Effect of photobiomodulation therapy on the morphology, intracellular calcium concentration, free radical generation, apoptosis and necrosis of human mesenchymal stem cells-an in vitro study.

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of multiwave locked system (MLS M1) emitting synchronized laser radiation at 2 wavelength simultaneous (λ = 808 nm, λ = 905 nm) on the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Human MSCs were exposed to MLS M1 system laser radiation with the power density 195-318 mW/cm and doses of energy 3-20 J, in continuous wave emission (CW) or pulsed emission (PE). After irradiation exposure in doses of energy 3 J, 10 J (CW, ƒ = 1000 Hz), and 20 J (ƒ = 2000 Hz), increased proliferation of MSCs was observed.

Calcination and ion substitution improve physicochemical and biological properties of nanohydroxyapatite for bone tissue engineering applications.

Nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) is widely used in bone regeneration, but there is a need to enhance its properties to provide stimuli for cell commitment and osteoconduction. This study examines the effect of calcination at 1200 °C on the physicochemical and biological properties of nanoHAP doped with magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), and zinc (Zn). A synergistic effect of dual modification on nanoHAP biological properties was investigated.

Bioactive Materials for Bone Regeneration: Biomolecules and Delivery Systems.

Novel tissue regeneration strategies are constantly being developed worldwide. Research on bone regeneration is noteworthy, as many promising new approaches have been documented with novel strategies currently under investigation. Innovative biomaterials that allow the coordinated and well-controlled repair of bone fractures and bone loss are being designed to reduce the need for autologous or allogeneic bone grafts eventually.

Dual Modification of Porous Ca-P/PLA Composites with APTES and Alendronate Improves Their Mechanical Strength and Cytobiocompatibility towards Human Osteoblasts.

Synthetic implants are used to treat large bone defects that are often unable to regenerate, for example those caused by osteoporosis. It is necessary that the materials used to manufacture them are biocompatible and resorbable. Polymer-ceramic composites, such as those based on poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and calcium phosphate ceramics (Ca-P), are often used for these purposes.
