Bone remodeling, a continuous process of resorption and formation, is essential for maintaining skeletal integrity and mineral balance. However, in cases of critical bone defects where the natural bone remodeling capacity is insufficient, medical intervention is necessary. Traditional bone grafts have limitations such as donor site morbidity and availability, driving the search for bioengineered scaffold alternatives.

Peptide Backbone Cleavage and Transamidation via Thioester-to-Imide Acyl Transfer.

JACS Au

January 2025

Center for Biopharmaceuticals and Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Jagtvej 160, DK-2100, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Cysteine thioesters are involved in a myriad of central biological transformations due to their unique reactivity. Despite their well-studied properties, we discovered an unexpected transamidation reaction of cysteine thioesters that leads to peptide backbone cleavage. -Acylcysteine-containing peptides were found to spontaneously fragment by cleavage of the amide bond in the -1 position to the acylated cysteine residue at pH 8-10.

Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Harnessing the potential of hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) hydrogel for clinical applications in orthopaedic diseases.

J Orthop Translat

January 2025

Department of Joint and Orthopedics, Orthopedic Center, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University, 253 Gongye Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 51282, China.

Unlabelled: The treatment of orthopaedic diseases, such as fractures and osteoarthritis, remains a significant challenge due to the complex requirements for mechanical strength and tissue repair. Hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) show promise as tissue engineering materials for these conditions. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural component of the extracellular matrix, known for its good compatibility.

Objectives: The composition of department leadership, notably the Department Chair and Program Director, plays a pivotal role in "Match" decision making and further residency training. This study aims to examine the current landscape of subspecialties and other demographic characteristics of the Department Chairs and Program Directors of orthopaedic surgery residency programs across the United States.

Methods: A list of Department Chairs and Program Directors of all 201 ACGME orthopaedic surgery residency programs was generated from the Orthopaedic Residency Information Network (ORIN) website.
