Physical activity and joint health: Implications for knee osteoarthritis disease pathophysiology and mechanics

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knee osteoarthritis is experienced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of disability. Although enhancing physical activity levels and the participation in exercise programmes has been proved to improve the debilitating illness of osteoarthritis, many do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity.

Integrative genomic and functional characterization of ADAMTS3 reveals its inflammatory regulation via NF‐κB and STAT3 pathways in osteosarcoma

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone malignancy characterized by genomic instability and extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Members of the ADAMTS family are matrix‐associated proteases implicated in tumorigenesis; however, their roles in OS remain poorly defined. This study provides a comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic, and

Transcriptional Regulation of the Aggrecan Gene [PDF]

, 2017
Aggrecan is a large- aggregating proteoglycan that is essential for the function of articular cartilage. A loss of aggrecan is one of the major event in osteoarthritis, a debilitating and degenerative joint disease. To understand how a gene is lost and what fails to prevent transcription in disease state, an understanding of the bases of transcription ...

A Network‐Based Approach to Understanding Key Signaling Pathways in Intervertebral Disc Biology

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
A literature‐based signaling network capturing the most relevant pathways in human nucleus pulposus cells was first constructed from curated biological evidence. The network was then translated into a system of ordinary differential equations to derive steady‐state solutions and define median baseline activity levels.

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Detrimental Effect of Low‐Magnitude High‐Frequency Vibration in an Ex Vivo Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Despite Estrogen Treatment

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Low‐magnitude high‐frequency vibration (LMHFV), with or without 17β‐oestradiol (E2), exacerbated papain‐induced bovine intervertebral disc degeneration, reducing cell viability, impairing matrix production, and increasing inflammation. E2 showed no protective effect against papain‐induced degeneration or LMHFV.

Phytotherapeutic Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Diabetic Foot Ulcer: Molecular Mechanisms and Wound Healing Perspectives

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Chronic inflammation in diabetic foot ulcers elevates MMP activity and suppresses TIMP and growth factor signaling, impairing tissue repair. Phytochemicals modulate NF‐κB/MAPK pathways and enhance Nrf2–TIMP expression, restoring MMP/TIMP balance, promoting collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and re‐epithelialization, leading to effective wound healing ...

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Dynamic Modulation of the Microenvironment Promotes Functional Maturation of Engineered Tissues

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 17, 8 May 2026.
Engineered tissues lack the dynamic microenvironment of native tissues. A biocompatible, diffusible small molecule to dynamically modulate tissue microenvironments during maturation is used. Timing‐dependent modulation yields distinct outcomes, producing thicker, more native‐like blood vessels, stronger and more mature cardiac tissues, and optimized ...
