This study demonstrates the discrepancy between colony-forming-unit and bacterial genome copy number in osteomyelitis and proposes an improved workflow for bacterial burden quantification in clinical specimens.

This study investigates how antibiotics and autophagy modulation affect intracellular Staphylococcus aureus persistence in osteocytes, finding that antibiotics inhibit autophagy but do not clear bacterial DNA.

This study shows that culturing Saos-2 cells under hypoxic conditions accelerates their differentiation into osteocyte-like cells within 14 days.

This study compares subchondral bone microstructure and cellular features in hip and knee osteoarthritis, finding distinct differences in bone and osteocyte characteristics between the two joints.

This study shows that higher active TGFβ1 levels in human subchondral bone correlate with cartilage loss and poor bone quality in knee OA.

This study examines how vitamin E analogues α-tocopherol and γ-tocotrienol affect human osteocyte gene expression and mineralisation in response to UHMWPE wear particles, finding they reduce RANKL:OPG ratio but may promote osteolysis.

The paper develops two mesenchymal progenitor cell lines that can differentiate into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages and mimic in vivo responses of key regulatory genes.

This study examines the relationship between Alzheimer's disease-related genes and bone structure in patients with femur fractures, finding correlations between gene expression and bone remodeling parameters.

This study shows sclerostin directly increases FGF23 production in osteocytes, contributing to phosphate homeostasis regulation.
