Objectives: Bone remodelling is a highly dynamic process dependent on the precise coordination of osteoblasts and haematopoietic-cell derived osteoclasts. Changes in core metabolic pathways during osteoclastogenesis, however, are largely unexplored and it is unknown whether and how these processes are involved in bone homeostasis.
Methods: We metabolically and transcriptionally profiled cells during osteoclast and osteoblast generation.
Article Synopsis
- Plastic pollution, particularly microplastics, poses a major threat to aquatic ecosystems, especially affecting organisms that produce calcium carbonate structures like corals and molluscs.
- *Research focused on how microplastics (polystyrene and polyethylene) encapsulated in aragonite, a mineral that forms coral skeletons, and how dissolved organic matter might influence this process.
- *The study found that polyethylene microspheres encapsulated more efficiently in aragonite than polystyrene ones, leading to reduced hardness and mechanical properties, raising concerns for marine life impacted by microplastic pollution.*
Objectives: TNF-induced activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) is a critical determinant for synovial inflammation and joint destruction in RA. The detrimental role of TNF-receptor 1 (TNFR1) has thoroughly been characterized. The contributions of TNFR2, however, are largely unknown.

Methods: We conducted cardiovascular reflex tests (heart rate [HR] and blood pressure [BP] responses to the Valsalva maneuver and HR response to deep breathing) and the tilt table test with 32 subjects (19 males; mean age, 22.1±1.
Objectives: To investigate a possible association between autonomic dysfunction and fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: In 70 people with multiple sclerosis early in the disease course (51 females, mean age 33.8 ± 9.
