This study aimed to assess effects of 3-dimensionally (3D) printed poly-d,l-lactin (PDLLA) on human alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stem cell (h-ABMSC) osteogenic proliferation and differentiation. Human ABMSCs were cultured and identified using flow cytometry and morphological analysis. Control and PDLLA experimental groups were assessed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) to detect cellular cytotoxicity and proliferative activity. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to determine expression levels of osteogenesis genes including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN). The results showed that h-ABMSCs were successfully cultured and revealed by microscopic observation. Human ABMSCs were spindle-shaped, with clustered and fish-like primary cells. Cell surface markers were negative for CD34 and positive for CD44 and CD90. PDLLA had no cytotoxicity. Human ABMSCs proliferated normally, and osteogenic differentiation of the cells was observed on the surface of PDLLA. Cellular proliferative activity and expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes of PDLLA and control groups showed no significant difference, including ALP, Runx-2, OPN, and OCN. These results suggest that 3D-printed PDLLA has good cell compatibility and biological activity.

During the transition from embryonic to adult life, the sites of hematopoiesis undergo dynamic shifts across various tissues. In adults, although bone marrow (BM) becomes the primary site for definitive hematopoiesis, the establishment of the BM niche for accommodating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) remains incompletely understood. Here, we reveal that perinatal BM mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibit highly activated insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) signaling compared with adult BMSCs (aBMSCs).

This study investigated gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) blend scaffolds incorporating cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticles at concentrations of 0%, 5%, and 10% via electrospinning for periodontal tissue engineering. The impact of photocrosslinking on these scaffolds was evaluated by comparing crosslinked (C) and non-crosslinked (NC) versions. Methods included Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for fiber morphology/diameters, and assessments of swelling capacity, degradation profile, and biomechanical properties.

Objective: To fabricate and characterize an innovative gelatin methacryloyl/GelMA electrospun scaffold containing the citrus flavonoid naringenin/NA with osteogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Methods: GelMA scaffolds (15 % w/v) containing 0/Control, 5, 10, or 20 % of NA w/w were obtained via electrospinning. The chemical composition, fiber morphology/diameter, swelling/degradation profile, and NA release were investigated.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been identified as having potentially therapeutic immunomodulatory properties. MSCs isolated from different oral tissues have similar morphology and immunophenotypes, however, direct comparisons of their gene expression and immunomodulatory properties have not been conducted. We isolated alveolar bone-derived MSCs (aBMSCs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and gingiva-derived MSCs (GMSCs) from the same patients and compared their immunophenotypes and transcriptomes.

A continuing limitation and major challenge in the development and utilization of predictable stem cell therapies (SCTs) is the determination of the optimal dosages of stem cells. Herein, we report the quantification of stem cell fractions (SCF) of human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) preparations derived from oral tissues. A novel computational methodology, kinetic stem cell (KSC) counting, was used to quantify the SCF and specific cell culture kinetics of stem cells in oral alveolar bone-derived MSC (aBMSCs) from eight patients.
