Mitochondria in osteoblasts have been demonstrated to play multiple crucial functions in bone formation from intracellular adenosine triphosphate production to extracellular secretion of mitochondrial components. The present review explores the current knowledge about mitochondrial biology in osteoblasts, including mitochondrial biogenesis, bioenergetics, oxidative stress generation, and dynamic changes in morphology. Special attention is given to recent findings, including mitochondrial donut formation in osteoblasts, which actively generates mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs), followed by extracellular secretion of small mitochondria and MDVs. We also discuss the therapeutic effects of targeting osteoblast mitochondria, highlighting their potential applications in improving bone health.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone metabolic disease caused by decreased bone mass leading to destruction of bone microstructure. Treatment of OP is characterized by a lifelong nature, causing extreme financial and psychological burdens to patients. Hormonal abnormalities, cellular autophagy, Ferroptosis, and oxidative stress are all part of the intricate and varied pathophysiology of OP.

Dysregulated mitophagy is essential for mitochondrial quality control within human cancers. However, identifying hub genes regulating mitophagy and developing mitophagy-based treatments to combat drug resistance remains challenging. Herein, BayeDEM (Bayesian-optimized Deep learning for identifying Essential genes of Mitophagy) was proposed for such a task.

Article Synopsis
- Bone defect repair is a significant challenge in orthopedics, with copper being essential for bone regeneration, but its exact role and mechanisms in this process require further investigation.
- The study introduces copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-MBGNs), emphasizing their ability to enhance osteoblast mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics, leading to improved calcium phosphate release and biomineralization for faster bone healing.
- By using conditional knockout mice, researchers confirmed that Cu-MBGNs promote bone formation through the autophagy pathway, strengthen mitophagy, and enhance mitochondrial function, pointing to their potential in developing advanced bioactive materials for orthopedic treatments.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease, primarily characterized by chronic symmetric synovial inflammation and erosive bone destruction.Mitochondria, the primary site of cellular energy production, play a crucial role in energy metabolism and possess homeostatic regulation capabilities. Mitochondrial function influences the differentiation, activation, and survival of both immune and non-immune cells involved in RA pathogenesis.

Imbalances in gut microbiota and their metabolites have been implicated in osteoporotic disorders. Trimethylamine-n-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite of L-carnitine produced by gut microorganisms and flavin-containing monooxygenase-3, is known to accelerate tissue metabolism and remodeling; however, its role in bone loss remained unexplored. This study investigates the relationship between gut microbiota dysbiosis, TMAO production, and osteoporosis development.
