Experimental outline of the research work undertaken in the paper: sEVs_IL-1 collection from IL-1 treated ADSC; purification of sEVs_IL-1 through a combined precipitation and size exclusion chromatography method; addition of sEVs_IL-1 to primary cultures of chondrocytes and synoviocytes; analysis of the effects at the gene and protein level and molecular hypothesis underlying the observed effects.
