Collagen content and cross-links scale with passive stiffness in dystrophic mouse muscles, but are not altered with administration of collagen cross-linking inhibitor beta-aminopropionitrile

This study investigates the effect of BAPN on collagen cross-linking and passive stiffness in dystrophic mdx mice, finding no reduction in cross-linking but a positive correlation between cross-linking and stiffness.

The microbiome mediates subchondral bone loss and metabolomic changes after acute joint trauma

This study compares the early joint injury responses in germ-free and conventional mice, finding that germ-free mice show less bone loss and distinct metabolic profiles linked to immune regulation.

Systemic Bone Loss Following Myocardial Infarction in Mice is Mitigated by Treatment with a β3 Adrenergic Receptor Antagonist

This study shows that myocardial infarction causes systemic bone loss in mice, which is partially prevented by β3-adrenergic receptor antagonist treatment.

Age dependence of systemic bone loss and recovery following femur fracture in mice

This study shows that femur fracture causes systemic bone loss in both young and middle-aged mice, with full recovery in young but not middle-aged mice.
