AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Bone formation relies on sufficient blood supply and osteoprogenitor cells.
Purpose: The study aims to evaluate the influence of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in combination with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on early vascularization and intramembranous bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: Vertical bone regeneration was tested in rat calvarium guided bone regeneration model. Gold domes were filled with a mixture of 5 × 10(5) osteogenic transformed MSC and 5 × 10(5) EPC (EPC/MSC) that were mixed with β-tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) scaffold. Domes filled with βTCP alone served as control. Rats were sacrificed after 4 or 12 weeks. Histomorphometry was used to determine blood vessel (Bv) density, vertical bone height, and bone area in the regenerated tissue.
Results: At both time points, new augmented hard tissue filled the space under the dome, and Bv density was higher in the EPC/MSC transplanted group vs control. However, bone height and bone area were similar among the groups 4 weeks posttransplantation, but were doubled in the EPC/MSC transplanted group 12 weeks posttransplantation.
Conclusions: EPC/MSC transplantation increases Bv formation in the early stages of healing that precedes enhancement of extracortical bone regeneration in later stages.

Background: Therapies for cartilage restoration are of great interest, but current options provide limited results. In salamanders, interzone (IZN) tissue can regenerate large joint lesions. The mammalian homolog to this tissue exists during fetal development and exhibits remarkable chondrogenesis in vitro.

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) implant generally provides temporary fracture fixation and facilitates bone regeneration. However, the exact effects of generated Mg ions (Mg), hydrogen gas (H), and hydroxide ions (OH) by Mg degradation on enhancing fracture healing are not fully understood. Here we investigate the degradation of Mg intramedullary nail (Mg-IMN), revealing the generation of these degradation products around the fracture site during early stages.

Bone defects represent a significant challenge in clinical practice, driving the need for innovative solutions that effectively support bone regeneration. Barrier membranes, due to playing a critical role in creating an environment conducive to bone regeneration by preventing the infiltration of non-osteogenic tissues, are widely applied to bone repair. However, inadequate spatial stability and osteogenesis-promoting ability often limit current barrier membranes.

In this study, a new hybrid nanoparticle composed of magnesium hydroxide and copper oxide (Mg(OH)/CuO) with an optimized ratio of magnesium (Mg) to copper (Cu) was designed and incorporated into a 3D-printed scaffold made of polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin. These hybrid nanostructures (MCNs) were prepared using a green, solvent-free method. Their topography, surface morphology, and structural properties were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
