An increasing number of studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in tumor development and progression. However, their involvement in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains largely unknown. Epigenetic regulation is one major mechanism utilized by cancer cells to control lncRNA expression.

ANRIL (CDKN2B antisense RNA 1, CDKN2B-AS1) is involved in the progression of various cancers. However, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear. In this study, we found that ANRIL expression was upregulated in HNSCC and correlated with tumor progression.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the impact of nano-hydroxyapatite/polyetheretherketone (n-HA/PEEK) coatings on sandblasted implants in a peri-implantitis model using beagle dogs.
  • Dogs with SLA + n-HA/PEEK implants showed reduced inflammation markers and improved osseointegration compared to those with standard SLA implants.
  • Results suggest that n-HA/PEEK coatings enhance implant stability and reduce inflammatory responses in dental implants.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effectiveness of Choukroun platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with autologous micro-morselized bone for repairing mandibular defects in rabbits.
  • Thirty-six rabbits were divided into four groups to assess the healing outcomes over 2, 8, and 12 weeks, using various imaging and histological methods.
  • Results showed that the combined group demonstrated the best bone regeneration and maturation, outperforming the other groups in terms of bone mineral density and filling of the defect area.

Background: Tissue engineering techniques combined with gene therapy have been recently used to improve osteogenesis. NEL-like molecule-1 (Nell-1), a novel growth factor, has been reported to have specificity for osteochondral lineage. The study assessed the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (bMSCs) after Nell-1 gene modification and examined its ectopic bone formation ability in a nude mice model with tissue engineering technique.
