Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the earlier phase of the osseointegration of a laser-treated implant surface in terms of human protein adsorption.
Materials And Methods: Titanium surfaces were divided into machined (M), sandblasted (SB), and laser-treated (LT). The LT surfaces were created with an Nd diode-pumped laser in Q-switching, whereas the SB were treated with Al2O3. An x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of titanium surface was performed. Titanium discs were used for albumin and fibronectin adsorption evaluation through fluorescence intensity. Fibronectin evaluation was also made with Western Blot analysis on experimental implants.
Results: LT discs appeared to trigger a higher albumin and fibronectin adsorption with a regular pattern. The mean count of albumin adsorption was 0.29 and 3.8 for SB and LT, respectively (P = 0.016), whereas fibronectin values were 0.67 and 4.9 for (SB) and (LT) titanium (P = 0.02). XPS analysis showed that titanium, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen were found on all 3 surfaces.
Conclusion: Laser-engineered porous titanium surface seems to promote, in vitro, the adsorption of albumin and fibronectin more than sandblasted (SB) or machined (M) implants.

Obesity is defined as the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue and is currently the most common disease in cats. Similarly to humans, obesity negatively impacts the health and welfare of cats, predisposing them to many other disorders. The objective of this study was to compare the serum proteomes of normal-weight and overweight/obese cats, aiming to gain insights into the physiopathology of feline obesity and potentially identify new biomarkers.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Despite advancements in various treatments, the prevalence of DKD continues to rise, leading to a significant increase in the demand for dialysis and kidney transplantation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Small cell＋Ultra Potent＋Scale UP cell (SMUP-Cell), a type of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell, on DKD in the db/db mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally, with metastasis being a key factor in these fatalities.
- The study investigates the role of the TEA domain transcription factor 4 (TEAD4) in promoting tumor cell adhesion and migration through the regulation of the adhesion molecule Fibronectin (FN1), highlighting its potential links to cancer metastasis.
- Curcumin is shown to reduce the migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells by inhibiting TEAD4's interaction with the FN1 promoter, suggesting that targeting the TEAD4-FN1 axis could help mitigate breast cancer metastasis.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture (SATR) mainly affects older adults with chronic injuries, but its cause and treatment options are still unclear.
- A study used iTRAQ proteomics to identify 2432 proteins in SATR patients, highlighting 307 differentially expressed proteins linked to key biological pathways, including those related to COVID-19 and extracellular matrix organization.
- Important proteins such as fibronectin and collagen types were found to be significantly affected in SATR tissues, indicating potential targets for improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Background: Large-diameter titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) have shown promise in preserving osteoblast function under oxidative stress (OS) in vitro. However, their ability to enhance osteogenesis in vivo under OS conditions and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the osteogenic potential of 110 nm TNTs (TNT110) compared to 30 nm TNTs (TNT30) in an aging rat model exhibiting OS, and to investigate the mechanisms involved.
