Phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitors boost bone outgrowth

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose C‐type natriuretic peptide (CNP) stimulates skeletal growth by acting on the growth plates of long bones, and a CNP variant is clinically used for achondroplasia treatment. We previously reported that CNP stimulates the autonomic Ca2+ influx mediated by TRPM7 channels in growth plate chondrocytes to facilitate extracellular ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Nuclear destabilisation – a possible genesis of cancer?

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review examines the increasingly prominent role of mechanics within cancer formation and progression. The extremely varied and contradictory genetic landscape of cancer is in stark contrast to the seemingly universal mechanical characteristics of cancer cells and their tumour microenvironment, and mechanics may be a principal unifying ...

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of MIR‐140‐3p in Osteoarthritis: Targeting CILP and Ferroptosis for Novel Treatment Strategies

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Global landscape. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating joint disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide, severely impairing mobility, independence, and quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis is a critical factor in OA pathogenesis.

Engineering Intervertebral Disc Regeneration: Biomaterials, Cell Sources and Animal Models

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This review highlights the current tissue engineering approaches utilising biomaterials, animal models and cell sources for intervertebral disc regeneration and discusses future opportunities. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is an age‐related problem triggering chronic spinal issues, such as low back pain and IVD herniation.

Mechanism of EC‐EXOs‐Derived THBS3 Targeting CD47 to Regulate BMSCs Differentiation to Ameliorate Bone Loss

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
EC‐EXOs could regulate the differentiation of BMSCs through the key protein THBS3, which inhibits their differentiation to lipogenic cells and promotes their differentiation to osteoblasts. THBS3 could down‐regulate the expression of its downstream target CD47 and delay the process of bone loss in aged mice and OVX mice, which may provide a novel ...

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...
