Resolution of inflammation is essential for normal tissue healing and regeneration, with macrophages playing a key role in regulating this process through phenotypic changes from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory state. Pharmacological and mechanical (mechanotherapy) techniques can be employed to polarize macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype, thereby diminishing inflammation. One clinically relevant pharmacological approach is the inhibition of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4).

Low fracture toughness, low-temperature degradation (LTD) susceptibility, and inadequate soft tissue integration greatly limit the application of zirconia ceramic abutment. Integrating the "surface" of hard all-ceramic materials into the gingival soft tissue and simultaneously promoting the "inner" LTD resistance and fracture toughness is challenging. Composite ceramics are effective in improving the comprehensive properties of materials.

Recombinant human IGF-1 is used to treat severe primary IGF-1 deficiency, but this treatment requires twice-daily injection, often does not fully correct the growth deficit, and has important off-target effects. We therefore sought to target IGF-1 to growth plate cartilage by generating fusion proteins combining IGF-1 with single-chain human antibody fragments that target matrilin-3, a cartilage matrix protein. We previously showed that this cartilage-targeting IGF-1 fusion protein (CV1574-1) promoted growth plate function in a GH-deficient (lit) mouse model.

Surfactin is a biosurfactant produced by many strains with a wide variety of functions from lowering surface tension to allowing motility of bacterial swarms, acting as a signaling molecule, and even exhibiting antimicrobial activities. However, the impact of surfactin during biofilm formation has been debated with variable findings between studies depending on the experimental conditions. B.

The early treatment of Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head (ONFH) remains a clinical challenge. Conventional Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (BMSC) injection methods often result in unsatisfactory outcomes due to mechanical cell damage, low cell survival and retention rates, inadequate cell matrix accumulation, and poor intercellular interaction. In this study, we employed a novel cell carrier material termed "3D Microscaffold" to deliver BMSCs, addressing these issues and enhancing the therapeutic effects of cell therapy for ONFH.
