The authors describe an adverse localized cutaneous reaction caused by the injection of disodium clodronate, histologically presenting as a necrobiotic palisading granuloma. This lesion is considered as an immunological type of granuloma that can be caused by various chemical or physical stimuli. Disodium clodronate should be included among the medicaments that can trigger this infrequent type of tissue reaction.

Recently approved adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors for liver monogenic diseases haemophilia A and B are exemplifying the success of liver-directed viral gene therapy. In parallel, additional gene therapy strategies are rapidly emerging to overcome some inherent AAV limitations, such as the non-persistence of the episomal transgene in the rapidly growing liver and immune response. Viral integrating vectors such as in vivo lentiviral gene therapy and non-viral vectors such as lipid nanoparticles encapsulating mRNA (LNP-mRNA) are rapidly being developed, currently at the preclinical and clinical stages, respectively.

During viral infection, phagocytic cells participate in numerous immunological processes. A common approach to elucidate the specific contributions of phagocytic cells is through direct comparison of viral pathogenesis of phagocyte-depleted and phagocyte-intact animals. Clodronate liposomes are a versatile and simple means of depleting phagocytes in any animal model.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common type of joint disease in elderly people and is characterized by pain and dysfunction. Although the monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced model is widely used as a rodent KOA model, it is important to acknowledge the inherent limitations of this model, as the MIA model develops complex pathological phases on a daily basis. An accurate understanding of this model and the selection of an appropriate time point according to the target for drug candidates can lead to the development of clinically effective drugs.

Iron is an essential element for physiological cellular processes, but is toxic in excess. Iron overload diseases are commonly associated with low bone mass. Increased bone resorption by osteoclasts as well as decreased bone formation by osteoblasts have been implicated in bone loss under iron overload conditions.
