Abstract

Over the past two decades, many hypotheses have been put forward to explain the cause of knee osteoarthritis. Scientific reports bring up the role of adipose tissue in the activation of the inflammatory mechanisms, which is a characteristic feature of osteoarthritis natural history. Adipose tissue produces and releases cytokines, interleukins, and growth factors by means of paracrine, endocrine, and autocrine mechanisms. Hoffa's fat pad (infrapatellar adipose tissue) plays a viable role in the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis due to its role in the activation and release of pro-inflammatory mediators. The degenerative joint disease is considered an inflammatory process. Therefore, in this article we overview the importance of Hoffa's fat pad in the development and progression of osteoarthritis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 May 2018.
All research outputs
#18,604,390
of 23,045,021 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,329
of 4,971 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#311,626
of 421,413 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#333
of 490 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,045,021 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,971 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,413 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 490 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
