Article Abstract
Osteoporosis, a global bone disease, results in decreased bone density, mass, and microarchitecture deterioration, increasing fracture risk. In previous research, FRATtide, a peptide derived from a glycogen synthase kinase-3 binding protein, effectively hindered osteoclast differentiation to yield therapeutically potent derivatives via single and double stapling. However, FRATtide's structure-activity relationship remains unclear. This study synthesized 25 FRATtide-derived peptides through systematic alanine scanning and evaluated their activities. Substitutions in Pro, Leu, Leu, Val, Leu, Ser Asn, Leu, Ile, Glu, Arg, Ser, and Arg showed reduced activity, while FRT13 and FRT20 with Gly and Arg substitutions, respectively, displayed enhanced activities. F-actin binding and bone resorption assays on FRT13 and FRT20 showed better inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption compared with FRATtide. This study elucidated FRATtide's structure-activity relationship, thereby facilitating future structural optimization for osteoporosis treatment.

Osteoporotic fractures are notoriously difficult to heal due to an imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Current treatments often have limited efficacy or adverse side effects, necessitating safer and more effective solutions. Here, we developed an injectable plant-derived phosphate coordination compound-based adhesive hydrogel (MgPA-Gel) to restore bone homeostasis by integrating magnesium ions (Mg)-phytic acid (PA) nanoparticles with aminated gelatin (Gel-NH) and aldehydated starch (AS).

Bone defect therapy frequently encounters bacterial infections and chronic inflammation, which impair bone regeneration and threaten implant stability. Iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted attention due to cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility, and metabolic safety. However, iron oxide nanoparticles still struggle to balance low-temperature efficient antibacterial activity, effective immunomodulation, and bone regeneration.

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic, systemic skeletal disorder characterized by progressive bone loss and microarchitectural deterioration, which increases fracture susceptibility and presents a challenging set of global healthcare problems. Current pharmacological interventions are limited by adverse effects, high costs, and insufficient long-term efficacy. Here, we identify snow crab shell-derived polypeptides (SCSP) as a potent osteoprotective agent.

The objective of this research was to use a network toxicology approach to examine the possible toxicity of the cigarette toxicants nicotine and coal tar that cause osteoporosis (OP) as well as its molecular processes. We determined the primary chemical structures and 128 targets of action of tar and nicotine using the Swiss Target Prediction, NP-MRD, and PubChem databases. We discovered that genes including DNAJB1, CCDC8, LINC00888, ATP6V1G1, MPV17L2, PPCS, and TACC1 had a disease prognostic guiding value by LASSO analysis and differential analysis of GEO microarray data.

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.
