Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to be a crucial role in stem cell-associated bone regeneration. However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) remain largely unclear. We found that overexpression of circRNA124534 unexpectedly promoted DPSCs osteogenesis and . Our results confirmed circRNA124534, acting as a miRNA sponge, directly interacts with miR-496 and consequently regulates β-catenin, which in turn exerts osteogenesis of DPSCs. Enforced expression of miR-496 reversed the osteogenesis of circRNA124534, and suppression of miR-496 enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs by promoting β-catenin. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate functions of circRNA124534 in modulating osteogenic differentiation through the miR-496/β-catenin pathway; thus, providing a novel potential target for therapy.

Bone consists of a complex mineralised matrix that is maintained by a controlled equilibrium of synthesis and resorption by different cell types. Hyaluronan (HA) is an important glycosaminoglycan in many tissues including bone. Previously, the importance of HA synthesis for bone development during embryogenesis has been shown.

Segetalin B (SB) has shown promise in mitigating osteoporosis in ovariectomized (OVX) mice, though its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates how SB promotes bone formation through Phospholipase D1 (PLD1) activation in OVX models. In vitro, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from OVX mice were cultured for osteogenic differentiation.

Bioactive ceramics have been used in bone tissue repair and regeneration. However, because of the complex in vivo osteogenesis process, long cycle, and difficulty of accurately tracking, the mechanism of interaction between materials and cells has yet to be fully understood, hindering its development. The ceramic microbridge microfluidic chip system may solve the problem and provide an in vitro method to simulate the microenvironment in vivo.

Angiogenesis is imperative for bone regeneration, yet the conventional cytokine therapies have been constrained by prohibitive costs and safety apprehensions. It is urgent to develop a safer and more efficient therapeutic alternative. Herein, utilizing the methodologies of Deep Learning (DL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), we proposed a paradigm algorithm that amalgamates with a variant, , to deftly discern potential pro-angiogenic peptides from intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of 262 related proteins, where are fertile grounds for developing safer and highly promising bioactive peptides.
