Abstract
Bone homeostasis relies on the coordinated activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts that balances bone formation and resorption, and of osteocytes for biomechanical sensing and hormone secretion. A key factor in the function of these cells is proteostasis, where the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oversees protein synthesis, quality control, folding, and the secretion of proteins such as collagen type I. Emerging research links ER proteostasis defects to skeletal disorders caused by impaired bone development and mass. We explore the mechanisms of ER proteostasis, including the unfolded protein response (UPR), and discuss how genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors disrupt these pathways and contribute to bone pathology. We also highlight the need for further mechanistic insights which could pave the way for novel therapies that target ER-Golgi traffic and inhibit ER stress in bone diseases.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
