TiOnanotubes (TNTs) significantly promote osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration of cells. Nevertheless, the biological processes by which they promote osteogenesis are currently poorly understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential for controlling osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Epigenetic chromatin modification is one of the pathways in which lncRNAs regulate osteogenic differentiation. Here, we reported that TNTs could upregulate lncRNA, and inhibition of lncRNAin human BMSCs (hBMSCs) grown on TNTs could decrease runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, and osteocalcin (OCN) expression. Furthermore, we discovered that inhibiting lncRNAelevated the expression of lncRNA, and lncRNAknockdown promoted osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs. RNA immunoprecipitation experiments showed that lncRNAcould interact with EZH2 to induce H3K27 methylation in the promoter regions of RUNX2 and OCN, suppressing gene expression epigenetically. According to these results, lncRNAis upregulated by TNTs to promote osteogenic differentiation through/EZH2-mediated epigenetic modifications.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals. There's still no satisfactory solution for tooth loss caused by periodontal diseases. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) is a distinctive subgroup of mesenchymal stem cells, which play a crucial role in periodontal supportive tissues, but their application value hasn't been fully explored yet.

In situ bone regeneration and vertical bone augmentation have been huge problems in clinical practice, always imposing a significant economic burden and causing patient suffering. Herein, MgZnYNd magnesium alloy rod implantation in mouse femur resulted in substantial subperiosteal new bone formation, with osteoimmunomodulation playing a pivotal role. Abundant macrophages were attracted to the subperiosteal new bone region and proved to be the most important regulation cells for bone regeneration.

Phytochemicals, which are bioactive compounds contained in fruits, vegetables, and teas, have a positive effect on human health by having anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticarcinogenic effects. Several studies have highlighted the ability of bioactive compounds to activate key cellular enzymes associated with important signaling pathways related to cell division and proliferation, as well as their role in inflammatory and immunological responses. Some phytochemicals are associated with increased proliferation, differentiation, and expression of markers related to osteogenesis, bone formation, and mineralization by activating various signaling pathways.

The leaves of have been used in treating freckles and effectively reducing cough and sputum in folk medicines. Recently, investigations into the correlation between ginkgo leaves and the proliferative activity of osteogenic differentiation have been conducted. However, bioactive compounds that enhance osteogenesis or exhibit osteoporosis prevention from have not been fully identified.
