Elevated surface La promotes hyperfusion and contributes to impaired resorption in osteopetrosis.

Jarred M. Whitlock, Evgenia Leikina, Hongyin Wang, Wendy Zhang, Griffin Katz, Nina Bacher Reuven, Ari Elson, Benjamin Geiger, Leonid Chernomordik

This study identifies elevated surface La as a cause of hyperfusion and impaired resorption in osteopetrosis and shows that inhibiting La can restore osteoclast function.

PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE EXPOSURE AND EXTRACELLULAR ANNEXIN A5 WEAKEN THE ACTIN CORTEX IN OSTEOCLAST FUSION

Evgenia Leikina, Andrey Kimovich Tsaturyan, Kamran Melikov, Jarred M. Whitlock, Jared Cunanan, Morgan Roegner, Griffin Katz, Michael M. Kozlov, Leonid Chernomordik

The paper investigates how phosphatidylserine exposure and Annexin A5 binding weaken the actin cortex during osteoclast fusion, revealing a bidirectional signaling pathway involving Ca2+ and lipid redistribution.
