Bone marrow lesions: plugging the holes in our knowledge using animal models (2023)
Journal Article
Hansen, R., Chenu, C., Sofat, N., & Pitsillides, A. (2023). Bone marrow lesions: plugging the holes in our knowledge using animal models. Nature Reviews Rheumatology, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41584-023-00971-z

Bone marrow lesions (BMLs), which are early signs of osteoarthritis (OA) that are associated with the presence, onset and severity of pain, represent an emerging imaging biomarker and clinical target. Little is known, however, regarding their early s... Read More about Bone marrow lesions: plugging the holes in our knowledge using animal models.

Resolving trabecular metaphyseal bone profiles downstream of the growth plate adds value to bone histomorphometry in mouse models (2023)
Journal Article
Salmon, P., Monzem, S., Javaheri, B., Oste, L., Kerckhofs, G., & Pitsillides, A. (2023). Resolving trabecular metaphyseal bone profiles downstream of the growth plate adds value to bone histomorphometry in mouse models. Frontiers in Endocrinology, 14, https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2023.1158099

Introduction: Histomorphometry of rodent metaphyseal trabecular bone, by histology or microCT, is generally restricted to the mature secondary spongiosa, excluding the primary spongiosa nearest the growth plate by imposing an `offset'. This analyses... Read More about Resolving trabecular metaphyseal bone profiles downstream of the growth plate adds value to bone histomorphometry in mouse models.

Regional modular responses in different bone compartments to the anabolic effect of PTH (1-34) and axial loading in mice (2023)
Journal Article
Monzem, S., Valkani, D., Evans, L., Chang, Y., & Pitsillides, A. (2023). Regional modular responses in different bone compartments to the anabolic effect of PTH (1-34) and axial loading in mice. BONE, 170, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2023.116720

Beneficial effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone mass and architecture are described to either simply add to, or to synergise with those of mechanical loading. We evaluate whether interaction with in vivo loading is reinforced by...
