FD lesions produce excess phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to hyperphosphaturia in most patients, and hypophosphatemia in those with high FD burden. Skeletal complications are associated with both low-normophosphatemia and frank hypophosphatemia. Burosumab is approved for other forms of FGF23 excess, but there is little evidence to inform use in FD. A phase 2 study investigated the safety and efficacy of burosumab in patients with FD. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants achieving phosphate levels within the mid to upper part of the normal range (age and sex-adjusted Z-score –1 to +2). 12 participants (7 children, 5 adults) received burosumab for 48 weeks. Median phosphate Z-score increased from −2.88 (1.65) to 0.22 (1.37), meeting the target in 100% of participants. Alkaline phosphatase levels were elevated at baseline in 8 participants [median 846 U/L (464)] and declined by 49% at week 48, representing a median decline of −364 (244.5) U/L. PROMIS questionnaires showed trends toward improvements in all domains in children; adult scores showed no identifiable trends. Two children experienced transformational mobility gains, including advancement from full-time wheelchair use to independent ambulation. Lesion biopsies showed no changes in cellularity or composition, and 18F-NaF PET/CT scans showed no changes in tracer uptake, suggesting burosumab did not adversely impact lesional activity. Adverse events were mild, and none resulted in treatment withdrawal. Burosumab treatment in patients with FD was well-tolerated, restored phosphate homeostasis, and reduced alkaline phosphatase levels. Burosumab has the potential to lead to functional improvements and ambulation gains in severely affected patients and is a valuable tool to reduce the impact of FD-related disability.","PeriodicalId":9134,"journal":{"name":"Bone Research","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147751796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The marketed antibody against sclerostin loop2 promoted bone formation but may have caused severe cardiovascular events in clinical use. In our published studies, sclerostin loop3 was found to be involved in inhibitory effects of sclerostin on bone formation, whereas cardiovascular protective effects of sclerostin in mice were independent of loop3. It is necessary to investigate how sclerostin loop3 participates in the inhibitory effects of sclerostin on bone formation to facilitate developing precise strategies that promote bone formation without increasing cardiovascular risk. In this study, sclerostin loop3 was identified to bind to LRP4, thereby facilitating binding of sclerostin to LRP6 in osteoblasts. Blockade of sclerostin loop3-LRP4 interaction by both Lrp4 mutation (Lrp4m) and blocking peptide (LRP4-Pep) diminished the antagonistic effect of sclerostin on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteoblasts in vitro. Consistently, Lrp4m promoted bone formation in Lrp4m mice in vivo. Mechanistically, osteoblast-conditional correction of Lrp4m to wild-type Lrp4 resulted in significantly lower bone formation than Lrp4m mice, indicating that the promotive effects of Lrp4m on bone formation acted in osteoblasts in vivo. Moreover, re-expression of sclerostin dramatically inhibited bone formation in sost-/- mice, whilst the inhibitory effects of sclerostin were significantly weaker in sost-/-.Lrp4m mice. Pharmacologically, LRP4-Pep diminished the inhibitory effects of sclerostin on bone formation in SOSTki mice. Taken together, osteoblastic sclerostin loop3-LRP4 interaction, as an anchor, was required by sclerostin to bind to LRP6, thereby inhibiting bone formation. Translationally, blockade of sclerostin loop3-LRP4 interaction in osteoblasts would provide precise therapeutic strategies to promote bone formation without increasing cardiovascular risk.","PeriodicalId":9134,"journal":{"name":"Bone Research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147739076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While bone remodeling is classically described as being governed by coupling between bone formation and resorption, neural signaling provides an additional hierarchical layer that links organism-level cues to local skeletal stem/progenitor cell niches. This review presents a mechanistic framework for the neuro-bone regulatory network across three hierarchical levels. First, we examine central regulation, in which hypothalamic circuits integrate hormonal and metabolic signals via circumventricular organs to modulate endocrine outputs such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), thereby establishing circadian rhythms and systemic control of bone metabolism. Second, we analyze peripheral neural communication, where sensory inputs triggered by injury or inflammation, along with autonomic efferent signaling, including β-adrenergic pathways, directly influence osteolineage and stromal cells. These signals recalibrate cellular metabolic states, differentiation programs, and regenerative responses, linking pain perception with tissue repair mechanisms. Third, we investigate the bone marrow niche, where distinct subtypes of nerve fibers release a diverse array of neurotransmitters and or neuromodulators that shape the microenvironment of skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) as well as downstream osteoprogenitors, thereby regulating proliferation, lineage commitment, and quiescence. Collectively, these findings delineate an integrated model of neural regulation of bone spanning central, peripheral, and local niche levels, providing a foundation for testable hypotheses in neuro-osteobiology.","PeriodicalId":9134,"journal":{"name":"Bone Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147731485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, we used a diphtheria toxin mediated ablation model targeting these Tnn⁺ progenitors and demonstrated their functional importance, as ablation resulted in hypoplastic phenotypes characterized by impaired fibrocartilage maturation. Furthermore, comparative single-cell profiling between unloaded entheses and normal entheses revealed that tendon unloading significantly diminished both the abundance and chondrogenic potential of Tnn⁺ progenitors.

