Bone matrix components activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and promote osteoclast differentiation
Scientific Reports, 2017 The NLRP3 inflammasome senses a variety of signals referred to as danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including those triggered by crystalline particulates or degradation products of extracellular matrix. Since some DAMPs confer tissue-specific

Investigation of the cellular response to bone fractures: evidence for flexoelectricity [PDF]
Scientific Reports volume 10, Article number: 254 (2020), 2020 The recent discovery of bone flexoelectricity (electrical polarization induced by strain gradient) suggests that flexoelectricity could have physiological effects in bones, and specifically near bone fractures, where flexoelectricity is theoretically highest. Here, we report a cytological study of the interaction between crack stress and bone cells. We

Mechanics of mineralized collagen fibrils upon transient loads [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2020, 2020 Collagen is a key structural protein in the human body, which undergoes mineralization during the formation of hard tissues. Earlier studies have described the mechanical behavior of bone at different scales highlighting material features across hierarchical structures.

Thyroid hormone status within the physiological range affects bone mass and density in healthy men at the age of peak bone mass [PDF]
, 2011 Context: The hormonal factors involved in the regulation of peak bone mass (PBM) in men have not been fully investigated. Apart from gonadal steroids and somatotropic hormones, thyroid hormones are known to affect bone maturation and homeostasis and are ...
