TRPV1 alleviates osteoarthritis by inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization via Ca²+/CaMKII/Nrf2 signaling pathway
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study found that TRPV1, a receptor activated by capsaicin (the compound that makes chili peppers spicy), can reduce inflammation in joints affected by osteoarthritis. Activating TRPV1 inhibits the activity of M1 macrophages, which drive inflammation and joint damage, and promotes cartilage health in a rat model.
