Background: Platelet-rich plasma is used in oral and maxillofacial surgery; however, its real efficacy is debated. Also, the in vitro effects on bone-specific functions are contradictory. Understanding the mechanisms of action of platelet-derived factors could be the basis for their proper use in clinical applications.
Methods: The functional parameters of osteoblasts (proliferation, alkaline phosphatase, collagen synthesis, and calcium deposition) were analyzed in vitro for 14 days in the presence of different concentrations (100%, 33%, and 11%) of platelet gel releasate (PGR).
Results: Concentrations of 100% PGR and 33% PGR stimulated cells to proliferate more than 10% fetal calf serum. The effect on cell proliferation was dose dependent, and the addition of dexamethasone (dex) and beta-glycerophosphate (beta-GP) reduced the proliferative effects. Alkaline phosphatase activity was stimulated by 33% PGR and 11% PGR after 7 days and was induced further by dex and beta-GP. Also, collagen synthesis, measured on day 11, was stimulated by 33% PGR and 11% PGR. Calcium deposition, evaluated after 7 and 14 days, was greatest in cells treated with PGR supplemented with dex and GP. The mineralization process increased with time; on day 14, calcium aggregates were observed in all cultures treated with PGR (100%, 33%, and 11%).
Conclusions: PGR stimulated osteoblast proliferation in a dose dependent manner and, when used at 33% and 11%, induced maximum levels of alkaline phosphatase and collagen synthesis. Moreover, in the presence of dex and beta-GP, PGR stimulated the end maturative status of cells as expressed by the deposition of calcium nodules.

The screening of glycoprotein markers has become an integral part of the in vitro diagnosis of malignant tumors. Herein, an electrochemical method based on alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-mediated enzymatic silver deposition is reported for the highly sensitive detection of glycoprotein tumor markers, in which ALP enzymes are decorated to the glycan moieties of targets via the lectin-carbohydrate interactions. As glycoproteins are conjugated with multiple glycan chains, lectin-mediated labeling can result in the decoration of each target with multiple ALP enzymes.

To investigate the effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the biological performance of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) under oxidative stress status induced by hydrogen peroxide (HO). The hDPSCs were isolated by using tissue block separation method from healthy permanent teeth extracted for orthodontic reason. hDPSCs surface markers CD34, CD45, CD90 and CD105 were detected by flow cytometry.

To investigate the effects of artificial light at night on the growth of mandibles in mice and its regulatory mechanisms. A mouse model of artificial light at night (night light pollution group) and normal lighting (normal light group) was established by controlling light exposure time, with 4 mice in each group. Micro-CT was employed to analyze the differences in bone quantities of the mandibles between the two groups.

Antidrug antibodies (ADAs) against biologics present a major challenge for sustained biotherapy, including enzyme replacement therapies and adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies. These antibodies arise from undesirable immune responses, leading to altered pharmacokinetics, reduced efficacy, and adverse reactions. In this study, we introduced a rationally designed lipid-rapamycin (Rapa)-based nanovaccine to restore immune tolerance to biologics and overcome drug resistance.
