Background: Multilayered osteochondral scaffolds are becoming increasingly utilized for the repair of knee joint surface lesions (KJSLs). However, the literature on predictive factors is rather limited.
Purpose: To (1) evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of a combined single-step approach using a biomimetic collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffold (CHAS) and filtered bone marrow aspirate (fBMA) for the treatment of KJSLs and (2) identify significant predictors of the treatment outcomes.

Rodent hindlimb unloading (HU) model was developed to elucidate responses/mechanisms of adverse consequences of space weightlessness. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) were isolated from rat femur and tibia bone marrows and examined ex vivo after 2 weeks of HU and subsequent 2 weeks of restoration of load (HU + RL). In both bones, decrease of fibroblast colony forming units (CFU-f) after HU with restoration after HU + RL detected.

Background: Osteochondral injury is a very common orthopaedic pathology, mainly affecting young, active population, with limited current treatment options. Herein we are presenting cellular and early clinical data of a patient series treated for chronic osteochondral lesions in the knee with a filter-based intra-operative bone marrow aspirate (BMA) separation device.
Methods: Fifteen patients with chronic knee osteochondral lesions (60% females, 19-59 years) were included in this prospective case series.

To investigate whether p16 deletion can prevent osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency, we first confirmed that p16 protein expression levels were significantly up-regulated in bony tissue of ovariectomized (OVX) wild-type mice. Eight-week-old wild-type and p16 mice were then sham-operated or bilateral OVX. After 12 weeks, the bone phenotypes of all models were analyzed by radiography, micro-computed tomography, histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular biology.

The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system has been implicated in the regulation of bone homeostasis and osteoblast activity, but the mechanism behind this is unclear. Here we show that Y1 receptor signaling is directly involved in the differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells isolated from bone tissue, as well as the activity of mature osteoblasts. Importantly, the mRNA levels of two key osteogenic transcription factors, runx2 and osterix, as well as the adipogenic transcription factor PPAR-gamma, were increased in long bones of Y1(-/-) mice compared with wild-type mice.
