Ascorbic Acid Modulates Collagen Properties in Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteoporotic Bone: Insights into Chemical, Mechanical, and Biological Regulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Osteoporosis from long‐term glucocorticoid (GIOP) use elevates susceptibility to fracture. This study shows GCs impair ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism in osteoblasts, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix integrity. AA enhanced collagen biochemical and mechanical properties and restored osteoblast and endothelial function. These findings underscore

Emerging therapies for the treatment of osteoporosis

Journal of Mid-Life Health, 2013
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease of the osseous system characterized by decreased bone strength and increased fracture risk. It is due to an imbalance in the dynamic ongoing processes of bone formation and bone resorption.

Dual targeting of salt inducible kinases and CSF1R uncouples bone formation and bone resorption

eLife, 2021
Bone formation and resorption are typically coupled, such that the efficacy of anabolic osteoporosis treatments may be limited by bone destruction. The multi-kinase inhibitor YKL-05–099 potently inhibits salt inducible kinases (SIKs) and may represent a ...

A bimolecular modification strategy for developing long-lasting bone anabolic aptamer

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2023
The molecular weight of nucleic acid aptamers (20 kDa) is lower than the cutoff threshold of the renal filtration (30–50 kDa), resulting in a very short half-life, which dramatically limits their druggability.
