Tibial bone compression promotes recovery after brain injury through osteocyte PIEZO1
a, Schematic illustrating mild TBI (mTBI), DCTAL, and behavioral tests. This figure was created using FigDraw. b, c, Return time (b) and total time (c) in the pole test of the mTBI mice treated with DCTAL (4 N, 300 cycles, 2 Hz, five times per week, 1 week). n = 10 biologically independent mice per group. Return time: SHAM versus mTBI, P = 0.0143; mTBI versus mTBI + LOAD, P = 0.0143. Total time, SHAM versus mTBI, P = 0.0007; mTBI versus mTBI + LOAD, P = 0.0213. X axis: Experimental groups (SHAM, mTBI, mTBI + LOAD). d, Representative images of the swim paths of TBI mice in each group after removal of the platform (memory phase). Groups: SHAM, mTBI and mTBI + LOAD. e, f, Spatial memory was assessed on day 6 of MWM testing during a probe trial (platform was removed). The number of platform crossings (e) and time spent in the target quadrant (f) were quantified in the mTBI mice treated with DCTAL n = 10 biologically independent mice per group. The number of platform crossings: SHAM versus mTBI, P = 0.0004; mTBI versus mTBI + LOAD, P = 0.0021. Time spent in the target quadrant: SHAM...

Politecnico di Milano review finds COVID-19 may reshape bone itself.

Human synchrotron imaging showed larger, rounder osteocyte spaces, while animal models found lasting trabecular loss, pointing to disrupted bone sensing and repair.
