Ovine models of intervertebral disc degeneration. [PDF]

Ann Transl Med
The development and evaluation of effective therapeutic strategies for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and their successful incorporation into clinical practice remain challenging, largely due to the absence of an optimal preclinical animal model.

The role of ferroptosis in intervertebral disc degeneration

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, and cartilage endplate constitute an avascular intervertebral disc (IVD), which is crucial for spinal and intervertebral joint mobility. As one of the most widespread health issues worldwide, intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is recognized as a key contributor to back and neck discomfort.

TRIM25 facilitates mitochondrial dysfunction and extracellular matrix degradation by enhancing USP7-driven ENO1 deubiquitination during intervertebral disc degeneration. [PDF]

Clin Transl Med
Under conditions of low TRIM25 expression, the ubiquitination fate of ENO1 shifts to K48‐linked ubiquitination and degradation. TRIM25 enhances the deubiquitination of ENO1 by recruiting USP7, effectively inhibiting its proteasomal degradation and significantly increasing ENO1 stabilization.

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]

, 2009
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

Machine learning and single-cell analysis identify the mitophagy-associated gene TOMM22 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for intervertebral disc degeneration

Heliyon
Background: Mitophagy selectively eliminates potentially cytotoxic and damaged mitochondria and effectively prevents excessive cytotoxicity from damaged mitochondria, thereby attenuating inflammatory and oxidative responses.

CAR‐Engineered Cell Therapies Beyond Cancer: Reprogramming Fibrosis and Immune‐Mediated Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CAR‐engineered cell therapies are expanding beyond cancer toward immune resetting, pathological‐cell clearance, matrix remodeling, and microenvironmental reprogramming in autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases. This Review compares CAR‐T, CAR‐macrophage, and CAR‐NK platforms and proposes controllable spatiotemporal reprogramming to align ...

TGFBI Maintains Fibrocartilage Homeostasis by Restraining O‐GlcNAcylation to Inactivate and Destabilize ADAMTS16 in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TGFBI deficiency elevates O‐GlcNAcylation, promoting the transcriptional activation of ADAMTS16 and OGT‐mediated post‐translational modification of ADAMTS16 at Ser1170. This leads to its stabilization and accumulation, driving chondrocyte metabolic disorders and senescent phenotypes, ultimately resulting in fibrocartilage dysfunction and TMJOA ...
