An unusual presentation of osteochondrosis in the elbows and tarsi of a Friesian colt

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the clinical, diagnostic imaging results and post‐mortem findings in a foal that underwent reassessment following surgical management of angular limb deformities (ALD) and acute onset of gait abnormalities. Upon presentation, the foal showed an abnormal stiff gait characterised by bilateral medial limb collapse during

Effect of JJYMD-C, a novel synthetic derivative of gallic acid, on proliferation and phenotype maintenance in rabbit articular chondrocytes in vitro [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014
Tissue engineering encapsulated cells such as chondrocytes in the carrier matrix have been widely used to repair cartilage defects. However, chondrocyte phenotype is easily lost when chondrocytes are expanded in vitro by a process defined as ...

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Homozygous Loss‐of‐Function Variant in SLC20A1 Coding for Ubiquitous Phosphate Transporter PiT1 Is Associated With Multiple Developmental Abnormalities

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 64-72, July 2026.
Biallelic SLC20A1 loss‐of‐function variant causes a previously unrecognized multisystem developmental disorder. We report the first homozygous case presenting with tetralogy of Fallot, renal agenesis, polydactyly, and growth impairment. Transcriptome analysis of patient‐derived fibroblasts suggests significant dysregulation of pathways critical for ...

G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 facilitates chondrocyte proliferation in pubertal epiphyseal growth plate via PTHrP/Ihh regulation

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Oestrogen drives long-bone development through various oestrogen receptors. G-protein-coupled oestrogen receptor-1 (GPER-1), a membrane oestrogen receptor, mediates longitudinal bone growth during early puberty; however, the underlying mechanisms ...

Is the temporomandibular joint affected by rheumatoid arthritis? A comparative investigation with knee arthritis in an experimental rat model

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 114-126, July 2026.
Animals were sensitized with mBSA emulsified in CFA/IFA and subsequently received three intra‐articular injections of mBSA into either the TMJ or the knee (once per week). Mechanical hyperalgesia was assessed using electronic von Frey testing after arthritis establishment at 24 h or 7 days following the third intra‐articular injection.

Retinoic Acid‐Related Orphan Nuclear Receptor Alpha Promotes Cartilage Degeneration in Osteoarthritis by Activating the Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
During the development of OA, elevated RORα in chondrocytes inhibits β‐catenin degradation in the cytoplasm by activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway. When β‐catenin protein accumulates excessively in the cytoplasm, it is transferred to the nucleus and binds to the cytosolic TCF/LEF transcriptional complex, which activates downstream target ...
