The wound healing process is a highly orchestrated process, which includes inflammation, re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, matrix formation and re-modeling. In this paper, we attempt to determine if bio-active ceramic resource powder particles had an effect on cutaneous wound healing. Furthermore, we investigated its related mechanism and the expression of Smads of cutaneous wound healing, which can be accelerated by bio-active ceramic ointment. Topically applied lesions of 5%, 10% and 15% bio-active ceramic ointment (AO) showed accelerated wound closure, re-epithelialization, and the related immediate down stream of TGF-beta (p-Smad2/3 and Smad3) was suppressed. In particular, 10% and 15% AO lesions became closed faster at Days 3 and 4 of post-wound and p-Smad2/3 was also suppressed. All AO lesions showed accelerated mild wound closure at Day 6, but there were no significant difference. Several papers reported that Smad3 may mediate the signaling pathways that is inhibitory to wound healing, as the deletion of Smad3 leads to enhanced re-epithelialization and contraction of the wound area. This study showed that topical, bio-active ceramic ointment applications accelerated wound closure, re-epithelialization and the suppression of Smad proteins (p-Smad2/3, Smad3). The data revealed that the suppression of Smad3, which was induced by bio-active ceramic resources powder particles affected re-epithelialization and cutaneous wound closure. At the end of this paper, we concluded that bio-active ceramic resources affect cutaneous wound healing by accelerating the re-epithelialization of keratinocytes and that is mediated by the suppression of related protein, Smad3.

Electrochemical reduction of CO (CO RR) into value-added products is a promising strategy to reduce energy consumption and solve environmental issues. Formic acid/formate is one of the high-value, easy-to-collect, and economically viable products. Herein, the reconstructed Bi O CO nanosheets (BOC NSs) are synthesized by an in situ electrochemical anion exchange strategy from Bi O SO as a pre-catalyst.

Introduction: Engineered bone graft substitutes are a promising alternative and supplement to autologous bone grafts as treatments for bone healing impairment. Advances in human medicine extend an invitation to pursue these biomimetic strategies in animal patients, substantiated by the theory that specialized scaffolds, multipotent cells, and biological cues may be combined into a bioactive implant intended for the enhancement of tissue regeneration.

Methods: This proof-of-concept study was designed to evaluate and validate the feasibility of beta-tricalcium phosphate foam scaffolds seeded with canine mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue.

The use of resorbable magnesium alloys in the design of implants represents a new direction in the healthcare domain. Two main research avenues are currently explored for developing or improving metallic biomaterials: (i) increase of their corrosion resistance by designed compositional and structural modifications, and (ii) functionalization of their surfaces by coating with ceramic or polymeric layers. The main objective of this work was to comparatively assess bio-functional coatings (i.

The aim of this work was to compare the efficacy of gelatin-chitosan based bone scaffolds after incorporation of three different bioactive nanoparticles such as hydroxyapatite (HAp), β‑tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and 58s bio active glass by evaluating its physicochemical, mechanical and osteogenic properties. Gelatin-chitosan based scaffolds made of gelatin-chitosan (GC) and GC composites containing 30 wt% HAp, β-TCP and 58s bioactive glass nanoparticles were fabricated using freeze drying technique. The porosity and compressive strength of all the prepared scaffolds were evaluated.
