Harnessing energy metabolism for enhanced bone defect repair: Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenge of bone defect repair by focusing on the underexplored role of cellular energy metabolism. It synthesizes regulatory mechanisms in bone‐forming cells and sums up innovative strategies—leveraging cell derivatives, active factors, and biomimetic scaffolds—to modulate metabolism for enhanced regeneration.

Long‐Term Outcomes After Slowly Resorbable P4HB Mesh Implantation: A Multicenter Analysis From European Registry

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Fully resorbable biosynthetic mesh composed of poly‐4‐hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), have been designed for incisional hernia (IH) repair, including in contaminated surgical fields. While existing studies have demonstrated its safety and efficacy in the short term, comprehensive long‐term data, particularly after complete mesh resorption, remain scarce ...

Lactate potentiates NMDA receptor currents via an intracellular redox mechanism targeting GluN2B subunits: implications for synaptic plasticity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Astrocyte‐derived lactate enhances neuronal NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function and synaptic plasticity through a redox‐ and CaMKII‐dependent mechanism. Lactate enters neurons via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and is oxidized by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to pyruvate, generating NADH and increasing the intracellular NADH/NAD ...
