Biomimetic Gradient Hydrogels Regulate Osteochondral Regeneration Microenvironment Remodeling via Spatiotemporal Programming Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electric field‑driven continuous gradient hydrogel GHZF4 achieves spatiotemporal growth factor release, modulates immune microenvironment, angiogenesis and osteochondral differentiation. It realizes cell‑free functional osteochondral repair in rat/rabbit models, offering a promising biomimetic strategy for gradient tissue regeneration.

Kaempferol Attenuates Spaceflight‐Associated Knee Cartilage Degradation by Targeting NOX4‐Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We have shown that both simulated and actual spaceflight contribute to cartilage degradation in the knees of mice. Using RNA sequencing and bioenergetic profiling, we identified NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) as a key factor driving these changes. Additionally, we found that kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid that binds directly to NOX4, reduces ...

Review of the Molecular and Developmental Basis of Myhre Syndrome, Bench Research

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MS) is a connective‐tissue disorder within the acromelic dysplasia spectrum. It is characterized by congenital craniofacial, skeletal, cutaneous anomalies, respiratory, cardiovascular along with intellectual disability, deafness, and progressive fibrosis.

Aggrecan: A target molecule of autoimmune reactions

Pathology & Oncology Research, 1996
Aggrecan in cartilage forms aggregates with hyaluronan and link protein, embedded in a collagen network. It accounts for the compressive stiffness and resilience of the hyaline cartilage. Many forms of inflammatory arthritis were shown to be accompanied with aggrecan degradation and loss from the cartilage. The loss of this major component of cartilage

Autoreactivity vs autoimmunity: characteristics of autoantigen‐specific CD4 T‐cells in rheumatoid arthritis and health.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit)‐peptides are key players in RA immunopathogenesis. Characterising these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next generation of RA treatments.

Histopathologic Analysis of the Morpho‐Functional Zones of the Human Acetabular Labrum

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The structural and functional adaptation of soft tissues to mechanical load controls their ability to withstand injury and influences their capacity for healing. Similar to the knee meniscus, the acetabular labrum exhibits zonal differences in mechanical load distribution, resulting in distinct regions with unique structural and functional ...

Damaged Neocortical Perineuronal Nets Due to Experimental Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Mice, Rats and Sheep

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2017
As part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), perineuronal nets (PNs) are polyanionic, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG)-rich coatings of certain neurons, known to be affected in various neural diseases.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.
