Perspective Applications and Associated Challenges of Using Nanocellulose in Treating Bone-Related Diseases.

Bone serves to maintain the shape of the human body due to its hard and solid nature. A loss or weakening of bone tissues, such as in case of traumatic injury, diseases (e.g., osteosarcoma), or old age, adversely affects the individuals quality of life. Although bone has the innate ability to remodel and regenerate in case of small damage or a crack, a loss of a large volume of bone in case of a traumatic injury requires the restoration of bone function by adopting different biophysical approaches and chemotherapies as well as a surgical reconstruction. Compared to the biophysical and chemothe

Rare Diseases of the Orbit.

This article provides an overview of rare orbital diseases. Congenital malformations, inflammatory diseases, benign and malignant neoplasias are described. Although it represents a relatively small area of the body the orbit contains multiple different tissues. Therefore, a great variety of diseases can be found within the orbital space. That is the reason, why both the completeness and the level of detail in the description of particular diseases must be somewhat limited. Nevertheless, clinical manifestations, important aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies, and, when specific data are a

Danshenol B alleviates central post-stroke pain by regulating the PIK3CG/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a debilitating neuropathic condition that significantly impairs quality of life and is challenging to manage. Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), a traditional Chinese herb, has demonstrated efficacy against neuropathic pain, but its active analgesic components and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of Danshenol B, an active component of Danshen, in a CPSP mouse model, focusing on its mechanism of action via the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit gamma isoform (PIK3CG)/N

Pharmacological inhibition of myostatin effectively ameliorates osteolytic lesions in syngeneic and xenograft breast cancer mouse models.

Breast cancer (BC)-derived bone metastases colonize bone and drive severe bone degradation through complex interactions with bone-resorbing osteoclasts (OCs). Subsequent bone resorption liberates matrix-stored factors, such as TGF-β and calcium, which further stimulate tumor proliferation and exacerbate bone destruction. Myostatin (Mstn), a member of the TGF-β superfamily, is known to enhance OC differentiation and bone resorption in models of musculoskeletal disease; however, its role in BC-associated bone lesions and metastases remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that bone metastases from

Towards Drug Repurposing in Cancer Cachexia: Potential Targets and Candidates.

As a multifactorial and multiorgan syndrome, cancer cachexia is associated with decreased tolerance to antitumor treatments and increased morbidity and mortality rates. The current approaches for the treatment of this syndrome are not always effective and well established. Drug repurposing or repositioning consists of the investigation of pharmacological components that are already available or in clinical trials for certain diseases and explores if they can be used for new indications. Its advantages comparing to de novo drugs development are the reduced amount of time spent and costs. In thi

Background/Objectives: Osteonecrosis of the jaw, a non-healing wound, is a side effect in patients treated with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (e.g., zoledronate) after some oral procedures. Considering zoledronate toxicity in surgical wounds and the capacity of calcium phosphate synthetic compounds to adsorb it, the aim of this work was to demonstrate and elucidate the mechanism underlying this adsorption. Methods: Four different calcium phosphate synthetic bone substitutes were used in this study: AdBone® BCP (0.5-1 mm), Guidor® easy-graft (0.5-1 mm), Maxresorb® (0.5-1 mm) and Maxresorb

Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation plays a role in relieving cancer pain.

Tumors can invade, compress, and damage nerves, leading to persistent pain and seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. However, their treatment is challenging. Sensitization of peripheral receptors, abnormal activity of primary sensory neurons, activation of glial cells, enhanced inflammatory responses, and sensory information transmission contribute towards cancer pain. Therefore, considerable attention has been paid to exploring prospective methods to inhibit the occurrence of these factors and relieve cancer pain. Studies on different types of pains have revealed that the trans

Targeting Selectins and Their Ligands in Cancer.

Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer cells with increased evidence pointing to a role in tumor progression. In particular, aberrant sialylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids has been linked to increased immune cell evasion, drug evasion, drug resistance, tumor invasiveness, and vascular dissemination, leading to metastases. Hypersialylation of cancer cells is largely the result of overexpression of sialyltransferases (STs). Differentially, humans express twenty different STs in a tissue-specific manner, each of which catalyzes the attachment of sialic acids via different glycosidi
