Alveolar bone defects have always been an urgent problem in the oral cavity. For some patients with periodontal disease or undergoing orthodontic treatment or implant restoration, alveolar bone defects can greatly inconvenience clinical diagnosis and treatment. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are considered a promising source for stem cell therapy due to their high osteogenic differentiation capability. The osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs is influenced by various cytokines mediating signaling pathways, as well as a range of biochemical, physical, and chemical factors. Different environments typically impact the Wnt signaling pathway and consequently affect the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Understanding the effects of the Wnt signaling pathway on the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells in various environments contributes to addressing the diverse clinical scenarios encountered in the oral environment. This knowledge aids in influencing the pathway through bioengineering or the development of novel materials, thereby enhancing the osteogenic potential of stem cells and providing new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for clinical practice.

The rapid and efficient bone regeneration is still in unsatisfactory outcomes, demonstrating alternative strategy and molecular mechanism is necessary. Nanoscale biomaterials have shown some promising results in enhancing bone regeneration, however, the detailed interaction mechanism between nanomaterial and cells/tissue formation is not clear. Herein, a molecular-based inorganic-organic nanomaterial poly(citrate-siloxane) (PCS) is reported which can rapidly enhance osteogenic differentiation and bone formation through a special interaction with the cellular surface communication network factor 3 (CCN3), further activating the Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Background: Vascular calcification is a detrimental aging pathology markedly accelerated in patients with chronic kidney disease. Prelamin A is a biomarker of vascular smooth muscle cell aging that accelerates calcification however the mechanisms remain undefined.

Methods: Vascular smooth muscle cells were transduced with prelamin A using an adenoviral vector and epigenetic modifications were monitored using immunofluorescence and targeted polymerase chain reaction array.

Introduction: Bone aging is linked to changes in the lineage differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), which show a heightened tendency to differentiate into adipocytes instead of osteoblasts. The therapeutic potential of irisin in addressing age-related diseases has garnered significant attention. More significantly, irisin has the capacity to enhance bone mass recovery and sustain overall bone health.

Background: Given the risks associated with autologous bone transplantation and the limitations of allogeneic bone transplantation, scaffolds in bone tissue engineering that incorporate bioactive peptides are highly recommended. Teriparatide (TPTD) plays a significant role in bone defect repair, although achieving controlled release of TPTD within a bone tissue engineering scaffold remains challenging. This work reports a new approach for treatment of teriparatide using a water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) microspheres be equipped on gelatin (GEL)/Poly lactic-glycolic acid (PLGA)/attapulgite (ATP) scaffold.

Osteoporotic bone regeneration is challenging due to impaired bone formation. Tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDN), promising nucleic acid nanomaterials, have garnered attention for their potential in osteoporotic mandibular regeneration owing to their ability to enhance cellular activity and promote osteogenic differentiation. Osteoblasts play a critical role in bone regeneration; however, intracellular delivery of TDN into osteoblasts remains difficult.
