Dual-Gene Edited Extracellular Vesicles Remodel the Redox Homeostasis to Inhibit Ferroptosis in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is driven by ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) as a core pathological mechanism. Nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs), exhibiting stem cell‐like properties, yield extracellular vesicles (PEVs) with high affinity for NPCs and enable targeted phenotypic regulation.

Impaired Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy Accelerates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Inducing MIDN Accumulation to Target TSC2 for Proteasomal Degradation. [PDF]
This graphical abstract illustrates how chaperone‐mediated autophagy (CMA) regulates intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Under normal homeostasis (B), CMA degrades cytoplasmic Midnolin (MIDN) to maintain proteostasis. Under inflammatory stress (A), impaired CMA leads to cytoplasmic MIDN accumulation.

A Decoy-Receptor-Armed Biomimetic Nanotherapeutic With Inherent Tropism for Conserved Pathogenic Macrophages for Treating Osteoarthritis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. [PDF]
A biomimetic doppelgänger nanosystem neutralizes extracellular inflammatory cytokines and silences intracellular pyroptosis, reprogramming pathogenic macrophages to attenuate both joint and spine degeneration. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) are debilitating musculoskeletal disorders driven by shared ...

Ammonia Accumulation Drives Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Triggering Ammonia-Induced Cell Death Through Lysosome-Mitochondria Crosstalk. [PDF]
Mechanical strain disrupts the lysosome‐mitochondria axis via GLS1‐mediated ammonia toxicity, causing NP cell death and ECM breakdown in IVDD. CB839‐mediated GLS1 inhibition effectively rescues cellular homeostasis and alleviates disc degeneration.

Identification and Experimental Validation of PANoptosis Key Genes for Constructing a PANoptosis Risk Diagnostic Model in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. [PDF]
This study identified seven PANoptosis key genes (ACSBG1, FXYD1, APCS, CEACAM1, ERAP2, ABL1, and FZD3) in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) through integrated bioinformatics analysis of GEO datasets. Using machine learning algorithms (RF, SVM, XGB, and GLM), a PANoptosis risk diagnostic model was constructed and validated.

Identification of Key Modules and Hub Genes of Annulus Fibrosus in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration impairs the quality of patients lives. Even though there has been development of many therapeutic strategies, most of them remain unsatisfactory due to the limited understanding of the mechanisms that underlie

Gut microbiota orchestrates bone homeostasis: a multi-pathway network from intestine to skeleton
Osteoporosis (OP), a widespread metabolic bone condition characterized by diminished bone mass and compromised microarchitecture, poses a significant global health challenge. The gut microbiota (GM) regulates bone homeostasis through the “gut-bone axis,”
