Runx2 and Runx3 differentially regulate articular chondrocytes during surgically induced osteoarthritis development

Nature Communications, 2022
Possible distinct contributions of Runx 2 and Runx3 in osteoarthritis have not been clarified. Nagata et al. show that Runx3 protects adult articular cartilage by extracellular matrix protein production in normal conditions, while Runx2 exerts both ...

Divergence in chondrogenic potential between in vitro and in vivo of adipose- and synovial-stem cells from mouse and human

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Somatic stem cell transplantation has been performed for cartilage injury, but the reparative mechanisms are still conflicting. The chondrogenic potential of stem cells are thought as promising features for cartilage therapy; however, the ...

The modularity of the motor system [PDF]

Philosophical Explorations, 2021
In this paper, I make a case for the modularity of the motor system. I start where many do in discussions of modularity, by considering the extent to which the motor system is cognitively penetrabl...

The Cortical Motor System [PDF]

Neuron, 2001
The cortical motor system of primates is formed by a mosaic of anatomically and functionally distinct areas. These areas are not only involved in motor functions, but also play a role in functions formerly attributed to higher order associative cortical areas.

The effects of semaphorin 3A in bone and cartilage metabolism: fundamental mechanism and clinical potential

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a neuroinformatic protein molecule with widespread expression across various tissues and organs. Recent investigations have unveiled its pivotal role in the skeletal system, primarily through its binding interactions with two co-

Delirium is associated with frequency band specific dysconnectivity in intrinsic connectivity networks: preliminary evidence from a large retrospective pilot case-control study

Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2019
Background Pathophysiological concepts in delirium are not sufficient to define objective biomarkers suited to improve clinical approaches. Advances in neuroimaging have revalued electroencephalography (EEG) as a tool to assess oscillatory network ...
