Physical activity is an important factor for maintaining and probably increasing bone mass in humans. However, the mechanism by which this takes place is not completely understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of physical exercise on serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and in particular, the bone isoforms of ALP. Six ALP isoforms were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography: three bone (B/I, B1, and B2), and three liver ALP isoforms. In addition, serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and other markers of bone formation and degradation, as measured by osteocalcin and cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), were analyzed. The study groups comprised 15 women, 8 postmenopausal (range 51-62 years) and 7 near age of peak bone mass (range 21-27 years). When the postmenopausal women exercised on an ergometer cycle until exhaustion we found significant increases in serum of bone ALP isoforms B1 and B2, and phosphate, even considering the hemoconcentration that occurred during the exercise. When the young women jogged in a moderate tempo for 40-40 minutes the levels of serum B2 and PTH increased. All changes turned towards baseline within 20 minutes after exercise. In conclusion, exercise increased serum ALP bone isoforms B1 and B2, and their responses were differentiated. As B1 and B2 are known to represent specific bone compartments, cortical and trabecular bone, the present findings may indicate different effects on bone of weight- and nonweight-bearing exercise.

Article Synopsis
- Decellularized extracellular matrix sheets (dECMSs) derived from stem cells maintain the natural biological functions of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and show lower immunogenicity, making them valuable for directing cell differentiation.
- A study was conducted to analyze the expression levels of laminins, a core ECM protein, across different types of dECMSs (osteogenic, chondrogenic, and standard), revealing significant differences in their abundance and associated pathways linked to cellular behaviors.
- Experiments showed that CI-dECMS encourages cartilage formation while OI-dECMS inhibits bone formation, and both dECMS types were successful in enhancing bone and cartilage healing in an animal model, highlighting their potential as biomimetic materials for tissue regeneration

Objective: Filamin B (FLNB) encodes an actin-binding protein that is known to function as a novel RNA-binding protein involved in cell movement and signal transduction and plays a pivotal role in bone growth. This study aimed to investigate possible FLNB function in the skeletal system by characterizing the effecs of FLNB knockdown in mouse preosteoblast cells.
Methods: Stable FLNB MC3T3-E1 knockdown cells were constructed for RNA-seq and alternative splicing event (ASE) analysis of genes involved in osteoblast differentiation and function that may be regulated by FLNB.

There has been a surge of interest in covalent inhibitors for protein kinases in recent years. Despite success in oncology, the off-target reactivity of these molecules is still hampering the use of covalent warhead-based strategies. Herein, we disclose the development of precision-guided warheads to mitigate the off-target challenge.

The liver has a distinctive capacity to regenerate, yet severe acute injury can be life-threatening if not treated appropriately. Inflammation and oxidative stress are central processes implicated in the pathophysiology of acute livery injury. NOX isoforms are important enzymes for ROS generation, NF-κB and NLRP3 activation, its inhibition could be vital in alleviating acute liver injury (ALI).

This study used patient ALP historical data to statistically derive sex- and age-specific reference intervals.
Methods: The ALP values reported as part of clinical management during an 18 month period (from July 2021 to March 2023) were obtained.
