Cysteamine treatment only delays the symptoms, presents undesirable side effects and the patients depend on it for life. Thus, it is of paramount importance to find new complementary therapeutic targets for the disease, as well as to understand, at the molecular level, both the beneficial and detrimental effects of cysteamine.

Cystinotic cells present significant differences in proteins related to extracellular matrix structure and detoxification. Only a subset of those proteins is reversed by cysteamine in a dose-dependent manner, partially providing an explanation for its therapeutic benefits.

These diseases are characterized by insidious progression, which seriously threatens patients’ health and quality of life. Early diagnosis and prevention in high-risk populations can effectively prevent the deterioration of these patients. Mitochondria are essential organelles for maintaining the physiological activity of the skeletal system. Mitochondrial functions include contributing to the energy supply, modulating the Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration, maintaining redox balance and resisting the inflammatory response. They participate in the regulation of cellular behaviors and the responses of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes and myocytes to external stimuli. In this review, we describe the pathogenesis of skeletal system diseases, focusing on mitochondrial function. In addition to osteosarcoma, a characteristic of which is active mitochondrial metabolism, mitochondrial damage occurs during the development of other diseases. Impairment of mitochondria leads to an imbalance in osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis in osteoporosis, cartilage degeneration and inflammatory infiltration in arthritis, and muscle atrophy and excitation<img>contraction coupling blockade in sarcopenia. Overactive mitochondrial metabolism promotes the proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cells. The copy number of mitochondrial DNA and mitochondria-derived peptides can be potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of these disorders. High-risk factor detection combined with mitochondrial component detection contributes to the early detection of these diseases.

The data showed that extending the bioavailability of 7α,25OHC is sufficient to accelerate remyelination <em>in vivo</em>. Moreover, the analogue, in contrast to the endogenous ligand, upregulated brain expression of <em>Ebi2</em> and the synthesis of 15 lipids in the mouse corpus callosum. Mechanistically, the increased concentration of oxysterol likely disrupted its gradient in demyelinated areas of the brain, leading to the dispersion of infiltrating EBI2-expressing immune cells rather than their accumulation in demyelinated regions. Remarkably, the analogue CF<sub>3</sub>-7α,25OHC markedly decreased the lymphocyte and monocyte counts mimicking the key mechanism of action of some of the most effective disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, the <em>Cd4+</em> transcripts in the cerebellum and CD4+ cell number in the corpus callosum were reduced compared to vehicle-treated mice.
