Both SVF and CD31+ SVF improve spontaneous osteoarthritis, but CD31+ enrichment refines the therapeutic profile rather than broadly enhancing all effects. More distinct benefits are observed in extracellular matrix remodeling, osteochondral integrity, and subchondral/trabecular bone preservation, supporting CD31+‐enriched SVF as a biologically enhanced

Identification of Hyaluronan-binding Domains of Aggrecan [PDF]
Aggrecan, a large cartilage proteoglycan, interacts with hyaluronan (HA), to form aggregates which function to resist compression in joints. The N-terminal region of aggrecan contains two structurally related globular domains, G1 and G2 separated by IGD domain. The G1 domain consists of three subdomains, A, B, and B', structural features characteristic

THBS1+ Macrophages Exacerbate Modic Changes via SDC4‐Dependent Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome
The illustration of THBS1+ macrophages exacerbate MCs via SDC4‐dependent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. THBS1+ macrophage subpopulation was identified in MCs through single‐cell RNA sequencing. C. acnes and its metabolites activate THBS1 expression in macrophages via the TLR signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and disabling joint disease driven by oxidative stress, chondrocyte senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, yet lacks effective disease‐modifying treatments. In this study, we identified miR‐197‐3p as a previously unrecognized, cartilage‐protective miRNA significantly downregulated in both ...

Aggrecanase and Aggrecan Degradation in Osteoarthritis: A Review
Aggrecanase-mediated aggrecan degradation is a significant event in early-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Aggrecanases belonging to the ‘A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motifs’ (ADAMTS) family of proteinases play a significant role in aggrecan depletion in osteoarthritic cartilage. There has been considerable interest in the possible

The Glycosaminoglycan Attachment Regions of Human Aggrecan [PDF]
Aggrecan possesses both chondroitin sulfate (CS) and keratan sulfate (KS) chains attached to its core protein, which reside mainly in the central region of the molecule termed the glycosaminoglycan-attachment region. This region is further subdivided into the KS-rich domain and two adjacent CS-rich domains (CS1 and CS2).

The role of aggrecan in normal and osteoarthritic cartilage [PDF]
AbstractAggrecan is a large proteoglycan bearing numerous chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate chains that endow articular cartilage with its ability to withstand compressive loads. It is present in the extracellular matrix in the form of proteoglycan aggregates, in which many aggrecan molecules interact with hyaluronan and a link protein stabilizes

Deep Learning Prediction of O‐Glycopeptide Tandem Mass Spectra Enhances O‐Glycoproteomics
DeepGPO integrates Transformer and graph neural networks with tailored training strategies, including data augmentation, loss re‐weighting, and pre‐training, to achieve high‐quality O‐glycopeptide MS/MS spectra prediction. The predicted MS/MS spectra are used to localize O‐glycosylation sites from HCD MS/MS data, enhancing O‐glycoproteomics analysis ...

A biomimetic doppelgänger nanosystem neutralizes extracellular inflammatory cytokines and silences intracellular pyroptosis, reprogramming pathogenic macrophages to attenuate both joint and spine degeneration. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) are debilitating musculoskeletal disorders driven by shared ...
