AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of BMP-2 with β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) in healing bone defects in rats.
- Histological analysis indicated that pure TCP led to better collagen matrix formation and overall bone mineralization compared to BMP-2 supplementation.
- While BMP-2 accelerated TCP remodeling, it didn't significantly increase bone formation compared to using TCP alone.
Article Abstract
This study aimed to assess the biological response of BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein-2) in supplementation with β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) as a carrier in the bone healing of surgical defects in rats' calvaria. A critical-size defect (5mm in diameter) was filled with β-TCP alone or added with that plus 5mg of BMP-2 at 5, 15, and 30 postoperative days. Histomorphometric and immunohistochemical (osteocalcin, collagen type I, and metalloproteinase-9) analysis was performed to assess the features of bone healing. Histological behavior and collagen type I labeling showed increased formation of the collagen matrix, leading to a higher percentage of newly formed bone and biomaterial for tissue and more total mineralization of pure TCP when compared to the other groups. The supplementation with BMP-2 promoted faster TCP remodeling; however, there was no statistically significant difference for the bone formed in both groups (P>0.05). Collagen-matrix formation and new bone formation reached maximum levels when the defects were filled with pure TCP, even exceeding the levels from BMP-2 supplementation.

Treatment of complex craniofacial deformities is still a challenge for medicine and dentistry because few approach therapies are available on the market that allow rehabilitation using 3D-printed medical devices. Thus, this study aims to create a scaffold with a morphology that simulates bone tissue, able to create a favorable environment for the development and differentiation of osteogenic cells. Moreover, its association with Plenum Guide, through cell-based tissue engineering (ASCs) for guided bone regeneration in critical rat calvarial defects.

The global rise in population has led to an increased demand for food production, necessitating the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Traditional methods often rely on synthetic chemicals that negatively impact both human health and the environment. This study aimed to screen soil fungal strains for plant-growth-promoting traits, specifically focusing on their ability to solubilize phosphates, produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and synthesize siderophores.

Background: Recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) has been shown to effectively promote the formation of new periodontal tissues, and its efficacy has been demonstrated in clinical settings. Moreover, the clinical and radiographic outcomes in the treatment of periodontal infrabony defects can be improved by using rhFGF-2 in combination with a bone substitute. Here, we present a case of four-wall bone defect in a tooth treated by combination regenerative therapy using rhFGF-2 and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP).

The recruitment of the phosphorus-solubilizing rhizobacteria plays an important role in response to phosphorus deficiency. Through the treatments of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) and the FERONIA (FER) functional deficient mutants (fer-4 and fer-5) with the soil suspension in various phosphorus conditions, we discovered that FER could promote phosphorus-solubilizing rhizobacteria enrichment to rescue the defective plant during phosphorus deficiency. The amplicon sequencing data reflected that the phosphorus-solubilizing rhizobacterial genus Alcaligenes was significantly enriched of Col-0 than fer-4 in low phosphorus conditions.

Tricalcium silicate (TCS)-based bioactive cements have attracted great attention for various endodontic applications owing to their hydraulic property, sealing ability and biological properties. Nevertheless, poor handling property and anti-washout ability are the main challenges for traditional TCS-based cements and their osteoinductive capacity needs enhance for accelerated pulpal and periapical tissue repair/regeneration. Herein, we developed an injectable TCS/α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP)/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) biocomposite with improved physicochemical properties and osteoinductive ability via the incorporation of α-TCP/HPMC.
