The Protective Effects of Osteocyte-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Against Alzheimer's Disease Diminished with Aging. [PDF]
It is found that the osteocyte‐derived extracellular vesicles (OCY‐EVs) isolated from young osteocytes can ameliorate cognitive impairment and pathogenies of AD, but not OCY‐EVs isolated from aged osteocytes. OCY‐EV can transfer to the brain under physiological and pathological conditions. The study uncovers the role of OCY‐EVs as a regulator of brain,

Prey capture by the non-native carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea across sites in Britain and Ireland. [PDF]
We surveyed prey capture by the carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea at six sites in its non‐native range. We demonstrated that prey capture varies in ecologically significant ways between populations, but overall there is no difference in prey capture patterns in the plants non‐native compared to native range. Abstract The carnivorous pitcher

Radiation Induces Bone Microenvironment Disruption by Activating the STING-TBK1 Pathway
Background and Objectives: Damage to normal bone tissue following therapeutic irradiation (IR) represents a significant concern, as IR-induced bone microenvironment disruption can cause bone loss and create a more favorable environment for tumor ...

Autonomic Nervous System in Bone Remodeling: From Mechanisms to Novel Therapies in Orthopedic Diseases. [PDF]
Due to the close connection between the autonomic nervous system and skeletal system, large amounts of evidence have shown that neuromodulation plays a crucial role in regulating bone metabolism. Clinically, neuromodulation has exhibited promising therapeutic effects in treating joint disorders by significantly reducing inflammation and clinical scores.

Osteocyte RANKL Drives Bone Resorption in Mouse Ligature‐Induced Periodontitis
ABSTRACT Mouse ligature‐induced periodontitis (LIP) has been used to study bone loss in periodontitis. However, the role of osteocytes in LIP remains unclear. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the choice of alveolar bone parameters and time points to evaluate LIP.

ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) have advanced our understanding of the genetics of osteoporosis; however, the challenge has been converting associations to causal genes. Studies have utilized transcriptomics data to link disease‐associated variants to genes, but few population transcriptomics data sets have been generated on bone at ...

High Bone Mass Disorders: New Insights From Connecting the Clinic and the Bench
ABSTRACT Monogenic high bone mass (HBM) disorders are characterized by an increased amount of bone in general, or at specific sites in the skeleton. Here, we describe 59 HBM disorders with 50 known disease‐causing genes from the literature, and we provide an overview of the signaling pathways and mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these ...

Osteocytes Serve as a Progenitor Cell of Osteosarcoma [PDF]
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary bone tumor in humans. However, the cell of origin of OSA is not clearly defined although there is evidence that osteoblasts may serve as OSA progenitors.
