Purpose: Nonsurgical treatment of mandibular fractures secondary to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) or osteoradionecrosis (ORN) mostly results in nonunion, whereas nonsurgical fracture treatment of atrophic fractures can achieve favorable results in selected cases. The aim of this study was to compare callus formation in pathological mandibular fractures due to MRONJ, ORN, or extreme mandibular atrophy.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study reviewing the medical records of all MRONJ-, ORN-, or atrophy-related fractures treated at the departments of maxillofacial surgery in the Leuven or Lille university hospitals between 2010 and 2019 was undertaken. The primary predictor variable in this study was disease state (MRONJ, ORN, or extreme mandibular atrophy). The primary outcome variable was callus formation after 1 month of follow-up (present, absent). Additional study variables measured included patient age and gender. T-tests, Fisher exact tests, and multiple logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. The significance level was set at P < .05.
Results: Seventy patients were analyzed (12 MRONJ cases, 54 ORN fractures, 4 atrophic fractures). The callus formation prevalence in nonsurgically approached fractures secondary to ORN and MRONJ after 1 month of follow-up was 3.03% (2/66 cases). In contrast, callus was detected in all patients in the mandibular atrophy-related fracture group. Osteonecrosis was statistically correlated with impaired callus formation (P = .0121).
Conclusion: Whereas one would expect indirect fracture healing and thus callus formation to occur in all non-surgically treated fractures, our data demonstrate its absence in the majority of MRONJ- and ORN-related fractures. Multiple plausible explanations for this phenomenon were identified: periosteal damage with loss of callus-forming cells, compromised vasculature, and bacterial colonization.

Agarwood is a precious resinous heartwood highly valued for its cultural, religious, and medicinal significance. With the increasing market demand, natural agarwood resources are rapidly depleting, making the development of effective artificial induction methods for agarwood highly significant. This study aims to explore the feasibility of using callus tissue to assess the ability of fungi to induce agarwood formation.

Macrophage efferocytosis (clearance of apoptotic cells) is crucial for tissue homeostasis and wound repair, where macrophages secrete factors that promote resolution of inflammation and regenerative signalling. This study examined the role of efferocytic macrophage-associated CCL2 secretion, its influence on mesenchymal stem/progenitor cell (MSPC) chemotaxis, and in vivo cell recruitment using Ccr2 (KO) mice with disrupted CCL2 receptor signalling in two regenerative models: ossicle implants and ulnar stress fractures. Single cell RNA sequencing and PCR validation indicated that efferocytosis of various apoptotic cells at bone injury sites (osteoblasts, pre-osteoblasts, MSPC) upregulated CCL2.

Background: Embryogenic callus (EC) has strong regenerative potential, useful for propagation and genetic transformation. miRNAs have been confirmed to play key regulatory roles in EC regeneration across various plants. However, challenges in EC induction have hindered the breeding of drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.
