Sirtuin 6 ameliorates arthritis through modulating cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein/CCN1/cyclooxygenase 2 pathway in osteoblasts
ConclusionOur study indicated that the benefits of SIRT6 to inflammatory arthritis and bone resorption are at least partially derived from its modulation of CREB/CCN1/COX2 pathway in osteoblasts. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

Deterioration of apatite orientation in the cholecystokinin B receptor gene (Cckbr)-deficient mouse femurs
ConclusionLesions in Cckbr-deficient mice occurred earlier in apatite orientation than in bone mass. Hence, bone apatite orientation may be a promising method for detecting hypochlorhydria-induced osteoporosis caused by PPI treatment and warrants urgent clinical applications.
