Effective treatments for critical size bone defects remain challenging. 6-Bromoindirubin-3'-Oxime (BIO), a glycogen synthase kinase 3β inhibitor, is a promising alternative for treatment of these defects since it aids in promoting osteogenic differentiation. In this study, BIO is incorporated into a new formulation of the guanosine diphosphate cross-linked chitosan scaffold to promote osteogenic differentiation. BIO incorporation was confirmed with C NMR through a novel concentration dependent peak around 41 ppm. The rapid gelation rate was maintained along with the internal structure's stability. The 10 μM BIO dose supported the control scaffold's microstructure demonstrating a suitable porosity and a low closed pore percentage. While pore sizes of BIO incorporated scaffolds were slightly smaller, pore heterogeneity was maintained. A proof-of-concept study with C2C12 cells suggested a dose-dependent response of BIO on early stages of osteogenic differentiation within the scaffold. These results support future work to examine BIO's role on osteogenic differentiation and biomineralization of encapsulated cells in the scaffold for bone regeneration.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.
Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

The imbalance of redox homeostasis, especially the abnormal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a key obstacle in the bone repair process. Therefore, developing materials capable of scavenging ROS and modulating the microenvironment of bone defects is crucial for promoting bone repair. In this study, to endow poly(amino acids) (PAA) and its composites with anti-oxidative stress properties and enhanced osteogenic differentiation, we designed and prepared a calcium sulfate/calcium hydrogen phosphate/poly(amino acids) (PCDM) composite material with a thioether structure (-S-) in the molecular chain of PAA matrix through situ polymerization and physical blending method.

Aims: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) exhibit an enormous potential to regenerate periodontal tissue. However, their translatability to the clinical setting is constrained by technical difficulties in standardizing culture conditions. The aim was to assess complex culture conditions using a proteomic-based protocol to standardize multi-layer hPDLSC cultivation methodology.

Objective: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with high morbidity and significant adverse effects. Increasing evidence supports the close relationship between oxidative stress and osteoporosis, suggesting that treatment with antioxidants may be a viable approach. This study evaluated the antioxidant properties of dichotomitin (DH) and its potential protective effects against osteoporosis.

Lateral Meningocele Syndrome (LMS), a disorder associated with NOTCH3 pathogenic variants, presents with neurological, craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. Mouse models of the disease exhibit osteopenia that is ameliorated by the administration of Notch3 antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting either Notch3 or the Notch3 mutation. To determine the consequences of LMS pathogenic variants in human cells and whether they can be targeted by ASOs, induced pluripotent NCRM1 and NCRM5 stem (iPS) cells harboring a NOTCH36692-93insC insertion were created.
