A major limitation in the bio-medical sector is the availability of materials suitable for bone tissue engineering using stem cells and methodology converting the stochastic biological events towards definitive as well as efficient bio-mineralization. We show that osteoblasts and Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Pools (BM-MSCP) express TRPM8, a Ca-ion channel critical for bone-mineralization. TRPM8 inhibition triggers up-regulation of key osteogenesis factors; and increases mineralization by osteoblasts. We utilized CMT:HEMA, a carbohydrate polymer-based hydrogel that has nanofiber-like structure suitable for optimum delivery of TRPM8-specific activators or inhibitors. This hydrogel is ideal for proper adhesion, growth, and differentiation of osteoblast cell lines, primary osteoblasts, and BM-MSCP. CMT:HEMA coated with AMTB (TRPM8 inhibitor) induces differentiation of BM-MSCP into osteoblasts and subsequent mineralization in a dose-dependent manner. Prolonged and optimum inhibition of TRPM8 by AMTB released from the gels results in upregulation of osteogenic markers. We propose that AMTB-coated CMT:HEMA can be used as a tunable surface for bone tissue engineering. These findings may have broad implications in different bio-medical sectors.

Synthetic bone transplantation has emerged in recent years as a highly promising strategy to address the major clinical challenge of bone tissue defects. In this field, bioactive glasses (BGs) have been widely recognized as a viable alternative to traditional bone substitutes due to their unique advantages, including favorable biocompatibility, pronounced bioactivity, excellent biodegradability, and superior osseointegration properties. This article begins with a comprehensive overview of the development and success of BGs in bone tissue engineering, and then focuses on their composite reinforcement systems with biodegradable metals, calcium-phosphorus (Ca-P)-based bioceramics, and biodegradable medical polymers, respectively.

This study tested whether combined ceftriaxone and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) would defend the spinal cord against acute spinal infection (ASI) in rodent. Adult-Male-SD rats were grouped into groups 1 (SC)/2 (ASI)/3 (ASI + ceftriaxone from days 2 to 28 after ASI induction)/4 (ASI + allogenic ADMSCs from day 2 for a total of 3 doses/3 consecutive intervals by intravenous injection)/5 (ASI + combined ceftriaxone and ADMSC) and spinal cord tissues were harvested by day 28. Circulatory levels of TNF-α/IL-6 at days 7 and 28, and these two parameters in spinal fluid at day 28 were lowest in group 1, highest in group 2, significantly lower in group 5 than in groups 3/4, and significantly lower in group 3 than in group 4 (all p < 0.

Context: TIO, a paraneoplastic disorder characterised by renal phosphate wasting, is cured by surgical removal of the culprit tumour. Despite correct localization, some remain refractory to intervention, resulting in substantial long-term medical complications.
Aim: We aim to identify risk factors associated with a refractory outcome.

Unlabelled: Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare manifestation of renal osteodystrophy in) patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH). It occurs due to increased osteoclastic activity secondary to high plasmatic parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. This leads to bone deformation with thickening and massive enlargement of the cranial vault, resulting in a leonine face appearance.

Aptamers represent a distinct category of short nucleotide sequences or peptide molecules characterized by their ability to bind to specific targets with high precision. These molecules are predominantly synthesized through SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) technology. Recent findings indicate that aptamers may have significant applications in regenerative medicine, particularly in the domain of tissue repair.
