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 ...

Protein kinase A is a dependent factor and therapeutic target in mouse models of fibrous dysplasia

Nature Communications
Fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal disorder caused by activating mutations in Gαs, leading to bone fractures, deformities, and pain. Protein kinase A (PKA), the principal effector of Gαs, plays critical roles in various biological processes.

New Insights Into Diffuse Sclerosing Osteomyelitis: Is There a Role of ANA and Vitamin B6?

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Object Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis is a poorly understood chronic disease, which appears predominantly in the mandible. Female patients are more often affected than men. DSO is an ultra‐rare disease and incidence is unknown; diagnosis can be very challenging; pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.
