Skeletal stem cells, a new direction for the treatment of bone and joint diseases.

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are tissue-specific stem cells characterized by their capacity for self-renewal and their position at the apex of the differentiation hierarchy. They can generate mature bone cell types essential for bone development, maintenance, and repair. Lineage tracing experiments have demonstrated that SSCs reside in the bone marrow, periosteum, and the resting zone of the growth plate. These findings not only enhance our understanding of bone growth and development mechanisms but also offer novel therapeutic strategies for conditions such as epiphyseal injuries, fractures, os

This review emphasizes the globally accepted physical activity guidelines and explores the various molecular adaptations that occur with continuous exercise. It is essential to highlight the critical roles of cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and muscle mass in reducing mortality and enhancing quality of life. It has been shown in various studies that there are certainly substantial reductions in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among individuals with high cardiorespiratory fitness levels. Resistance training is also examined, which, likewise, reveals significant mortality be

Onco-Cardiology: Consensus Paper of the German Cardiac Society, the German Society for Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Defects and the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology.

The acute and long-lasting side effects of modern multimodal tumour therapy significantly impair quality of life and survival of patients afflicted with malignancies. The key components of this therapy include radiotherapy, conventional chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapies. In addition to established tumour therapy strategies, up to 30 new therapies are approved each year with only incompletely characterised side effects. This consensus paper discusses the risk factors that contribute to the development of a potentially adverse reaction to tumour therapy and, in addition, defines

Osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand as biomarkers for bone resorption-related disorders.

Osteoclastic bone diseases represent a significant health burden, especially in an aging population, due to imbalances in bone homeostasis that result in postmenopausal osteoporosis, inflammatory arthritis, malignancy-induced bone disease and secondary metabolic conditions, which result in fragility fractures, disability and death. Although advances in imaging and pharmacology have enhanced management, existing diagnostic strategies have poor sensitivity in detecting early-stage pathological changes or fracture risk. The NF-kappaB/receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin

Cancer metastasis to the bone: Mechanisms and animal models (Review).

The majority of cancer-related deaths result from tumor metastasis, with bone metastasis occurring in almost all types of malignant tumors. Understanding the mechanism by which tumors metastasize to bone is critical for the identification of novel therapeutic targets. A large amount of research has been carried out using animal models, and these models have been crucial in advancing the fundamental understanding of cancer. However, current models are limited; although they can mimic specific stages of the metastatic process, they are not able to replicate the entire process from tumorigenesis

Bone cements for percutaneous vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty: Current status and future developments.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) have gradually evolved into a serious health care problem globally. In order to reduce the morbidity of OVCF patients and improve their life quality, two minimally invasive surgery procedures, vertebroplasty (VP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP), have been developed. Both VP and BKP require the injection of bone cement into the vertebrae of patients to stabilize fractured vertebra. As such, bone cement as the filling material plays an essential role in the effectiveness of these treatments. In this review article, we summarize the bone cements

Cancer-related hypercalcemia and potential treatments.

Cancer-related hypercalcemia is a common finding typically seen in patients with advanced cancer and occurs in about 20 to 30 percent of cases. The most common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients is hypercalcemia due to malignancy.This clinical problem is seen in patients with both solid tumors and patients with hematologic malignancies. Hypercalcemia is associated with a poor prognosis in oncology patients. This pathologic condition can occur due to many different mechanisms but is usually caused by abnormal calcium use resulting from bone resorption, intestinal absorption, or ren

Позвоните посредникам в Множественной миеломе: увязка ожирения с болезнями костей с помощью воспаленных путей.

У пациентов, у которых диагностирован множественный миелома (ММ), основные жалобы на момент диагностики часто связаны с костями, что существенно влияет на качество жизни и повышает заболеваемость и смертность. Ожирение ассоциируется с хроническим воспалительным состоянием, которое приводит к производству различных цитокинов и адипокинов, что может способствовать разрушению костей. Адипониктин, адипокин, в основном скрытый адипоцитами, значительно сокращается в обращении среди лиц с ожирением, что также наблюдается в MM. Это сокращение может привести к нарушению и без того скомпрометированной а

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells as Living Therapeutics Targeting Senescence and Age-Related Diseases.

The aging of the global population exacerbates the burden of age-related diseases; however, therapies that can intervene in fundamental aging processes are lacking. Senescent cells drive chronic inflammation and multitissue dysfunction through the secretion of proinflammatory and profibrotic senescence-associated secretory phenotype cells, making them emerging therapeutic targets. Although first-generation senolytic drugs have entered clinical trials, they face limitations such as insufficient targeting specificity and transient efficacy. The success of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T

Frailty in Aging and the Search for the Optimal Biomarker: A Review.

In the context of accelerated aging of the population worldwide, frailty has emerged as one of the main risk factors that can lead to loss of self-sufficiency in older people. This syndrome is defined as a reduced state of physiological reserve and functional capacity. The main diagnostic tools for frailty are based on scales that show deficits compared to their clinical application, such as the Fried frailty phenotype, among others. In this context, it is important to have one or more biomarkers with clinical applicability that can objectively and precisely determine the degree or risk of fra
