Published: April 2020

Previous studies attributed the origin of metal veins penetrating graphite nodules in the Canyon Diablo IAB main group iron meteorite to condensation from vapor or melting of host metal. Abundances of 16 siderophile elements measured in kamacite within vein and host meteorite are most consistent with an origin by melting of the host metal followed by fractional crystallization of the liquid. The presence of the veins within graphite nodules may be explained by impact, as peak shock temperatures, and thus the most likely areas to undergo metal melting, are at metal-graphite interfaces. The origin of the veins is constrained by Re-Os chronometry to have occurred early (>4 Ga) in Solar System history.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on developing porous Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds coated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to enhance bone tissue engineering and improve bone integration.
  • The rGO-pTi scaffolds had unique micropores and high hydrophilicity, promoting better protein adsorption and cell growth, which led to increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and other signs of enhanced bone-forming ability.
  • When tested in rabbits with bone defects, the rGO-pTi scaffolds showed significant improvement in bone matrix formation and integration without causing bleeding, suggesting they could be effective for bone regeneration.

Background: The ability of nanomaterials to induce osteogenic differentiation is limited, which seriously imped the repair of craniomaxillofacial bone defect. Magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) nanocomposites with the excellent physicochemical properties have great potential in bone tissue engineering. In this study, we aim to explore the craniomaxillofacial bone defect repairment effect of MGO nanocomposites and its underlying mechanism.

Background: Tissue engineering has attracted recent attention as a promising bone repair and reconstruction approach. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are pluripotent and can differentiate into bone cells with the correct environment and substrate. Therefore, suitable scaffold materials are essential for fabricating functional three-dimensional (3D) tissue and tissue regeneration.

In this study, we evaluated the use of graphene oxide (GO) mixed with methyl methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) for the construction of a microenvironmental implant to repair bone defects in orthopedic surgery. A scaffold containing a GelMA/GO composite with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was constructed using three-dimensional bioprinting. The survival and osteogenic capacity of MSCs in the composite bioink were evaluated using cell viability and proliferation assays, osteogenesis-related gene expression analysis, and implantation under the skin of nude mice.
