Films made of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) consisting of 5%, 12% and 20% hydroxyhexanoate (HHx), respectively, were evaluated for biomedical application in comparison with poly (L-Lactide) (PLA). With the increase of HHx content in PHBHHx, the polymer surface properties changed accordingly. P(HB-co-20%-HHx) had the smoothest surface while PHB surface was most hydrophilic among the evaluated PHB and all the PHBHHx. All PHBHHx also showed strong protein affinity and biocompatibility. It was found that fibroblast and osteoblast had different responses to these polymers: fibroblast cells favored P(HB-co-20%-HHx), yet osteoblast cells preferred P(HB-co-12%-HHx). PHB and all PHBHHx appeared to have better biocompatibility for fibroblast and osteoblast compared with PLA. Polymers possessing different surface properties may help meet different cellular requirements. Combined with their good mechanical properties for elongation and adjustable biocompatibility, PHBHHx may meet the needs of growth requirements of different tissues and cells.

Wood-based nanocellulose is emerging as a promising nanomaterial in the field of tissue engineering due to its unique properties and versatile applications. Previously, we used TEMPO-mediated oxidation (TO) and carboxymethylation (CM) as chemical pretreatments prior to mechanical fibrillation of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) to produce scaffolds with different surface chemistries. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of these chemical pretreatments on serum protein adsorption on 2D and 3D configurations of TO-CNF and CM-CNF and then to investigate their effects on cell adhesion, spreading, inflammatory mediator production , and the development of foreign body reaction (FBR) .

Our previous studies indicate that NFI-C is essential for tooth root development and endochondral ossification. However, its exact role in calvarial intramembranous bone formation remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that the disruption of the gene leads to defects in intramembranous bone formation, characterized by decreased osteogenic proliferative activity and reduced osteoblast differentiation during postnatal osteogenesis.

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and ameloblastoma (AM) are common jaw lesions with high bone-destructive potential and recurrence rates. Recent advancements in technology led to significant progress in understanding these conditions. Single-cell and spatial omics have improved insights into the tumor microenvironment and cellular heterogeneity in OKC and AM.

Background: The aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) impairs bone tissue regeneration, contributing to skeletal disorders. LncRNA NEAT1 is considered as a proliferative inhibitory role during cellular senescence, but the relevant mechanisms remain insufficient. This study aims to elucidate how NEAT1 regulates mitotic proteins during BMSCs aging.
