About this Research Topic
Bone and cartilage disorders, including osteoarthritis and degenerative skeletal diseases, pose significant challenges to global healthcare systems due to their prevalence and impact on quality of life. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions is crucial for the development of effective clinical therapies. Recent advancements in the fields of molecular biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine have provided new insights into the pathogenesis of these diseases and have opened up exciting avenues for therapeutic intervention. This special issue aims to compile the latest research on bone, cartilage, and degenerative skeletal diseases, focusing on elucidating molecular mechanisms and exploring novel clinical therapies.
The goal of this Research Topic is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and clinicians working in the fields of bone, cartilage, and degenerative skeletal diseases. We aim to address key challenges in understanding the molecular mechanisms driving these disorders and to explore innovative approaches for their diagnosis and treatment. By bringing together cutting-edge research and recent advances in the field, we aspire to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art and to identify promising directions for future investigation and clinical translation.
This Research Topic welcomes original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that contribute to our understanding of bone, cartilage, and degenerative skeletal diseases. Specific themes of interest include but are not limited to:
Molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage repair and regeneration
Pathophysiology and therapeutic targets in osteoarthritis
Novel insights into degenerative skeletal diseases
Advances in the diagnosis and management of metabolic bone diseases
Applications of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in skeletal tissue repair
We encourage authors to submit manuscripts that present novel findings, innovative methodologies, and critical evaluations of existing research. Submissions should adhere to the journal's guidelines for formatting and ethical conduct.
