Article Abstract
Actin rings are unique structures that facilitate the attachment of osteoclasts to the bone matrix during bone resorption. Previous studies have shown that tetraspanin7 (TSPAN7) plays an important role in the reorganization of the cytoskeleton necessary for the bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts. However, questions remain as to the mechanisms by which TSPAN7 regulates this cytoskeletal rearrangement. In this study, we investigated the roles of TSPAN7 in osteoclasts by deleting the Tm4sf2 gene in mice, which encodes TSPAN7. The Tm4sf2 global knockout model showed protective effects on pathological bone loss, but no discernible changes in bone phenotypes under physiological conditions. In vitro study revealed that ablation of Tm4sf2 caused significant defects in integrin-mediated actin ring formation, thereby leading to significantly decreased bone resorption. Additionally, we demonstrated an association between TSPAN7 and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-кB/αvβ3 integrin. Overall, our findings suggest that TSPAN7 acts as a novel modulator regulating the bone-resorbing function of osteoclasts.

Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation critically impair diabetic bone defect repair. Here, a radially oriented microchannel scaffold (D-GSH@QZ) was developed via a directional freezing technique integrated with photo-cross-linking strategies. The scaffold was fabricated from gelatin methacryloyl, silk fibroin methacryloyl, and nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) to mimic the natural bone matrix, while incorporating quercetin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (Qu@ZIF-8) for pathological microenvironment modulation.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common bone metabolic disorder in middle-aged and elderly women, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study investigates the effect of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) deficiency on bone homeostasis to provide insight into the mechanisms underlying PMOP. Sixteen female SD rats were randomly assigned to Sham and ovariectomized (OVX) groups.

Background: Hemi-hamate osteochondral grafting is a surgical technique that is utilized to reconstruct the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint in cases of unstable dorsal fracture-dislocation with >50% articular surface involvement. However, hemi-hamate osteochondral grafting can be technically challenging, has been reported to have various technical modifications, and can lead to complications such as overstuffing of the joint. This surgical technique article describes successful PIP joint reconstruction with use of a hemi-capitate osteochondral graft, which may offer a viable alternative to hemi-hamate osteochondral graft.

Introduction: Charcot neuroarthropathy (CNO) of foot characterised by an increased bone turnover denoted by serological markers of bone resorption. However, histological characteristics of foot bones in people with CNO are not well elucidated.
Methods: The foot bone samples were collected from patients who had either surgical reconstruction or below-knee amputations for chronic CNO foot ( = 10, Group A), unsalvageable diabetic foot ulcer ( = 16, Group B), and non-diabetic healthy controls following road traffic accident ( = 16, group C).
