50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Molecular pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder: Focus on the fibroblast growth factor 23–Klotho axis and bone turnover dynamics

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) is a major complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by disruptions in mineral metabolism, abnormal bone turnover and vascular calcification, which collectively increase the risk of fractures and cardiovascular disease.

Homozygous Achondroplasia With Long‐Term Survival: Growth Patterns, Medical Interventions, and Practice Implications

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1372-1377, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Homozygous achondroplasia is widely considered perinatal lethal by the medical community. In this case series, we report two children from a single family with longer‐term survival. One child lived for 17 months and the other was 60 months at the time of publication.

Expanding the Evaluation of Skeletal Anomalies in Patients With KBG Syndrome: Recommendations for Clinical Practice

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1306-1314, June 2026.
ABSTRACT KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by ANKRD11 haploinsufficiency and is characterized by short stature, distinctive facial features, intellectual disability or developmental delay, congenital anomalies and skeletal anomalies.

Muscle Health and Prognosis in Patients With Cancer: New Insights

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Reduced muscle mass and impaired composition have each been independently associated with worse outcomes in patients with cancer. However, emerging evidence suggests that reduced muscle strength—namely, dynapenia—may be particularly important for prognostication, as it is easier to assess in clinical practice compared to muscle mass.

Secretome and Pathway Analysis of Stress Induced Disc Degeneration In Vitro

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Integrated secretome and phosphoprotein profiling of human nucleus pulposus cells revealed that IL‐1β and TLR2/6 activation induce a shared degenerative program, defined by consistent upregulation of IL‐6, IL‐8, GRO‐α, ICAM‐1, and MMP‐7 and convergence on NF‐κB/AP‐1 signaling.

Viscoelastic and Morphologic Changes in the Lumbar Intervertebral Discs of the 5xFAD Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
The intervertebral discs (IVDs) from mice with amyloid pathologies are larger, flatter, and exhibit increased energy absorption, making these IVDs more susceptible to damage. This heightened vulnerability may predispose elderly individuals with AD to disc injuries, accelerating IVD degeneration and spinal pain. ABSTRACT Background Chronic low back pain,
