Published: June 2023

In vivo imaging enables the detection and visualization of many different processes occurring within the body. Fatty acid uptake is a fundamental cellular process which is essential for the use of free fatty acids (FFAs) as a fuel source for metabolism. Detection and visualization of in vivo FFA uptake in the bone marrow has been relatively unknown. Here, we describe the process of non-invasive bioluminescent imaging of in vivo FFA uptake within the bone marrow.

Immune-mediated bone regeneration driven by bone biomaterials offers a therapeutic strategy for repairing bone defects. Among 2D nanomaterials, TiCT MXenes have garnered substantial attention for their potential in tissue regeneration. This investigation concentrates on the role of MXene nanocomposites in modulating the immune microenvironment within bone defects to facilitate bone tissue restoration.

Bone marrow stimulation treatment by bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) released from the bone medullary cavity and differentiated into cartilage via microfracture surgery is a frequently employed technique for treating articular cartilage injuries, yet the treatment presents a main drawback of poor cartilage regeneration in the elderly. Prior research indicated that aging could decrease the stemness capacity of BMSCs, thus we made a hypothesis that increasing old BMSCs (OBMSCs) stemness might improve the results of microfracture in the elderly. First, we investigated the correlation between microfracture outcomes and BMSCs stemness using clinical data and animal experiments.

Unlabelled: Cartilage and joint damage can lead to cartilage degeneration. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the potential to address cartilage damage. Hence, this study probed the mechanism of BMSC-extracellular matrix (BMSC-ECM) in promoting damaged chondrocyte repair by regulating the Notch1/RBPJ pathway.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) disorder characterized by persistent thrombocytosis and characterized by frequent association with cellular genetic alterations. The 10%-15% of ET that is not associated with genetic abnormalities is known as triple-negative essential thrombocythemia (TNET). A common complication observed in around 20% of ET patients is the development of acquired von Willebrand disease (AvWD).

Background: The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a crucial and challenging entity in bone marrow transplantation candidates. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score for the diagnosis of CRS in bone marrow transplantation candidates.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a single-center, observational study evaluating bone marrow transplantation candidates by paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) scan without contrast to measure the Lund Mackay score.
