Nano MiRNA‐Functionating Tetrahedral Framework Nucleic Acid for Cartilage‐Targeted Ferritinophagy Modulation to Attenuate Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Current temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) treatments lack progression control. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) offer therapeutic potential but face delivery hurdles. A novel nanodelivery system is developed using tetrahedral framework nucleic acids functionalized with miR‐143‐3p (tFNAs‐143). Tested in TMJOA models and inflammatory conditions, tFNAs‐143

Piezo‐type mechanosensitive cation channel 1 in bone biomechanics and its multidimensional distribution characteristics in skeletal tissue

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
PIEZO1 is highly correlated with mechanical stimulation, controlling bone growth and remodeling, while showing specific distribution characteristics under distinct loads. Upon dialectical review, this manuscript proposes that PIEZO1 could serve as a target for osteoporosis and a quantitative indicator for monitoring bone health in real‐time.
