Surface nanotopography is known to influence the interaction of human skeletal (mesenchymal) stem cells (hMSC) with a material surface. While most surface nanopatterning has been performed on polymer-based surfaces there is a need for techniques to produce well-defined topography features with tuneable sizes on relevant load-bearing implant materials such as titanium (Ti). In this study titania nanopillar structures with heights of either 15, 55 or 100 nm were produced on Ti surfaces using anodization through a porous alumina mask. The influence of the surface structure heights on hMSC adhesion, spreading, cytoskeletal formation and differentiation was examined. The 15 nm high topography features resulted in the greatest cell response with bone matrix nodule forming on the Ti surface after 21 days.

Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase E (INPP5E) is a 5-phosphatase critically involved in diverse physiological processes, including embryonic development, neurological function, immune regulation, hemopoietic cell dynamics, and macrophage proliferation, differentiation, and phagocytosis. Mutations in cause Joubert and Meckel-Gruber syndromes in humans; these are characterized by brain malformations, microphthalmia, situs inversus, skeletal abnormalities, and polydactyly. Recent studies have demonstrated the key role of INPP5E in governing intracellular processes like endocytosis, exocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and membrane dynamics.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to the abnormal formation of bone in non-skeletal tissues. Fibroblasts have traditionally been viewed as stationary cells primarily responsible for producing extracellular matrix during tissue repair and fibrosis. However, recent discoveries regarding their plasticity-encompassing roles in inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and osteogenesis-highlight their potential as key contributors to the development of HO.

The maintenance of skeletal muscle quality involves various signal pathways that interact with each other. Under normal physiological conditions, these intersecting signal pathways regulate and coordinate the hypertrophy and atrophy of skeletal muscles, balancing the protein synthesis and degradation of muscle. When the total rate of protein synthesis exceeds that of protein degradation, the muscle gradually becomes enlarged, while when the total rate of protein synthesis is lower than that of protein degradation, the muscle shrinks.

Age-related sarcopenia is a degenerative disease characterized by the decline in skeletal muscle mass and function during the aging process. Anabolic resistance, which refers to the diminished response of skeletal muscle to anabolic stimulation from leucine and other nutrients, is a significant contributing factor to its development. Recent studies have suggested that large neutral amino acid-transporter 1 (LAT1/SLC7A5) may play an important role in enhancing leucine's effects on protein synthesis in aging skeletal muscle.

This study aimed to analyze the impact of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of (encoding adenylate cyclase 3) on the outcome of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on body composition and screen genetic markers sensitive to HIIT in Chinese Han youth. A total of 237 non-regular exercise Han college students were recruited in a 12-week HIIT program, attending sessions 3 times a week. Before and after the HIIT program, their body composition was measured.
