Incorporating autologous patient-derived products has become imperative to enhance the continually improving outcomes in bone tissue engineering. With this objective in mind, this study aimed to evaluate the osteogenic potential of 3D-printed allograft-alginate-gelatin scaffolds coated with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). The primary goal was to develop a tissue-engineered construct capable of facilitating efficient bone regeneration through the utilization of biomaterials with advantageous properties and patient-derived products.

The selection of appropriate scaffold materials remains a critical challenge in this field. In this study, we aimed to address this challenge by evaluating and comparing the performance of hydrogel scaffolds reinforced with -tricalcium phosphate (-TCP), allograft, and a combination of allograft and strontium hydroxyapatite (SrHA).

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 200 subjects, categorized into four groups of 50 each, consisting of subjects with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and emmetropia, the latter being the control group. The mean age of the participants was 23.
This study aimed to analyze the impact of strontium ranelate (Str), photobiomodulation (PBM), or their combination of the proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and cementogenic differentiation of buccal fat pad-derived stem cells. BFPdSCs were exposed to one of the following interventions: (1) PBM (660 nm), (2) PBM (660 nm) + Str, (3) PBM (880 nm), (4) PBM (880 nm) + Str, (5) Str. All study groups had significantly higher osteogenic differentiation than the control group (p < 0.
