Ascorbic Acid Modulates Collagen Properties in Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteoporotic Bone: Insights into Chemical, Mechanical, and Biological Regulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Osteoporosis from long‐term glucocorticoid (GIOP) use elevates susceptibility to fracture. This study shows GCs impair ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism in osteoblasts, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix integrity. AA enhanced collagen biochemical and mechanical properties and restored osteoblast and endothelial function. These findings underscore

Geometry‐Guided Osteogenesis in Bone‐on‐a‐Chip Systems Using Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Scaffolds

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bone‐on‐a‐chip platform incorporating TPMS scaffolds to study geometry‐dependent osteogenesis under dynamic flow. By tuning pore shape and solidity, it precisely controls mechanical cues, revealing how topological features and shear stress affect osteogenic differentiation and matrix formation.

Gentamicin‐Loaded Carbonate Apatite with Dual Antibacterial and Osteogenic Functions for Combating Surgical Site Infections

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bone substitute with gentamicin physically precipitated onto the surface of carbonate apatite exhibits prompt drug release, high bactericidal activity, and osteogenic capacity. Efficient antibacterial activity mitigates early postoperative neutrophil accumulation, the status of which may serve as a potential parameter for evaluating the antibacterial

Reference loci for RT-qPCR analysis of differentiating human embryonic stem cells [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Selecting stably expressed reference genes is essential for proper reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction gene expression analysis. However, this choice is not always straightforward. In the case of differentiating human

Exploring Functionally Enhanced BLP‐Trained Macrophage Subpopulations in S. Aureus Infection: Underlying Mechanisms and Therapeutic Significance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BLP‐trained macrophages show augmented resistance to infection, but their mechanisms remain unclear. scRNA‐seq identified 13 BMDM subsets, with two novel anti‐inflammatory/antibacterial subpopulations (C5/C7) emerging post‐BLP training. BLP training activates NRF2, attenuates oxidative stress/ferroptosis, and boosts glycolysis/OXPHOS. Adoptive transfer

RNA processing: Pocket guides to ribosomal RNA [PDF]

Current Biology, 1997
The functional role of a recently identified class of small nucleolar (sno) RNAs has been elucidated: the 'box H/ACA' snoRNAs act as guide RNAs, specifying the position of evolutionarily conserved pseudouridines in ribosomal (r)RNA via an rRNA-snoRNA base-pairing interaction that forms a 'pseudouridine pocket'.

DKK3 Initially Preserves Acinar Integrity Through MEK‐Fos Signaling, but Later Switches to an Oncogenic Role in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In pancreatic cancer, the protein DKK3 is found to play a complex role: it initially slows early tumor growth but later promotes tumor aggressiveness. DKK3 expression evolves during progression and drives cancer severity by orchestrating cellular and molecular signaling pathways.
