AI Article Synopsis

  • * Current treatments often use cytokines for promoting fracture healing, but they can trigger immune responses and are costly, resulting in less effective clinical outcomes.
  • * New research is focusing on tissue-induced biomaterials that promote bone regeneration through optimized scaffold structures, potentially improving tissue-engineered bones without the need for expensive cytokine additions.

Article Abstract

The number of patients with bone defects caused by various bone diseases is increasing yearly in the aging population, and people are paying increasing attention to bone tissue engineering research. Currently, the application of bone tissue engineering mainly focuses on promoting fracture healing by carrying cytokines. However, cytokines implanted into the body easily cause an immune response, and the cost is high; therefore, the clinical treatment effect is not outstanding. In recent years, some scholars have proposed the concept of tissue-induced biomaterials that can induce bone regeneration through a scaffold structure without adding cytokines. By optimizing the scaffold structure, the performance of tissue-engineered bone scaffolds is improved and the osteogenesis effect is promoted, which provides ideas for the design and improvement of tissue-engineered bones in the future. In this study, the current understanding of the bone tissue structure is summarized through the discussion of current bone tissue engineering, and the current research on micro-nano bionic structure scaffolds and their osteogenesis mechanism is analyzed and discussed.

Fracture Prevention with Infrequent Zoledronate in Women 50 to 60 Years of Age.

N Engl J Med

January 2025

From the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (M.J.B., Z.N., A.M., C.G., V.P., B.M., A.G., I.R.R., G.G., A.H.); the Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (C.G.); and the Department of Radiology, Starship Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand (S.B.).

Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.

Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.

Growth Factor Stimulation Regimes to Support the Development and Fusion of Cartilage Microtissues.

Tissue Eng Part C Methods

January 2025

Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Scaffold-free tissue engineering strategies using cellular aggregates, microtissues, or organoids as "biological building blocks" could potentially be used for the engineering of scaled-up articular cartilage or endochondral bone-forming grafts. Such approaches require large numbers of cells; however, little is known about how different chondrogenic growth factor stimulation regimes during cellular expansion and differentiation influence the capacity of cellular aggregates or microtissues to fuse and generate hyaline cartilage. In this study, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were additionally stimulated with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and/or transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 during both monolayer expansion and subsequent chondrogenic differentiation in a microtissue format.

Evaluation of radiation therapy on grafted and non-grafted defects: an experimental rat model.

J Appl Oral Sci

January 2025

Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Faculdade de Odontologia, Departamento de Periodontia e Implantodontia, Uberlândia, Brasil.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of a single-dose radiation therapy (15 Gy) on grafted and non-grafted defects, bone microarchitecture, and collagen maturity.

Methodology: Bone defects were surgically created in rat femurs. The right femur defect was filled with blood clot (group "Clot") and the left femur defect by deproteinized bovine bone mineral graft (group "Xenograft").

Purpose: The degenerative joint disease is a temporomandibular disorder. By analysing texture parameters, it becomes possible to characterize and differentiate various tissues, based on their textural properties according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study evaluated degenerative diseases in the temporomandibular joint through texture analysis.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the cartilage acetabular index and acetabular development and secondary dysplasia.

Methods: A total of 58 hips underwent intraoperative arthrography-guided open reduction or limited open reduction due to developmental hip dysplasia between 2011 and 2015 was included in the study. We evaluated patients with acetabular angle 8º as group 2.
