Extragonadal Effects of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone on Osteoporosis and Cardiovascular Disease in Women during Menopausal Transition.

TL;DR: This work reviews the key actions through which FSH contributes to the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease in women as they transition through menopause and suggests new opportunities for improving health-span for postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cartilage development and degeneration: a Wnt Wnt situation

TL;DR: The role of the Wnt signaling pathway in cartilage degeneration and its potential to act as a target for therapy in osteoarthritis is detailed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased bone mass, altered trabecular architecture and modified growth plate organization in the growing skeleton of SOCS2 deficient mice.

TL;DR: The data indicate that physiological levels of SOCS2 negatively regulate bone formation and endochondral growth and suggest that pro‐inflammatory cytokines mediate their inhibitory effects on longitudinal bone growth through a mechanism that is independent of SOCs2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimisation of the differing conditions required for bone formation in vitro by primary osteoblasts from mice and rats.

TL;DR: The present study established a reliable technique for inducing mouse osteoblasts to form bone in vitro and a more effective method for culturing bone-forming rat osteobasts and identified key differences in optimal culture conditions between mouse and rat osteoblast.
Journal ArticleDOI

ENPP1 in the Regulation of Mineralization and Beyond.

TL;DR: A fuller understanding of the pathways through which ENPP1 acts may help to develop novel therapeutic strategies for commonly diagnosed morbidities, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and osteoarthritis.
