Identification of human cranio-maxillofacial skeletal stem cells for mandibular development.

Compared with long bone that arises from the mesoderm, the major portion of the maxillofacial bones and the front bone of the skull are derived from cranial neural crest cells and undergo intramembranous ossification. Human skeletal stem cells have been identified in embryonic and fetal long bones. Here, we describe a single-cell atlas of the human embryonic mandible and identify a population of cranio-maxillofacial skeletal stem cells (CMSSCs).

Background: Intermuscular bones (IBs) are segmental intramembranous ossifications located within myosepta. They share similarities with tendon ossification, a form of heterotopic ossification (HO). The mechanisms underlying IB formation remain incompletely understood.

Biomaterials are widely used as orthopaedic implants and bone graft substitutes. We aimed to develop a rapid osteogenic assessment method using a murine tibial periosteal ossification model to evaluate the bone formation/remodelling potential of a biomaterial within 2-4 weeks. A novel hydroxyapatite/aragonite (HAA) biomaterial was implanted into C57BL/6 mice juxtaskeletally between the tibia and tibialis anterior muscle.

A review of the ethmoidal foramina and their clinical application.

The ethmoidal foramina (EF), located on the medial orbital wall along the frontoethmoidal sutures, are critical anatomical landmarks for surgeries involving the medial orbital wall. This review aimed to review the surgical anatomy of the EF, including their embryology and radiology. Although the frontoethmoidal sutures mostly have two foramina passing through them, there are reports of single foramen or multiple, up to six foramina.

Probing antimicrobial synergy by novel lipopeptides paired with antibiotics.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is fast becoming a major global challenge in both hospital and community settings as many current antibiotics and treatment processes are under the threat of being rendered less effective or ineffective. Synergistic combination of an antibiotic and an aiding agent with a different set of properties provides an important but largely unexploited option to 'repurpose' existing biomaterial's space while addressing issues of potency, spectrum, toxicity and resistance in early stages of antimicrobial drug discovery. This work explores how to combine tetracycline/minocycline (TC/MC) with a broad-spectrum antimicrobial lipopeptide that has been designed to improve the efficiency of membrane targeting and intramembrane accumulation, thereby enhancing antimicrobial efficacy.
