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.

Recent advances in the structure, function and regulation of the volume‐regulated anion channels and their role in immunity

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The volume‐regulated anion channel (VRAC), composed of leucine‐rich repeat‐containing 8 (LRRC8) proteins, serves both canonical and non‐canonical functions in vertebrate cells. The canonical function of this channel relates to its original description, which is homeostatic regulation of cell volume in response to hypotonic ...

Ultrafine‐Grained Materials With Antibacterial Properties: A Novel Approach to Reducing Spinal Implant‐Associated Infections

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
This is the first in vivo study to demonstrate that ultrafine‐grained stainless steel possesses potential antibacterial properties capable of resisting the adhesion of bacteria and, subsequently, microcolony formation and biofilm maturation. Incorporating ultrafine‐grained materials in the manufacture of orthopedic implants or medical devices could ...

Tall Stature and Scoliosis Associated With a Novel Homozygous Loss‐of‐Function Missense Variant in NPR3

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT NPR3‐related tall stature is characterized by tall stature, elongated big toes, and additional epiphyses in hand and foot bones. The condition is caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function variants affecting natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3). Five individuals from four different families have been reported.

Toxicological analyses of the bone matrix: Successes and challenges

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1001-1021, August 2025.
Abstract This study aimed to conduct an in‐depth and systematic literature review dealing with toxicological analyses on human bone tissue and focusing on the forensic toxicological and archaeotoxicological field. Several studies have focused their research on medical drugs, drugs of abuse, and trace elements on both human cadavers and skeletal remains,

Impact of the visceral adipose tissue on bone quality in patients with untreated mild‐to‐severe obstructive sleep apnea

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 4, August 2025.
Summary Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) predominantly affects patients who are obese and causes systemic organ damage. Little is known about the relationship between fat distribution and bone impairment in these patients. We aimed to evaluate the impact of the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) on the bone quality of patients with OSA.