Ultimately, this promotes skeletal development, bone fracture healing, and the occurrence of osteoarthritis. Mechanistically, USP26 decreases FBP2 undergoing K63-linked ubiquitination, leading to a reduction in the protein level of FBP2. This reduction promotes mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation, thus facilitating chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization and aiding in the process of endochondral ossification. Furthermore, our study found that compression loading induces USP26 to initiate chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization through the phosphorylation of estrogen receptor-α at serine 118.

We found that mtG4 is spatiotemporal-wisely accumulated within Pdgfra+ periosteal mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (PPM) both in healthy and premature aging, which substantially increases cellular senescence and the degenerative alterations of PPM. By utilizing transgenic lineage tracking, PPM organoids formation, mitochondrial transgenic mutation, organoids transplantation, and serial cellular molecular investigations, we reveal that mtG4 in PPM restricts vital mitochondrial genes' transcription to cause mitochondrial dysfunction, which utterly leads to severe mitophagy and cell senescence.

Here, a polyurethane-based adhesive (TNC) was developed, synthesized from trimeric hexamethylene diisocyanate, nano-hydroxyapatite, and type I collagen. The TNC demonstrates strong initial adhesion to both wet and blood-contaminated bone surfaces and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. A distinguishing feature of TNC is its capacity to synchronize degradation with the stages of bone healing. During degradation, TNC forms a mineralized surface layer that releases calcium ions. The calcium ions activate cathepsin K, an enzyme integral to bone remodeling. This calcium-mediated mechanism accelerates TNC degradation by 1.9-fold during the remodeling phase compared to the initial phase. In a rat skull fracture model, TNC supported effective fracture stabilization and achieved favorable bone regeneration at 8 weeks after implantation. These findings demonstrate that TNC combines early mechanical stability with phase-specific degradability to facilitate bone regeneration in a temporally-controlled manner.

RNA editing has emerged as a key process in cancer progression. Herein, we investigated the role of RNA editing enzyme ADAR2 (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA 2) in osteosarcoma. We demonstrated that ADAR2 expression increases during osteoblast differentiation and inversely correlates with the aggressiveness of osteosarcoma cells. Interestingly, the overexpression of ADAR2 in osteosarcoma cell lines reduces their tumoral properties and promotes their differentiation in osteoblast-like cells, as shown by gene expression analysis and mineralization assays. These results were also confirmed by in vivo experiments; indeed, intratibial injection of ADAR2-overexpressing osteosarcoma cells in NSG mice resulted in less aggressive tumors compared to mice injected with pEmpty or pInactive ADAR2 E/A vector-transfected cells. To elucidate the mechanisms by which ADAR2 overexpression induces osteogenic terminal differentiation of osteosarcoma cells, we performed RNA-seq analysis of Saos-2 cells and identified IGFBP7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) as the most highly edited transcript in ADAR2-overexpressing cells. We showed that the editing activity of ADAR2 on IGFBP7 abolishes its proliferative effect on osteosarcoma cells and triggers terminal differentiation.
