Bone and cartilage diseases are often associated with trauma and senescence, manifested as pain and limited mobility. The repair of bone and cartilage lesion by mesenchymal stem cells is regulated by various transcription factors. WW domain-containing protein 1 (WWP1) and WW domain-containing protein 2 (WWP2) are named for WW domain which recognizes PPXY (phono Ser Pro and Pro Arg) motifs of substrate.

Interleukin (IL)-36 is a family of cytokines that belongs to the larger IL-1 superfamily. IL-36 agonist/antagonist binds to the interleukin-36 receptor involving in physiological inflammation regulation and pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. In inflammatory joint diseases, the expression of IL-36 changes, and some studies have initially explored the role of IL-36 in these diseases.

This study aims to construct a composite system of the tri-block polyethylene glycol injectable hydrogel (3B-PEG IH) and neural epithelial growth factor-like protein 1 (Nell-1), and to analyze its therapeutic effect on temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). Sol-gel transition temperature was measured via inverting test. The viscoelastic modulus curves was measured by rheometer.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is mainly manifested as perforation of temporomandibular joint disc (TMJD) and destruction of condylar osteochondral complex (COCC). In recent years, tissue engineering technology has become one of the effective strategies in repairing this damage. With the development of scaffold material technology, composite scaffolds have become an important means to optimize the performance of scaffolds with the combined advantages of natural materials and synthetic materials.

The objective of our study was to use an established cohort of boys to investigate common patterns of malformations in those with hypospadias. We performed a retrospective review of the phenotype of participants in the Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study with neurodevelopmental delay and an 'Abnormality of the genital system'. This group was divided into two subgroups: those with hypospadias and without hypospadias.

Extra-genital congenital anomalies are often present in cases of hypospadias, but it is unclear whether they have an association with the outcome of hypospadias surgery. The aim of this study was to review all hypospadias cases that had surgery between 2009 and 2015 at a single centre and identify clinical determinants of the surgical outcome. An extra-genital congenital anomaly was reported in 139 (22%) boys and 62 (10%) had more than 1 anomaly.

Importance: Based on studies with relatively small sample size, fragility fractures are commonly reported in glucocorticoid (GC)-treated boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Objective: To determine the fracture burden and growth impairment in a large contemporary cohort of boys with DMD in the United Kingdom and in relation to GC regimen.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective review of fracture morbidity and growth from 832 boys with DMD in the UK NorthStar database (2006-2015), which systematically captures information from 23 participating centers.

There are limited reports of radiologically confirmed fractures and bone health monitoring in with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We performed a retrospective study of 91 boys, with a median age of 11.0 years, who are currently managed in Scotland with the aim to assess the frequency of radiologically confirmed fractures and report on bone health monitoring in relation to International Care Consensus Guidance.
