Physical activity and joint health: Implications for knee osteoarthritis disease pathophysiology and mechanics

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knee osteoarthritis is experienced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of disability. Although enhancing physical activity levels and the participation in exercise programmes has been proved to improve the debilitating illness of osteoarthritis, many do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity.

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

Human Proteoglycan Linkage Region Glycosyltransferases are Dimeric and Show Unexpected Specificities

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.
Non‐canonical glycopeptides of the proteoglycan linkage region are accessible by the enzymes B3GalT6 and GlcAT‐1 confirming a recently discovered rescue mode in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biosynthesis. The crystal structure of B3GalT6 revealed a covalent dimer linked by a disulfide. Abstract We selected the N,O‐glycosylated proteoglycan bikunin as a model

Influence of the Intervertebral Disc Microenvironment on Matrix Synthesis and Metabolism in Goat Nucleus Pulposus Cells

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Goat nucleus pulposus cells cultured under clinically relevant oxygen, glucose, pH, and osmolarity revealed pH to have the most influential impact on viability and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Interactions between factors showed that disc cell behavior is shaped by the microenvironment, highlighting its importance in regenerative therapy design for the
