of the MC1 receptor induces fibroblast senescence associated with a reparative phenotype, ultimately regulating experimental infl...
