As shown by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and membrane labeling analysis, the in vitro neoformation of rat pancreatic islets arose from two main processes: a budding from explants containing duct cells, and a competition between endocrine monolayers and fibroblasts on the culture substratum. The stronger cytoskeleton of fibroblasts and their higher adhesive properties, probably related to their more homogeneous distribution of membrane charges, may explain the spherization of the islets. The pure endocrine cell population of neoformed islets was composed mainly of insulin-secreting cells, and the other types of endocrine cells were distributed in the periphery. Preformed extracellular matrices of osmotically disrupted fibroblasts enhanced the yield of the cultures by increasing the anchorage of endocrine cells and slowing down the fibroblastic growth.

Objective: Periodontal dental ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLMSCs) play a major role in periodontal tissue regeneration by the neoformation of root cementum and alveolar bone. These cells are highly heterogeneous, and many present low potential to renovate the hard tissue damaged by periodontal disease. A previous study found that the low osteoblast/cementoblast (O/C) differentiation potential of PDLMSCs is related to high asporin (ASPN) expression, which was identified as a negative regulator of PDL cells differentiation and mineralization, suppressing BMP-2-induced O/C differentiation.

Article Synopsis
- - Craniofacial and alveolar bone defects from various causes (like tumors, trauma, or tooth loss) present significant challenges in tissue engineering and dental surgery, especially in cases of periodontal disease.
- - Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) like lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins are being researched for their potential to enhance bone regeneration and restore tissue healing in craniofacial applications.
- - A total of 19 pre-clinical studies examined the effects of SPMs on bone regeneration, showing that SPMs notably increased new bone formation by about 14.85% and reduced defect size, with RvE1 and RvD2 demonstrating
The reconstruction of bone deficiencies remains a challenge due to the limitations of autologous bone grafting. The objective of this study is to evaluate the bone regeneration efficacy of additive manufacturing of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) implants using lithography-based ceramic manufacturing (LCM). LCM uses LithaBone TCP 300 slurry for 3D printing, producing cylindrical scaffolds.

(1) Background: The desire to avoid autograft harvesting in implant dentistry has prompted an ever-increasing quest for bioceramic bone substitutes, which stimulate osteogenesis while resorbing in a timely fashion. Consequently, a highly bioactive silicon containing calcium alkali orthophosphate (Si-CAP) material was created, which previously was shown to induce greater bone cell maturation and bone neo-formation than β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in vivo as well as in vitro. Our study tested the hypothesis that the enhanced effect on bone cell function in vitro and in sheep in vivo would lead to more copious bone neoformation in patients following sinus floor augmentation (SFA) employing Si-CAP when compared to β-TCP.

The objective of this study was to investigate the osteogenic and antimicrobial effect of bioactive glass S53P4 incorporated into β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds in vitro and the bone neoformation in vivo. β-TCP and β-TCP/S53P4 scaffolds were prepared by the gel casting method. Samples were morphologically and physically characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).
