About this Research Topic
Our goal is to bring together experts in the field of musculoskeletal biology, cell death regulation, and pathogenesis of musculoskeletal diseases to explore the role and mechanism of regulated cell death in musculoskeletal development, homeostasis, and diseases. By providing a comprehensive understanding of these complex processes, we aim to advance our understanding of musculoskeletal health and disease pathogenesis, and to identify new therapeutic targets and strategies for treating musculoskeletal diseases. It is worth noting that we welcome submissions that include but are not limited to Original Basic Research, Review and Bioinformatics Analysis.
We are interested in Original Basic Research, Review, Bioinformatics Analysis and et al., focusing on either of the following research topics:
1. Regulated cell death in the development of bone, cartilage and intervertebral disc;
2. Regulated cell death in osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS);
3. Regulated cell death in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and spinal cord injury (SCI);
4. Regulated cell death in bone tumors, scoliosis, and osteoporosis (OP);
5. Novel forms of regulated cell death in musculoskeletal health and diseases.
