Four rare cases of congenital saddle-nose deformity and slowly progressive degeneration of laryngeal cartilages with stenosis are described. The term inherited degenerative chondropathy is suggested for this disease entity. To our knowledge this is the first article on such a disease.

Peptide nanofibers have been attractive targets for regenerative medicine applications due to their tailorability to be easily functionalized for specific bioactivity, biocompatibility, ease of synthesis, adjustability of their physicochemical characteristics, and lack of biological contamination. Research groups have investigated their use for the regeneration of various tissues, such as bone, cartilage, brain, peripheral nerves, cardiac tissue, vascular tissues, endocrine cells, muscles, etc., for the treatment of degenerative diseases or tissue loss due to accidents or aging.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a common degenerative disease that causes chronic pain and joint dysfunction. However, the current understanding of TMJOA pathogenesis is limited and necessitates further research. Animal models are crucial for investigating TMJOA due to the scarcity of clinical samples.

The infiltration and excessive polarization of M1 macrophages contribute to the induction and persistence of low-grade inflammation in joint-related degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). The lipid metabolism dysregulation promotes M1 macrophage polarization by coordinating the compensatory pathways of the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Here, a self-assembling, licofelone-loaded nanoparticle (termed LCF-CSBN), comprising chondroitin sulfate and bilirubin joined by an ethylenediamine linker, is developed to selectively reprogram lipid metabolism in macrophage activation.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative musculoskeletal disease, featured by the destruction of articular cartilage. Oxidative stress, one of the drivers of the extracellular matrix degradation in cartilage, plays a vital role in OA pathogenesis. Senkyunolide I (SEI) is a natural compound with a prominent anti-oxidative stress property against multiple diseases.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been shown to play a pivotal role in modulating cartilage regeneration and immune responses, particularly in the context of diseases that involve both degenerative processes and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis (OA). However, the precise mechanism through which IL-6 and other immune-regulatory factors influence the therapeutic efficacy of autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) transplantation in OA treatment remains to be fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the relationship between IL-6 expression in autologous ASCs isolated from OA patients and their impact on immune modulation, particularly focusing on the regulation of Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa-Β Ligand (RANKL), a key mediator of immune-driven cartilage degradation in OA.
