Bone remodeling maintains the robustness of the bone tissue by balancing bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Although these cells together play a crucial role in bone remodeling, only a few reports are available on the common factors involved in the differentiation of the two types of cells. Here, we show family with sequence similarity 102 member A (Fam102a) as a bone-remodeling factor that positively regulates both osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on the factors that affect the visibility of early gastric cancer during endoscopic procedures and how linked color imaging compares to traditional white light imaging.
- A total of 97 lesions were evaluated, with findings indicating that smaller lesions and the presence of intestinal metaplasia decreased visibility in white light imaging.
- The results showed that linked color imaging significantly improved visibility scores, especially for smaller lesions and those with intestinal metaplasia, thereby suggesting it is a more effective imaging technique for detecting early gastric cancer.
Background: Esophageal mucosal resection for superficial esophageal cancer can lead to postoperative esophageal stricture, with current preventive measures being insufficient. Sprayable wound dressings containing hydrophobized microparticles exhibit strong adhesion. This study aimed to investigate the preventive effects of hydrophobized microparticles on esophageal stenosis following endoscopic submucosal dissection.
