Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Detrimental Effect of Low‐Magnitude High‐Frequency Vibration in an Ex Vivo Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Despite Estrogen Treatment

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Low‐magnitude high‐frequency vibration (LMHFV), with or without 17β‐oestradiol (E2), exacerbated papain‐induced bovine intervertebral disc degeneration, reducing cell viability, impairing matrix production, and increasing inflammation. E2 showed no protective effect against papain‐induced degeneration or LMHFV.

Comparative Analysis of Dual‐miRNA Mediated Stimulation of Nucleus Pulposus and Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells for Intervertebral Disc Repair

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Nucleus pulposus (NP) and bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with miRNA‐149‐5p‐mimic and 221‐3p‐inhibitor were evaluated in goat monolayer, microtissue, and ex vivo organ cultures of mild degeneration. miRNA‐treated NP cells demonstrated an anti‐catabolic and pro‐discogenic response in organs, highlighting its potential as a ...

Zinc‐Coordination‐Driven Pyroptosis Nano‐Inductor Sensitizes Colorectal Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy by Specific Delivery and Cell Stemness Suppression

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
CD44‐targeted CNPs co‐deliver Zn2+ and MIT–ALA to CRC cells. Intracellularly, Zn2+ inhibits GLUT1‐dependent glycolysis, and ALA disrupts mitochondrial function, driving metabolic exhaustion in CSCs. This mitochondrial damage primes GSDMD‐mediated pyroptosis, accompanied by the release of pro‐inflammatory cytokines (IL‑1β, IL‑18).

Joint modeling of longitudinal and time‐to‐event data for dynamic disease risk prediction using proteomics

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Biomedical studies increasingly incorporate longitudinal data, enabling us to track individual disease processes over time at the molecular level, and to discover associations of the molecular profiles with the outcome of interest, such as the onset of a disease.
