Background/purpose: Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are an emerging source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for bone tissue regeneration and engineering. In bone regeneration using transplanted MSCs, the extracellular environment or co-injected drugs can affect their success or failure. In this study, we investigated the effects and signaling mechanisms of lidocaine on osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs after inducing inflammatory conditions with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).
Materials And Methods: To investigate the effect of lidocaine on the osteogenic differentiation of LPS/TNF-α-treated hDPSCs, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin red S (ARS) staining were conducted. The expression of osteogenesis-related genes was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. The expression of mitogen-activated protein kinases was analyzed to evaluate the effect of lidocaine on osteogenic differentiation of LPS/TNF-α-treated hDPSCs.
Results: Various concentrations of lidocaine (0.05, 0.2, and 1 mM) further decreased ALP and ARS staining of LPS/TNF-α-treated hDPSCs. Similarly, the mRNA and protein expression of osteogenesis-related genes was suppressed via lidocaine treatment in LPS/TNF-α-treated hDPSCs. Lidocaine treatment downregulated the protein expression of p-ERK and p-JNK in LPS/TNF-α-treated hDPSCs.
Conclusion: Lidocaine intensified the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation on inflammation-induced hDPSCs by inhibiting the ERK and JNK signaling pathways. This in vitro study suggested that lidocaine may have an inhibitory effect on bone regeneration.

Bioactive ceramics have been used in bone tissue repair and regeneration. However, because of the complex in vivo osteogenesis process, long cycle, and difficulty of accurately tracking, the mechanism of interaction between materials and cells has yet to be fully understood, hindering its development. The ceramic microbridge microfluidic chip system may solve the problem and provide an in vitro method to simulate the microenvironment in vivo.

Angiogenesis is imperative for bone regeneration, yet the conventional cytokine therapies have been constrained by prohibitive costs and safety apprehensions. It is urgent to develop a safer and more efficient therapeutic alternative. Herein, utilizing the methodologies of Deep Learning (DL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), we proposed a paradigm algorithm that amalgamates with a variant, , to deftly discern potential pro-angiogenic peptides from intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of 262 related proteins, where are fertile grounds for developing safer and highly promising bioactive peptides.

Background: The gold standard of care for patients with severe peripheral nerve injury is autologous nerve grafting; however, autologous nerve grafts are usually limited for patients because of the limited number of autologous nerve sources and the loss of neurosensory sensation in the donor area, whereas allogeneic or xenografts are even more limited by immune rejection. Tissue-engineered peripheral nerve scaffolds, with the morphology and structure of natural nerves and complex biological signals, hold the most promise as ideal peripheral nerve "replacements".
Aim: To prepare allogenic peripheral nerve scaffolds using a low-toxicity decellularization method, and use human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) as seed cells to cultivate scaffold-cell complexes for the repair of injured peripheral nerves.

Mammalian reproduction requires that nursing mothers transfer large amounts of calcium to their offspring through milk. Meeting this demand requires the activation of a brain-breast-bone circuit during lactation that coordinates changes in systemic hormones, dietary calcium intake, skeletal turnover, and calcium transport into milk. Classically, increased bone resorption via increased parathyroid hormone-related protein and low estrogen levels is the main source of calcium for milk production during lactation.
