Keeping in mind the premise “living longer, living better”, this commentary is the result of the thoughts, proposals and conclusions obtained after one year working in the framework of this network. Osteoporosis is a worldwide … Leer más
Bone-tissue engineering is a therapeutic target in the field of dental implant and orthopedic surgery. It is therefore essential to find a microenvironment that enhances the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts both from mesenchymal stem … Leer más
Gene candidate and genome-wide association studies have revealed tens of loci of susceptibility for osteoporosis. The results underscore the significance of the LRP5 gene in bone metabolism and emphasize the significance of the replication of … Leer más
Denosumab increased significantly bone mass in all three dual X-ray absorptiometry standard sites, while alendronate did not at total hip. No benefit was observed in men previously treated with alendronate who switched to denosumab treatment. … Leer más
Our results show: (i) retinoic acid affects proliferative and mineralogenic activities in two fish skeletal cell types and (ii) that during phenotype transitions, specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors and bone-related genes are differentially expressed in a … Leer más
The magnitude of the problem of osteoporosis in psoriatic arthritis seems to be mild. To assess the bone mineral density (BMD) and the frequency of osteoporosis and clinical fractures in a large group of Spanish … Leer más
The results highlight the PUFA metabolism differences between uninduced and induced MSC to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, besides the relevant role of the lipoxygenase gene expression in adipogenesis induction. Autor: Casado-Díaz A, Ferreiro-Vera C, Priego-Capote … Leer más
Pharmacological inhibition of LPA1 receptor in the K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis model led to reduction of severity of arthritis involving multiple mechanisms, increased apoptosis, reduced inflammatory mediators and proteins involved in bone remodelling, that show LPA1 as … Leer más
A particular subset of postmenopausal patients with high remodeling and/or low subchondral bone density may benefit from the treatment with bone-acting agents hindering OA progression. This OA population could be identified with the simultaneous use … Leer más
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass increased circulating osteopontin levels, while they remained unaltered after sleeve gastrectomy. The increase in osteopontin levels after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass could be related to the increased bone resorption in relation to its … Leer más
