Using mice expressing a Bcl-2 mutant protein to suppress multiple central tolerance pathways, it is shown that central tolerance is crucial for preventing autoimmunity.
Depleting senescent osteoclasts using the senolytic drug Navitoclax (ABT263) can reduce sensory innervation in the endplate and attenuate low back pain, thus representing a potent therapy for treating spinal pain.

Replicating experimental evolution from ancestral proteins shows that historical contingency steadily overwhelms chance and necessity as the primary cause of evolutionary variation in molecular sequences on long phylogenetic timescales.
Alterations of DNA methylation were associated with articular cartilage degeneration in hemophilic arthropathy, and aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote blood-induced chondrocyte apoptosis by regulating AKT activation.
Airborne PM2.5 exposure triggers oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis in placental trophoblast cells via the KLF9/CYP1A1 transcriptional axis, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
