Osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]

The Lancet, 2016
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a phenotypically and molecularly heterogeneous group of inherited connective tissue disorders that share similar skeletal abnormalities causing bone fragility and deformity. Previously, the disorder was thought to be an autosomal dominant bone dysplasia caused by defects in type I collagen, but in the past 10 years ...

Osteogensis imperfecta

Pan African Medical Journal, 2021
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare hereditary connective tissue disorder that affects the bones fragility. It causes the bones to break easily. The defective gene affects the body mechanism to form collagen, which strengthens the bone. A 20-year-old male patient came with complaints of pain in the left leg since morning.

Somewhere to go: a position paper on addressing gaps in transition care for adults with childhood-onset rare diseases

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Adults with childhood-onset rare disease face many challenges when transitioning from pediatric services to adult care. While they often received specialized pediatric care, the adult healthcare system provides few resources for those whose rare disease ...

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Apolipoprotein D alleviates glucocorticoid-induced osteogenesis suppression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via the PI3K/Akt pathway

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background To clarify the role of apolipoprotein D (Apod) in alleviating glucocorticoid-induced osteogenesis suppression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via the PI3K/Akt pathway, thus influencing the progression of osteoporosis (OP). Methods

An Ion‐Based Strategy Toward Synergistic Surface Functionalization Combining the Osteogenic Properties and NIR‐Mediated Antibacterial Activity of PEEK

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional bioactive PEEK‐based implant (Mn@p/MBG‐SPEEK) is engineered to combat implant‐associated infections while promoting osteogenesis. The hybrid surface activates PI3K/Akt/mTOR and AP‐1 signaling pathways for osteogenic differentiation, while Mn coordination induces electronic coupling that narrows the HOMO‐LUMO energy gap and enhances ...
