In the context of bone fractures, the influence of the mechanical environment on the healing outcome is widely accepted, while its influence at the cellular level is still poorly understood. This study explores the influence of mechanical load on naïve mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation, focusing on hypertrophic chondrocyte differentiation. Unlike primary bone healing, which involves the direct differentiation of MSCs into bone-forming cells, endochondral ossification uses an intermediate cartilage template that remodels into bone.

The growth plate is the primary site of longitudinal bone growth with chondrocytes playing a pivotal role in endochondral bone development. Chondrocytes undergo a series of differentiation steps, resulting in the formation of a unique hierarchical columnar structure comprising round, proliferating, pre-hypertrophic, and hypertrophic chondrocytes. Pre-hypertrophic chondrocytes, which exist in the transitional stage between proliferating and hypertrophic stages, are a critical cell population in the growth plate.

Background: The two classic manifestations of primary aldosteronism are hypertension and hypokalemia. However, acute respiratory failure due to hypokalemia in primary hyperaldosteronism is rare.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 27-year-old female who presented with drowsiness and weakness in all extremities.

Introduction/aims: Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 is involved in nucleic acid homeostatic functions. The encoding gene HNRNPA1 has been associated with several neuromuscular disorders including an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like phenotype, distal hereditary motor neuropathy, multisystem proteinopathy, and various myopathies. We report two unrelated individuals with monoallelic stop loss variants affecting the same codon of HNRNPA1.
