Purpose: This study aimed to explore if initiation of biomimetic apatite nucleation can be used to enhance osteoblast response to biodegradable tissue regeneration composite membranes.
Materials And Methods: Bioactive thermoplastic composites consisting of poly(ε-caprolactone/DL-lactide) and bioactive glass (BAG) were prepared at different stages of biomimetic calcium phosphate deposition by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). The modulation of the BAG dissolution and the osteogenic response of rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were analyzed.
Results: SBF treatment resulted in a gradual calcium phosphate deposition on the composites and decreased BAG reactivity in the subsequent cell cultures. Untreated composites and composites covered by thick calcium phosphate layer (14 days in SBF) expedited MSC mineralization in comparison to neat polymers without BAG, whereas other osteogenic markers--alkaline phosphatase activity, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin expression--were initially decreased. In contrast, surfaces with only small calcium phosphate aggregates (five days in SBF) had similar early response than neat polymers but still demonstrated enhanced mineralization.
Conclusion: A short biomimetic treatment enhances osteoblast response to bioactive composite membranes.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), is a common syndrome in end stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients, is marked by dysregulation of electrolytes and hormones, including calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcimemetics are a cornerstone of PTH lowering therapy; cinacalcet, an oral calcimemetic, is the most used and typically prescribed as a daily administration, thus contributing to the high total pill burden of this population. Recent clinical trials have provided evidence that administration of cinacalcet at the dialysis unit three times a week might be a safe and effective treatment option.

Crystalline nephropathy (CN) is characterized by deposition of microcrystals within the kidney tubular microstructure, specifically in the renal tubular cells. Nephropathic conditions have been observed in kidney stone patients as nephrocalcinosis, resulting from the deposition of calcium phosphate (CaP) microcrystals mainly within the renal tubule. CaP microcrystals trigger nephrotoxicity and cell death leading to acute and chronic kidney disease and in some cases end stage renal disease.

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and a polysaccharide (SUP) were embedded in the calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffold, and the bone repair ability was evaluated. The new scaffolds were characterized using x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses. CPC-BMP2-SUPH scaffold promoted the BMP-2 release by 1.

Introduction: Data on dietary calcium intake (DCI) from healthy North Indian adults are limited. Hence, the present study aims to assess DCI in healthy community-dwelling adults residing in an affluent North Indian city and correlate with serum biochemical parameters.
Methods: Healthy men and women were recruited from the community by door-to-door surveys.

Introduction: Chronic inflammation leading to implant failure present major challenges in orthopedics, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery. Titanium alloys, while widely used, often provoke inflammatory complications. Zinc-doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings offer potential to enhance implant integration by improving corrosion resistance, bioactivity, and immunocompatibility.
