Impaired bone formation contributes to the lack of bone healing in multiple myeloma and there is a need for agents with bone anabolic properties to reverse the bone deficit in patients. Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor with antitumour efficacy in myeloma patients, enhanced new bone formation in mouse calvarial cultures; this effect was blocked by dickkopf 1(Dkk1), an antagonist of Wnt signalling implicated in myeloma bone disease. Bortezomib inhibited Dkk1 expression in calvariae and bone marrow-derived stromal cells, suggesting a novel mechanism by which bortezomib exerts its effects in bone. Clinical trials in patients with myeloma bone disease are needed to validate these results.

Periodontitis, a common chronic inflammatory condition caused by bacteria, leads to loss of attachment, resorption of alveolar bone, and ultimately tooth loss. Therefore, reducing bacterial load and fostering alveolar bone regeneration are essential components in the treatment of periodontitis. In this study, we prepared smaller-sized Ag-Metal Organic Frameworks (Ag@MOF) and loaded with sodium alginate (Alg) hydrogel for periodontitis treatment.

Obesity is a major public health issue worldwide. Despite various approaches to weight loss, the most effective technique for reducing obesity, as well as diabetes and associated diseases, is bariatric surgery. Increasingly, young women without children are undergoing bariatric surgery, vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) being the most common procedure nowadays.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.
Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of a representative of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) chemical group, namely perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and its alternatives (perfluorobutanoic acid [PFBA] and the hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid [GenX]) on bone homeostasis, a process that mainly depends on osteoblast (OB) and osteoclast (OC) activities at the cellular level. C3H10T1/2 cells and bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) were respectively induced into OBs and OCs, and treated with PFOA, PFBA, and GenX at doses of 0.25, 2.

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has attracted considerable attention in the field of biomedical engineering due to its potential for use in bone regeneration applications. The present study investigates the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) combined with calcium and cerium ions (BNC-Ce:CaP) in bone regeneration applications. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of monetite and hydroxyapatite phases in BNC-CaP, while BNC-Ce:CaP revealed an additional brushite phase.
