Biomechanical properties of the bone-titanium interface have rarely been studied, due to the technical limitations involved; whether biological bonding mechanisms exist has not been determined. We hypothesized that a selected set of proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan complexes plays a role in establishing the adhesion between bone and titanium, and utilized the rat bone-marrow-derived osteoblastic culture model to gain an insight into the hypothesis. Gene expression of selected proteoglycan core proteins was up-regulated in the osteoblasts cultured on titanium compared with those on polystyrene. Various sulfated glycosaminoglycans were immunochemically localized at mineralized tissue-titanium interfaces. The administration of various glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes into the cultures resulted in a 25-45% reduction of the tissue-titanium interfacial strength, measured by a nanoscratch test; while the hardness and elastic modulus of the mineralized tissue, evaluated by nano-indentation, were not altered. In conclusion, glycosaminoglycan degradation resulted in a decreased interfacial strength between cultured mineralized tissue and titanium, but did not alter the intrinsic strength of the mineralized tissue, suggesting a role for proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan complexes in the establishment of tissue-titanium adhesion.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimum frequency of oscillatory fluid flow (OFF) for increasing osteogenesis in human dental pulp cells (DPCs) in an incubating rocking shaker. DPCs from 3 donors were cultured in an osteogenic induction medium (OIM) and mechanical stimulation was applied using an incubating rocking shaker at frequencies of 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, and 40 round per minute (RPM) for 1 h/day, 5 days/week. Cell proliferation was measured using total protein quantification, and osteogenic activity was measured by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium deposition, and collagen production on days 7, 14, and 21 of culture.

Bone remodeling, a continuous process of resorption and formation, is essential for maintaining skeletal integrity and mineral balance. However, in cases of critical bone defects where the natural bone remodeling capacity is insufficient, medical intervention is necessary. Traditional bone grafts have limitations such as donor site morbidity and availability, driving the search for bioengineered scaffold alternatives.

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid produced by mammals, offering various health benefits due to its composition of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Beyond traditional nutritional aspects, recent research has focused on extracellular vesicles (EVs) found in milk and their potential health benefits, especially for gastrointestinal (GI) health. Milk-derived EVs have been shown to influence gut microbiota, promote gut barrier integrity, support tissue repair and regeneration, modulate immune responses, and potentially aid in managing conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition mainly caused by the interaction between the host immune system and periodontal tissue pathogens, and may lead to consequences, such as alveolar bone defects and tooth loss. Incomplete bacterial removal, persistent inflammation and high reactive oxygen species (ROS) environment are the main challenges for periodontal tissue repair and alveolar bone regeneration. In this study, an injectable composite microgel (Gelatin methacryloyl-Phenylboronic acid/Hydroxyadamantane, GPH) loaded with antimicrobial peptide (AMP) and cerium dioxide (CeO) microspheres was developed to achieve a synergistic function of bacteriostasis, immunomodulation, and ROS removal.

Renal osteodystrophy is commonly seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to disrupted mineral homeostasis. Given the impaired renal function in these patients, common anti-resorptive agents, including bisphosphonates, must be used with caution or even contraindicated. Therefore, an alternative therapy without renal burden to combat renal osteodystrophy is urgently needed.
