Mineralization kinetics during embryonic avian bone growth: a three-dimensional multiscale and cryogenic imaging approach

The paper quantifies calcium transport during avian embryonic bone growth using 3D imaging, revealing that intracellular transport speeds remain constant despite increased mineral deposition rates.

TNAP and PHOSPHO1 function synergistically to afford critical control over the mineralisation of the postnatal murine skeleton

This study investigates the synergistic roles of TNAP and PHOSPHO1 in postnatal bone mineralisation using a novel murine knockout model, revealing their critical function in biomineralisation and skeletal development.

Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase promotes neuronal cell proliferation and differentiation: metabolomic reveals glutathione and taurine as molecular correlates

The paper investigates the role of TNAP in neuronal proliferation and differentiation using a cell culture model and metabolomics, finding that TNAP inhibition affects proliferation and differentiation through mechanisms beyond vitamin B6 metabolism.

Inorganic pyrophosphate disrupts amorphous hydrated bone mineral interfaces in hypophosphatasia

This study shows that inorganic pyrophosphate disrupts amorphous bone mineral interfaces in hypophosphatasia, leading to brittle fractures and altered mineral structure.

Ankylosis homologue (ANKH) controls extracellular citrate and pyrophosphate homeostasis and affects bone mechanical performance

This study identifies ANKH's role in extracellular citrate and pyrophosphate homeostasis and its impact on bone mechanical properties.
