Accelerated osteogenesis of bone graft by optimizing the bone microenvironment formed by electrical signals dependent on driving micro vibration stimulation.

The strategy of coupling the micro-vibration mechanical field with Ca/P ceramics to optimize the osteogenic microenvironment and enhance the functional activity of the cells can significantly improve the bone regeneration of the graft. However, the regulation mode and mechanism of this coupling strategy are not fully understood at present. This study investigated the influence of different waveforms of the electrical signals driving Microvibration Stimulation (MVS) on this coupling effect.

Identification of a Specific Phage as Growth Factor Alternative Promoting the Recruitment and Differentiation of MSCs in Bone Tissue Regeneration.

Inefficient use and loss of exogenously implanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are major concerns in MSCs-based bone tissue engineering. It is a promising approach to overcome the above issues by recruiting and regulation of endogenous MSCs. However, there are few substances that can recruit MSCs effectively and specifically to the site of bone injury.
