TLDR
Altered functional TMJ loading in mice for 2-6 weeks leads to a loss of the condylar cartilage and a transient loss in the density of the mandibular condylars subchondral bone.

Enthesis fibrocartilage cells originate from a population of Hedgehog-responsive cells modulated by the loading environment.

TL;DR: The formation of a functional mineralized tendon enthesis, which links tendons to bones, involves Hedgehog-responsive cells and is modulated by muscle loading, demonstrate that Hh signaling within developing enthesis fibrocartilage cells is required for enthesis formation.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis: cone beam computed tomography findings, clinical features, and correlations.

TL;DR: Condylar erosion, flattening, osteophytes, pain, joint sounds, reduced jaw movements, and worsened mastication were common findings in TMJ-OA in the present study.

Reducing dietary loading decreases mouse temporomandibular joint degradation induced by anterior crossbite prosthesis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a lower level of functional loading by providing small-size diet could reduce TMJ degradation induced by the biomechanical stimulation from abnormal occlusion.

Condylar volume and condylar area in class I, class II and class III young adult subjects

TL;DR: Skeletal class appeared to be associated to the mandibular condylar volume and to theMandibular Condylar area in the Caucasian orthodontic population.

Indian Hedgehog Roles in Post-natal TMJ Development and Organization

TL;DR: Analysis of the data shows, for the first time, that continuous Ihh action is required for completion of post-natal TMJ growth and organization and that lubricin overexpression in mutants may represent a compensatory response to sustain TMJ movement and function.

RANKL–RANK signaling in osteoclastogenesis and bone disease

TL;DR: Designing novel drugs that target RANKL-RANK and their signaling pathways in osteoclasts could potentially revolutionize the treatment of many diseases associated with bone loss such as arthritis, tooth loss, cancer metastases or osteoporosis.

Epidemiology of Temporomandibular Disorders: Implications for the Investigation of Etiologic Factors

TL;DR: The available data highlight the need for further research on etiologic factors associated with temporomandibular pain and with specific diagnostic subtypes of temporom andibular disorders, which appear to be more prevalent in women than in men.

PTHrP and skeletal development.

TL;DR: Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) participates in the regulation of endochondral bone development and actions to delay chondrocyte differentiation are mediated by the phosphorylation of the transcription factor, SOX9, and by suppression of synthesis of mRNA encoding the transcription factors, Runx2.

Indian hedgehog stimulates periarticular chondrocyte differentiation to regulate growth plate length independently of PTHrP

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Indian hedgehog acts on periarticular chondrocytes to stimulate their differentiation, thereby regulating the columnar cell mass independently of PTHrP.

Cellular stages in cartilage formation as revealed by morphometry, radioautography and type II collagen immunostaining of the mandibular condyle from weanling rats.

TL;DR: The role played by cell addition, cell enlargement, and matrix deposition in the endochondral growth of the condyle was assessed in weanling rats by four approaches making use of the light microscope: morphometry, 3H-thymidine radioautographic,3H-proline radioautography, and immunostaining for the cartilage-specific type II collagen.
