Because cartilage has limited potential for self-repair, tissue engineering is expected to replace the present therapies for damaged cartilage, such as total knee arthroplasty. However, scaffolds suitable for cartilage tissue engineering have not been established. We synthesized a novel porous scaffold, a collagen sponge incorporating a hydroxyapatite/chondroitinsulfate composite (pCol-HAp/ChS), containing materials which resemble extracellular matrices in bone and cartilage tissues. In this report, the physical, mechanical and biological properties of the scaffold are compared with those of a collagen sponge (pCol) and pCol incorporating a hydroxyapatite composite (pCol-HAp). HAp/ChS had smaller crystals and a larger total surface area than HAp. SEM images of the three materials showed pCol-HAp/ChS to have the roughest surface. The mechanical properties suggest that pCol-HAp/ChS and pCol/HAp are similar, and superior to pCol. Seeding experiments showed a uniform distribution of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in pCol-HAp/ChS and pCol/HAp. Histochemical staining after 2 weeks of culture revealed pCol-HAp/ChS to be the most chondrogenic. From these results, pCol-HAp/ChS is expected to be a candidate for a scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering in place of collagen sponge.

Tooth extraction is physiologically followed by resorption of alveolar bone. Surgical method which aims to minimise this reduction in alveolar bone with a goal to provide enough bone volume for dental implant insertion is called socket preservation. The purpose of this article was to asses clinical, histomorphometric and histological results of socket preservation conducted with natural bovine bone substitute with hyaluronate.

Long noncoding RNAs may function as competitive endogenous RNAs by sponging microRNAs, thereby contributing to the progression of diabetic nephropathy. In this study, a potential diabetic nephropathy-related long noncoding-microRNA-mRNA axis, Gm4419-miR-455-3p-, was predicted using bioinformatics methods. To verify the role of the Gm4419-miR-455-3p- axis in diabetic nephropathy, an high glucose-induced mesangial cell model was established.

Burn wounds are challenging to treat due to considerable tissue damage and fluid loss. Creating wound dressings from natural and biological materials makes it possible to treat wounds and promote rapid epithelialization to speed healing and restore skin function. As a result, the ability of a collagen scaffold (Col) made from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and putative bioactive phytochemical components from a Sargassum glaucescens (S.

Introduction: Following tooth extraction, there is comparatively more bone loss at the buccal aspect at 3 months of healing, which may result in 56% bone loss due to resorption of the bucco-facial ridge contour. In the socket shield technique, a tooth is planned for extraction in such a way that the tooth is sectioned in two halves, a palatal section is removed and the facial part is retained.
