Purpose: The roles of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in autologous and allogenic bone grafts and the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a modifier were investigated.
Materials And Methods: Forty rabbit mandibles received onlay grafts of fresh autologous and frozen allogeneic bone. PRP was added on the right side. After intervals of 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days, the animals were euthanized. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to measure the quantity and area of osteoblasts. Sections stained with toluidine blue showed newly formed bone area. In sections with Weigert-van Gieson staining, the number of vessels and their lumens was quantified. The quantity and area of cellular arrangements expressing CD31 and the area of vessels were obtained.
Results: Quantities of osteoblasts and their areas, newly formed matrices, and vessels and their lumen areas were obtained and identified by immunomarking with CD31. In general, values for these were higher in rabbits with allogeneic bone grafts and on the sides where PRP had been added. There was a variable significance between categories and days. It was confirmed that osteogenesis was intensified when angiogenesis was consolidated.
Conclusions: Angiogenesis was important for greater osteoblast differentiation and bone matrix synthesis, ensuring consolidation of onlay grafts with the receptor bed. Allogeneic grafts and PRP intensified these processes.

Background: Nonunion following a long bone fracture has gained a lot of attention due to the dreadful impact on the life quality of tremendous patients. Recent data have demonstrated the important involvement of angiogenesis in improving fracture healing. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is an active component of Chinese herbal medicine with various biological activities including pro-angiogenesis property.

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).

The cranial mesenchyme, originating from both neural crest and mesoderm, imparts remarkable regional specificity and complexity to postnatal calvarial tissue. While the distinct embryonic origins of the superior and dura periosteum of the cranial parietal bone have been described, the extent of their respective contributions to bone and vessel formation during adult bone defect repair remains superficially explored. Utilizing transgenic mouse models in conjunction with high-resolution multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPLSM), we have separately evaluated bone and vessel formation in the superior and dura periosteum before and after injury, as well as following intermittent treatment of recombinant peptide of human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH), Teriparatide.

Introduction: FTY720 bioactive lipid has proliferative, osteoinductive, chemo attractive, and angiogenic properties, being thus a potential exogenous administered agent for promotion of bone regeneration. Herein we developed FTY720-loaded liposomes as a potential delivery system that could retain and prolong the bioactivity of the bioactive lipid and at the same time reduce its cytotoxicity (at high doses).
Methods: FTY720 liposomes were prepared by thin-lipid hydration and microfluidic flow focusing, and evaluated for their ability to induce proliferation, osteoinduction, and chemoattraction in three cell types: MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells, L929 fibroblast cells, and ATDC5 chondrogenic cells.
