Biomechanical Analysis and Injury Prediction in Pilots With Lumbar Spondylolysis Under Different Seat Inclination Angles

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
The biomechanical responses of three lumbar models under both seat angles remain below injury thresholds. However, the occurrence of spondylolysis at a 22° angle poses a higher risk. ABSTRACT Background This study aims to quantify the biomechanical effects of different seat inclinations on the normal and spondylolysis lumbar of pilots under typical ...

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

Mechanosensitive Ion Channel PIEZO1 Suppresses BMP2‐Induced Ossification of the Annulus Fibrosus Cells

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study aimed to elucidate the function of PIEZO1in AF cells under mechanical stimulation. Low‐magnitude cyclictensile strain (CTS, 2%) suppressed osteogenic marker expression. Pharmacological activation of PIEZO1 using Yoda1 mimics the effects oflow‐strain CTS.

Light‐Responsive Surface Topographies Modulate Macrophage Immune Responses Through Dynamic Mechanical Cues

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
This work introduces light‐responsive liquid crystal polymer films that generate dynamic, reversible topographies to modulate macrophage immune responses. By switching surface features on demand, we reveal macrophage plasticity, morphological adaptation, and mechanical memory.

Cationic Poly(2‐oxazoline)s

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
Cationic poly(2‐oxazoline)s (POx) have emerged as versatile materials for different biomedical applications. The combination of the pseudo‐peptidic polymer backbone and the amine‐derived cationic motifs results in well‐tolerated polymers with potential benefits for drug and gene delivery as well as antimicrobial development.
