Objectives: The molocular mechanism underlying human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) differentiation remains to be further elucidated. DLX2 has been confirmed to accelerate osteogenic differentiation which is one member of Distal-less family genes. However, how DLX2 regulates in osteogenic differentiation is still unclear.
Methods: The hBMSCs were isolated and identified by the antigen CD29, CD4, CD90 through flow cytometry. DLX2 expression level, molecules related signaling pathways and transcriptional markers in osteogenesis were examined by western blot and real time-PCR. Osteogenic state was weighed by the ALP Detection Kit and Alizarin red S staining. The combination between DLX2 and WNT1 was detected by Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) assay.
Results: The results showed that in the process of osteoblast differentiation, DLX2 was up-regulated accompanied with osteogenic transcriptional factor. DLX2 elevated cellular alkaline phosphatase activity, accelerated BMSC mineralization along with up-regulation of osteogenic-related gene expression. Besides, DLX2 is a transcription factor of WNT1, which activated the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway resulting in osteogenic differentiation. Whereas, the inhibitor of β-Catenin FH535 restrained enhanced osteogenic capability induced by DLX2.
Conclusions: Taken together, these results suggest that by up-regulation of Wnt/β-Catenin signaling, DLX2 accelerated human osteogenic differentiation.

Large bone defects are still a persistent challenge in orthopedics. The availability limitations and associated complications of autologous and allogeneic bone have prompted an increasing reliance on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we developed an injectable scaffold combining an acellular extracellular periosteal matrix hydrogel with poly(d,l-lactate--glycol-acetate) microspheres loaded with the E7 peptide and miR217 (miR217/E7@MP-GEL).

Functional injectable hydrogel (IH) is promising for infected bone defects (IBDs) repair, but how to endow it with desired antibacterial/immunoregulatory functions as well as avoid mechanical failures during its manipulation has posed as main challenges. Herein, rosmarinic acid (RosA), a natural product with antibacterial/immunoregulatory activities, was utilized to develop a FCR IH through forming phenylboronic acid ester bonds with 4-formylphenyl phenylboronic acid (4-FPBA) grafted chitosan (CS) (FC). After being applied to the IBD site, the FCR IH was then injected with tobramycin (Tob) solution, another alkaline antibacterial drug, to induce in situ crystallization of the FC, endowing the resultant FCRT hydrogel with adaptively enhanced mechanical strength and structural stability.

Bioprinting of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)-based bioinks has attracted considerable interest in bone tissue engineering. However, the role and relevance of the physicochemical properties of nHA incorporated in a bioink, particularly in terms of its printability and the biological behavior of bioprinted cells, remain largely unexplored. In this study, two bioinspired nHAs with different chemical compositions, crystallinity, and morphologies were synthesized and characterized: a more crystalline, needle-like Mg-doped nHA (N-HA) and a more amorphous, rounded Mg- and CO-doped nHA (R-HA).

Facial nerve injuries lead to significant functional impairments and psychological distress for affected patients. Effective repair of these injuries remains a challenge. For longer nerve gaps, the regeneration outcomes after nerve grafting remain suboptimal due to limited sources and postoperative immune responses.

The calvarial bones of the infant skull are linked by transient fibrous joints known as sutures and fontanelles, which are essential for skull compression during birth and expansion during postnatal brain growth. Genetic conditions caused by pathogenic variants in FGFR2, such as Apert, Pfeiffer, Crouzon syndromes, result in calvarial deformities due to premature suture fusion and a persistently open anterior fontanelle (AF). In this study we investigated how Fgfr2 regulates AF closure by leveraging mouse genetics and single-cell transcriptomics.
