Mechanical loading induces a previously unrecognized Sox9+Acan+ transitional mesenchymal cell population in the periodontal ligament that promotes osteoclastogenesis via the FGF2–FGFR2–ERK axis. Targeting this mechanoresponsive stromal population using a localized GelMA@siRNA delivery strategy attenuates pathological osteoclast overactivation and root ...

Fibronectin regulates the extracellular matrix (ECM)–myofibroblast cycle through three key steps: (1) its secretion and assembly by myofibroblasts (inhibited by pUR4); (2) collagen deposition along its scaffold (inhibited by R1R2); and (3) integrin α5β1‐mediated mechanotransduction (inhibited by ATN161).

Artificial Intelligence for Bone: Theory, Methods, and Applications
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer the potential to improve bone research. The current review explores the contributions of AI to pathological study, biomarker discovery, drug design, and clinical diagnosis and prognosis of bone diseases. We envision that AI‐driven methodologies will enable identifying novel targets for drugs discovery. The

First-in-Human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of ASP1617, a Cathepsin-S Inhibitor, in Healthy Adult Subjects. [PDF]
ABSTRACT ASP1617 is a novel, highly selective inhibitor of cathepsin‐S, an important protease for antigen peptide loading onto major histocompatibility complex class II molecules. Preclinically, ASP1617 prevented progression of lupus‐like glomerulonephritis in an NZB/W F1 mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus.
