Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is reported to stimulate repair of fracture and bony defects in in vivo animal studies. However, most studies performed in vitro demonstrate inhibitory effect of bFGF on cartilage and bone differentiation. To understand the discrepancy observed in in vivo and in vitro studies, we evaluated the effect of bFGF on chondro-osteogenesis initiated by bone matrix powder (MP). MP was implanted in the murine hamstring muscles with or without administration of bFGF. Injection of 1 microg of bFGF markedly reduced the size of heterotopic bone induced by MP, as detected by X-ray. Injection of 10 microg of bFGF completely inhibited ossification and only fibrous tissues were observed at the site of MP implantation. The expressions of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin mRNAs, markers for bone differentiation, were completely suppressed by 10 microg of bFGF. These results demonstrate the inhibitory effect of bFGF on endochondral ossification in vivo, implicating a precaution for its use in musculo-skeletal disorders.

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) form well-formed embryoid bodies (EBs) in 3D culture. These EBs are formed in culture media lacking leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in mouse and human PSCs, respectively. EBs are excellent technical tools for understanding developmental biology and inducing controlled differentiation in succeeding experimental steps.

In-stent restenosis can be caused by the activation, proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which affects long-term efficacy of interventional therapy. Copper (Cu) has been proved to accelerate the endothelialization and reduce thrombosis formation, but little is known about its inhibition effect on the excessive proliferation of VSMCs. In this study, 316L-Cu stainless steel and L605-Cu cobalt-based alloy with varying Cu content were fabricated and their effects on surface property, blood compatibility and VSMCs were studied and .

The current wound healing process faces numerous challenges such as bacterial infection, inflammation and oxidative stress. However, wound dressings used to promote wound healing, are not well suited to meet the clinical needs. Hyaluronic acid (HA) not only has excellent water absorption and good biocompatibility but facilitates cell function and tissue regeneration.

There is a huge unmet need for new treatment modalities for ocular surface inflammatory disorders (OSIDs) such as dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction. Mesenchymal stem cell therapies may hold the answer due to their potent immunomodulatory properties, low immunogenicity, and ability to modulate both the innate and adaptive immune response. MSC-like cells that can be isolated from the corneal stroma (C-MSCs) offer a potential new treatment strategy; however, an optimized culture medium needs to be developed to produce the ideal phenotype for use in a cell therapy to treat OSIDs.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in grapes and beneficial for human health. Resveratrol regulates basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced osteoprotegerin synthesis through Akt pathway in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In this study, we investigated resveratrol effects on bFGF-induced macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) synthesis in MC3T3-E1 cells.
