Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) collapse redefines osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, and osteoporosis as disorders of organelle dysfunction. Damaged mitochondria leak mtDNA and metabolites, driving cGAS‐STING inflammation, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic memory.

ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicle therapies have been developed for tissue repair, but how donor‐cell senescence reshapes vesicle‐mediated mitochondrial transfer remains unclear. Here, we show that senescent adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) redirect damaged mitochondria into microvesicles (MVs), converting protective vesicles into pro‐degenerative ...

Fuyuan Huoxue decoction improves lumbar interbody fusion in rats while reducing inflammatory macrophage activity and supporting bone‐forming stem cells. Experiments implicate extracellular DNA and TLR9/NF‐κB signaling in early responses. These findings point to coordinated control of inflammation and osteogenesis as a potential route to stronger spinal

The expression of FOXC2 in human nucleus pulposus tissue.
(A) The expression of FOXC2 exhibited significantly higher levels in 4 degenerative nucleus pulposus tissue compared to 4 idiopathic scoliosis nucleus pulposus tissue.

Mechanical loading is inherently related to the function and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. We present a series of experiments aimed at measuring the effect of a loading/unloading cycle of the intervertebral disc on the mechanical properties of

ABSTRACT Gross anatomy is a foundational first‐year component of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum, with limited future vertical integration. Retrieval practice and spaced learning to enhance retention are rarely embedded in second‐year DPT coursework.

Abstract Background The notochord is a midline structure essential for vertebrate embryogenesis, contributing to the development of the nervous system, digestive tract, and vertebral column. In particular, notochord signaling is indispensable for proper patterning and coordinated development of alternating vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs ...
