Proteomic Atlas of Notochordal Cell‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Highlights EV‐Specific NF‐κB Modulation and Functional Implications of the Protein Corona

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The notochord is a central signalling hub during embryonic development. After regression of the notochord, notochordal cells (NCs) reside within the developing intervertebral disc. The NC‐secretome, including matrix, proteins and extracellular vesicles (NC‐EVs), promotes regeneration of degenerate intervertebral discs and cartilage. This study

Miliary Tuberculosis Diagnosed After Repeated Sputum Smear Examinations Despite Negative Results at a Referral Tuberculosis Center: The Importance of Maintaining Clinical Suspicion

open access: yesJournal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT An 88‐year‐old woman with back pain was found to have destructive changes at T9/T10 and diffuse micronodular pulmonary opacities suggestive of miliary tuberculosis. At two referring hospitals, six sputum smears and two interferon‐gamma release assays were negative.

Lysosomal Dysfunction Is Associated With Intervertebral Disc Degeneration: Multiomics and Machine Learning Identify Molecular Subtypes and Hub Genes

open access: yesThe Journal of Gene Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is linked to lysosomal dysfunction, impaired autophagic degradation, and cellular senescence. Integrating bulk and single‐cell transcriptomics with machine learning, this study identified two lysosome‐related molecular subtypes and four hub genes: HYAL1, MMD, PLD3, and ANK3.

Lost in Translation: Why Biologic Therapies for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration and Low Back Pain Have Not Reached the Clinic (Yet)

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
From preclinical promise to clinical translation in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Robust preclinical evidence supports a range of biologic therapies, with consistent improvements in imaging, extracellular matrix composition, inflammation, and behavior.

Galectin‐4: A Novel Mediator of Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Galectin‐4 correlates with intervertebral disc degeneration, independent of age, sex, or underlying pathology. Functionally, it activates NF‐κB signaling and induces pro‐inflammatory and matrix‐degrading responses, with stronger effects in nucleus pulposus cells, identifying it as a novel molecular player in disc degeneration.
