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 ...

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 ...

The Regulatory Role of Signaling Crosstalk in Hypertrophy of MSCs and Human Articular Chondrocytes [PDF]

, 2015
Hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes is a main barrier in application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cartilage repair. In addition, hypertrophy occurs occasionally in osteoarthritis (OA).

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

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
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.

Mapk7 deletion in chondrocytes causes vertebral defects by reducing MEF2C/PTEN/AKT signaling

Genes and Diseases
Mutation of the MAPK7 gene was related to human scoliosis. Mapk7 regulated the development of limb bones and skulls in mice. However, the role of MAPK7 in vertebral development is still unclear.

Mandibular Condylar Cartilage in Development and Diseases: A PTHrP‐Centric View

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a dual‐function component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), acting as both articular cartilage for jaw movement and growth cartilage for vertical growth of the mandibular condyle. Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) plays a critical role in orchestrating chondrogenesis in the long bone ...

Curcumin Inhibits Chondrocyte Hypertrophy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells through IHH and Notch Signaling Pathways.

Chemical and pharmaceutical bulletin, 2017
Using tissue engineering technique to repair cartilage damage caused by osteoarthritis is a promising strategy. However, the regenerated tissue usually is fibrous cartilage, which has poor mechanical characteristics compared to hyaline cartilage ...

Epigenetic regulation of chondrocyte differentiation

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2015
Chondrocytes play an essential role in endochondral bone development, which is requisite for mammalian skeletal development. During endochondral bone development, chondrocytes undergo well-organized stages of sequential differentiation, including ...

Targeted Inhibition of CD74+ Macrophages by Luteolin via CEBPB/P65 Signaling Ameliorates Osteoarthritis Progression

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
This study identifies CD74⁺ macrophages as key drivers of synovial inflammation in osteoarthritis (OA). The flavonoid luteolin is predicted to inhibit this pathway by blocking Nuclear Factor Kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of Activated B cells (NF‐κB) signaling. To enhance delivery, a targeted nanoplatform (MDSPL) is developed.
