We report on the clinical characteristics of three new patients with pathogenic TRRAP variants expanding the syndrome's phenotype. In order to investigate the TRRAP potential involvement in skeletal development, osteoclastogenesis in Patient 1 was evaluated and TRRAP expression in osteoclasts and osteoblasts were analyzed.

ABSTRACT During intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), cartilage endplate (CEP) cells undergo calcification and ossification, relying primarily on glycolysis for energy metabolism. Leptin (LEP) initiates the IDD, while its underlying mechanism related to glycolysis remains elusive in CEP cells. To investigate the underlying mechanism of LEP on IDD, an

The origin and evolution of air sacs in pterosaurs and their forerunners
Pneumatized pterosauromorph vertebrae and their phylogenetic context. Abstract Although the existence of postcranial pneumaticity and the inferred presence of air sacs connected to the lungs are well established in Pterosauria, the origin of this system in pterosaurs remains unclear. We investigated skeletal pneumaticity in the Triassic pterosauromorph
