Article Abstract
Bone organoids offer potential for bone regeneration and in vitro organ models. Current limitations in bone organoid culture systems include low efficiency in construction and functionality, as well as increased apoptosis in prolonged cultures of larger sizes. The ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), synthesized in the liver, addresses these challenges effectively. Our findings suggest that 3HB increases intracellular calcium ion (Ca) levels in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) by activating the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCAR2). This activation initiates the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway, which elevates the expression of anti-apoptotic genes such as myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) and B cell lymphoma 2-related protein A1 (BCL2A1), thereby reducing apoptosis. Furthermore, this pathway boosts the expression of osteogenic proteins, including Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), facilitating osteogenesis in bone organoids. Consequently, 3HB may enhance the construction of bone organoids that are more mature, larger, and have longer viability.

Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is an aggressive bone and soft tissue cancer affecting adolescents and young adults. In vitro and in vivo models of EwS have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of EwS biology and essential in evaluating potential therapies, particularly for metastatic or relapsed disease where effective treatment options remain limited. Through an international collaborative effort between the Children's Oncology Group (COG) Bone Tumor Committee and the Euro Ewing Consortium (EEC), we review the current landscape of preclinical modeling used in EwS research encompassing both in vitro (cell lines and tumor organoids) and in vivo (mouse and non-mammalian xenografts) model systems.

Kidney organoids are powerful tools for renal disease modeling and nephrotoxicity screening, yet their limited structural complexity-particularly the underdevelopment of ureteric bud (UB) lineages-remains a major limitation. A novel differentiation protocol is developed that short-term activation of retinoic acid (RA) signaling during the early intermediate mesoderm (IM) stage, enabling co-induction of anterior and posterior IM lineages. This eliminates the need for UB co-culture and supports the formation of kidney organoids containing complete nephron segments.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease closely associated with aging for which current treatments are limited primarily to symptomatic relief and fail to reverse pathological progression. A growing body of evidence indicates that the accumulation of senescent cells is a central driver of OA pathogenesis. This review systematically summarizes the latest advancements in antisenescence biomaterials for OA therapy, emphasizing their potential to overcome the limitations of conventional approaches by improving drug targeting, prolonging drug release kinetics, and increasing bioavailability.

Motivation: Embryonic cells finally evolve into various types of mature cells, where cell fate determinations play pivotal roles, but dynamic features of this process remain elusive.
Results: We analyze four single-cell RNA sequencing datasets on mouse embryo cells, mouse embryonic fibroblasts, human bone marrow, and intestine organoid. We show that key (high expression) genes of each organism exhibit different statistical features and expression patterns before and after branch, e.
