Amuc_1473 Links Gut Microbes to Skeletal Homeostasis and Counteracts Multifactorial Osteoporosis
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.Amuc_1473, a previously uncharacterized protein enriched in Akkermansia muciniphila‐derived extracellular vesicles, is identified as a gut–bone messenger that promotes osteogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis by engaging transcriptional and translational regulators in bone cells.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.A graphene oxide/collagen scaffold is developed for chronic massive rotator cuff tear repair. The scaffold improves compressive stability, supports reparative mesenchymal differentiation, and modulates the immune microenvironment. In chronic MRCT models, it reduces muscle degeneration, enhances tendon–bone regeneration, and improves functional recovery,

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 7, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Investigating trajectories in older people with back pain (BP) is informative for estimating prognosis and initiating personalized treatment. We aimed to identify 5‐year trajectories of BP‐related disability in older adults, and baseline factors associated with trajectory membership.

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Physical exercise benefits both cognition and physical health in aging, but it remains unclear whether benefits derive mainly from intensity or task complexity. Continuous exercises involve repetitive and predictable movements (e.g., running), whereas serial exercises (e.g., dancing) integrate varied motor sequences, and are cognitively more ...
