Hydrogel surface properties can be modified to form bioactive interfaces to modulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. In this work, a hydrogel made of gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA) and alginate was designed and tested as a scaffold to control stem-cell osteogenic differentiation. The hydrogel's surface was treated with polydopamine (pDA) to create an adhesive layer for the adsorption of the osteoinductive drug dexamethasone (Dex). The presence of the pDA coating enhanced Dex adsorption and retention over 21 days. This effect resulted in a delay in the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs cultured on the hydrogel treated with a pDA layer.

In bone tissue engineering, a suitable scaffold is the key. Due to their similar composition to bone tissue, special structure, good mechanical properties, and osteogenic properties, acellular fish scale scaffolds are potential scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. At present, the fish scale decellularization scheme mostly uses a combination of sodium dodecyl sulfate and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), but this method has problems.

Due to the limited ability to self-repair, the regeneration of bone critical-sized defects (CSD) is a significant challenge. Bone tissue engineering scaffolds are considered promising candidates for CSD repair, but low cell infiltration efficiency and a lack of nutrients greatly restrict bone regeneration abilities. Herein, we developed a dynamic culturing of large biomimetic bone scaffolds, PCL/GelMA@cells that combining 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) multi-channel cylinder with gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) encapsulated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs).

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a destructive bone disease, and overuse of alcohol is one of the major contributing factors. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their exosomes have been reported to attenuate ONFH, the potential mechanisms of alcohol-induced ONFH (AONFH) are unclear. Here, we isolated and identified human umbilical cord MSCs-derived exosomal (hucMSCs-exos) miR-25-3p.

Introduction: Bone homeostasis between osteoclast bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation is tightly regulated by a series of factors such as the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Denosumab that neutralizes RANKL is effective and widely applied in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, factors that participated in the RANKL-related bone remodeling process in primary and secondary osteoporosis are less known.

The low-affinity neurotrophic receptor CD271 plays a crucial role in the osteogenic differentiation of ectomesenchyme stem cells (EMSCs), which is essential for the development and regeneration of jaw bones. This study aimed to investigate the influence of CD271 on EMSCs osteogenic differentiation and to uncover the underlying mechanisms. CD271-deficient mice exhibited delayed mandibular bone development, with a significantly reduction in the expression of osteogenic makers such as ALP, Col-1, OPN, and RUNX2.
