With the population aging, the prevalence of osteoporosis is rapidly increasing, which has become serious public health problem. At present, there is a severe shortage of effective anti-osteoporotic drugs in China, making it difficult to control the growing trend of osteoporosis. The key pathological mechanism of osteoporosis is bone homeostasis imbalance. It is necessary to continuously study the bone cell biology, important pathway regulating bone homeostasis, and its regulatory network constituted by bone-muscle-vessel-immune system-nerve-gut microbiota, in order to identify key targets for new drug, and develop more novel effective drugs to increase bone mineral density, improve bone strength, reduce fracture risk and protect bone health.

Bone homeostasis encompasses two interrelated aspects: bone remodeling and cartilage metabolism. Disruption of bone homeostasis can lead to the development of metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. The maintenance of bone homeostasis is a complex process that does not solely rely on the functions of the bone tissue itself.

Objective: Osteoimmunology is an emerging field that explores the interplay between bone and the immune system. The immune system plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and significantly affects bone homeostasis. Artesunate, a first-line treatment for malaria, is known for its low toxicity and multifunctional properties.

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is characterized by phenotypic alterations, apoptosis, and the breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the superficial articular cartilage cells. The inflammatory response activates the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ERS) signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in the pathophysiology and progression of KOA. Chondrocytes stimulated by thapsigargin(TG)exhibit heightened ERS and significantly increase the expression of ERS-associated proteins.

The regulation of the charged microenvironment around implants is an effective way to promote osseointegration. Although homeostasis of the charged microenvironment plays an integral role in tissues, current research is externally invasive and unsuitable for clinical applications. In this study, functional materials with different surface potential differences are prepared by changing the spatial layout of Ta and Ag on the surface of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy (TC4).
