The Regulatory Network of CREB3L1 and Its Roles in Physiological and Pathological Conditions
Int J Med Sci. 2024 Jan 1;21(1):123-136. doi: 10.7150/ijms.90189. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTCREB3 subfamily belongs to the bZIP transcription factor family and comprises five members. Normally they are located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and proteolytically activated through RIP (regulated intramembrane proteolysis) on Golgi apparatus to liberate the N-terminus to serve as transcription factors. CREB3L1 acting as one of them transcriptionally regulates the expressions of target genes and exhibits distinct functions from the other members of CREB3 family in eukaryotes. Physiologically, CREB3L1 involves in the...

SA42 Project SATURN – A Real-World Evidence and Data Collaboration With Existing European Datasets in Osteogenesis Imperfecta to Support Future Therapies
Regulatory marketing authorisation is not enough to ensure patient access to new medicinal products. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies may require data on Effectiveness, Relative Effectiveness, and Cost-Effectiveness. Healthcare systems may require data on Clinical Utility, Savings, and Budget Impact. Furthermore, the exact requirements of these bodies vary country by country, and sometimes even region to region, resulting in a patchwork of different data requirements to achieve effective patient access reimbursement.

PCR250 Management of Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Self-Reported Funding Sources for Healthcare, Consumables and Services Across the EU5 and Nordics
The IMPACT Survey explored self-reported experiences of the clinical, humanistic, and economic impact of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare hereditary connective tissue disorder associated with low bone mass, bone fragility, and variable secondary features. Here we present findings on funding sources relating to healthcare, OI consumables and services in adults with OI across the EU5 and Nordic countries. (Source: Value in Health)

Access to care among patients with osteogenesis imperfecta during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: While most study participants experienced delays in care, they did not report an increase in symptoms associated with OI. They also frequently utilized telehealth as a tool to see their providers. Future research should focus on the impact of changes in telehealth legislation on patients' ability to access care. As methods for care delivery evolve, the needs of people with OI and other rare diseases should be considered and prioritized.PMID:38015270 | DOI:10.1007/s11657-023-01355-2 (Source: Pain Physician)

Assessing type I collagen expression and quality in cellular models of osteogenesis imperfecta
Clin Genet. 2023 Nov 28. doi: 10.1111/cge.14463. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders of bone formation characterized by soft and shorter brittle bones in affected individuals. OI is generally considered a collagenopathy resulting from abnormal expression of type I collagen. As assay system to detect the cellular level and quality of type I collagen would help in rapid and correct detection of OI from the diagnostic perspectives. Here, we report an immunofluorescence assay for detection of type I collagen in fibroblast models of OI and represented them into two broad ca...

Protocol of a randomised trial of teriparatide followed by zoledronic acid to reduce fracture risk in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta
Introduction Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disease associated with multiple fractures throughout life. It is often treated with osteoporosis medications but their effectiveness at preventing fractures is unknown. The Treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta with Parathyroid Hormone and Zoledronic Acid trial will determine if therapy with teriparatide (TPTD) followed by zoledronic acid (ZA) can reduce the risk of clinical fractures in OI. Methods and analysis Individuals aged ≥18 years with a clinical diagnosis of OI are eligible to take part. At baseline, participants will undergo a spine X-ray, and have b...
