Objective: Currently, much work has focused on the engineering of bone using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), which differentiate into osteogenic cells. This study was conducted to assess the bone-regenerating capacity of ADSCs with genetic modification.
Materials And Methods: ADSCs were cultured and transduced with recombinant adenovirus-expressing bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rAd/BMP-2). Two 5-mm full-thickness bone defects were created on the parietal bones of 24 rats. The defects were left empty (n = 12), restored with a scaffold alone (n = 12), transplanted with ADSCs in osteogenic media (n = 12), or transplanted with rAd/BMP-2-transduced ADSCs (n = 12). Six defects from each group were assessed by histologic observation, histomorphometric analysis, and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) imaging at 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation.
Results: Increased new bone formation was observed in the rAd/BMP-2-transduced ADSC groups, compared with the other groups. On micro-CT, significant differences were noted in bone volume-to-tissue volume ratios between rAd/BMP-2-transduced ADSCs group and the other groups at both time points (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The result demonstrates that transferring BMP-2 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs and enhances bone regeneration. Under limitation of this study, genetic modification of ADSCs with BMP-2 could be adopted in clinical application.

Infected bone defects show a significant reduction in neovascularization during the healing process, primarily due to persistent bacterial infection and immune microenvironmental disorders. Existing treatments are difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments for infected bone defects, which is a key clinical therapeutic challenge that needs to be addressed. In this study, a conductive hydrogel based on copper nanoparticles was developed for controlling bacterial infection and remodeling the immune microenvironment.

Background: Strontium ranelate (SR) is an effective bone regeneration drug; however, its low bioavailability and strong hydrophilicity cause a strong cytotoxicity, venous thrombosis, and allergic reactions when administered in its free form. This study aims to enhance the SR bioavailability by utilizing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) as a drug delivery system (DDS).
Methods: To improve the drug delivery efficiency and sustained release of the NLC, their surfaces were coated with chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a natural polymer.

Purpose: This study assessed the impact of the buccal bone on hard and soft tissues in submerged and non-submerged immediate implants using a minipig model.
Methods: Sixty-five titanium implants (Camlog Progressive Line) were placed in four minipigs immediately after tooth extraction. All non-submerged (NSM) implants received a mechanically induced buccal bone defect (NSM-BD), whereas the submerged group (SM) was classified as defective (SM-BD) and intact (SM-BI).

Background: Bone defects, particularly in the mandible, pose significant clinical challenges due to the limited regenerative capacity. Effective bone tissue engineering requires biomaterials that promote both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. This study developed an optimized collagen-nano hydroxyapatite scaffold loaded with dexamethasone and stem cells to enhance bone regeneration.
