Introduction: TP508 is a thrombin peptide that participates in the inflammatory response and wound healing. Its role in the molecular mechanism of distraction osteogenesis remains unclear. This study established a tibia distraction osteogenesis (DO) model in rats and investigated the role and mechanism of TP508 in bone regeneration during DO.
Method: Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were used to track osteogenesis. Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were performed to measure the expression of osteoblast-related factors, Wnt/β- catenin signaling-related proteins and genes. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of β-catenin in the cytoplasm and nucleus. TP508 accelerated bone regeneration increased the expression of the osteoblast-related factors Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and osteocalcin (OCN).
Results: After the Wnt signaling was inhibited by LGK974, the expression of osteoblast-related factors was downregulated, leading to a decrease in bone regeneration ability. More importantly, TP508 upregulated β-catenin and its target CYCLIN-D1 and could reverse the decreased osteogenic ability caused by LGK974.
Conclusion: In conclusion, TP508 promotes bone regeneration in DO by activating the Wnt/β- catenin signaling pathway.

Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from mesenchymal stem cells regulates antioxidant properties and bone metabolism by providing a favorable extracellular microenvironment. However, its functional role and molecular mechanism in mitochondrial function regulation and aged bone regeneration remain insufficiently elucidated. This proteomic analysis has revealed a greater abundance of proteins supporting mitochondrial function in the young ECM (Y-ECM) secreted by young bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) compared to the aged ECM (A-ECM).

Objectives: To compare the clinical effectiveness of a novel bioceramic (BC) with a control xenograft (BO) for guided bone regeneration (GBR) performed simultaneously with implant placement.
Materials And Methods: This clinical study enrolled patients with insufficient bone volume who required GBR during implant placement to increase bone width using either BC or BO. Outcome measures included a dimensional reduction in buccal bone thickness measured by cone beam computed tomography performed immediately post-surgery and at 6 months postoperatively (ΔHBBT), soft tissue healing at 14 days, 1 month, and 6 months postoperatively, and complications rates.

Facilitating neuronal differentiation of stem cells and microenvironment remodeling are the key challenges in cell-based transplantation strategies for central nervous system regeneration. Herein, the study harnesses the intrinsic pro-neural differentiation potential of nerve-derived extracellular matrix (NDEM) and its specific affinity for cytokines to develop an NDEM-gelatin methacryloyl(gelMA)-based bifunctional hydrogel delivery system for stem cells and cytokines. This system promotes the neural differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and optimizes the therapeutic index of Interleukin-4 (IL-4) for spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based bone tissue regeneration has gained significant attention due to the excellent differentiation capacity and immunomodulatory activity of MSCs. Enhancing osteogenesis regulation is crucial for improving the therapeutic efficacy of MSC-based regeneration. By utilizing the regenerative capacity of bone ECM and the functionality of nanoparticles, we recently engineered bone-based nanoparticles (BNPs) from decellularized porcine bones.

Impaired bladder compliance secondary to congenital or acquired bladder dysfunction can lead to irreversible kidney damage. This is managed with surgical augmentation utilizing intestinal tissue, which can cause stone formation, infections, and malignant transformation. Co-seeded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSPC) scaffolds (PRS) have been successful in regenerating bladder tissue.
