A simple and rapid method was established for the cultivation of bone cell tissue. Human bone tissue derived from orthopaedic surgery was cultivated in the presence of 14C-proline and beta-aminopropionitrile. De novo synthesized collagen was extracted from the tissue and quantified by determination of radioactivity in the purified protein. Measurements of the oxygen consumption of the tissue provided evidence that the physiological conditions for the tissue were optimal. The tissue was vital over a period of as long as 7 days, showing normal respiration and a constant rate of collagen synthesis. The observed levels of alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activity clearly demonstrated that mainly osteoblasts were involved in metabolic activity. The described system is suitable for investigations of bone cell metabolism under quasiphysiological conditions.

Radiological accidents/incidents are common with nearly 400 reported since 1944 exposing about 3000 people to substantial doses of ionizing radiations with 127 deaths. Damage to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with resulting bone marrow failure is a common consequence of exposure to whole body acute high-dose and -dose-rate ionizing radiations and is termed hematopoietic-acute radiation syndrome, or H-ARS. Therapy of H-ARS includes transfusions, anti-bacterial and -viral drugs, molecularly-cloned hematopoietic growth factors and hematopoietic cell transplants.

Objectives: Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common malocclusion frequently observed in orthodontic clinics. Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) not only produces greater skeletal expansion but also offers advantages such as simple miniscrew implantation without flap elevation, enhanced patient comfort, and an expanded age range and indications for palatal expansion. However, the fixed connection between the expander and the miniscrews makes the expander difficult to remove, significantly hindering its clinical application.

Objectives: The ultimate goal of stem cell (SC) transplantation is the regeneration of salivary gland function by transplanted SCs differentiating into salivary gland cells. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the regenerative capacity of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) transplantation in irradiated mice using the immunohistochemical markers Ki-67 and CD34.
Material And Methods: Four groups of male mice were included in the study.

Objective: Regenerative periodontal surgical approaches require scaffolds in a form that can fill narrow and irregular defects. Each scaffold must be specially designed to conform to the shape of the specific defect. The aim of this study was to fabricate nanohydroxyapatite chitosan-gelatin (nHA/KG) pastes with different composition percentages and to analyze the differences in physical, chemical, and biological characteristics in response to periodontal tissue regeneration .

Hydrogel, as the most suitable bio-scaffold material for simulating extracellular matrix, can be used to study the influence of material mechanical properties on cell behavior under 3D conditions. Mechanical stimulation plays an important role in cartilage differentiation, especially for the mechanosensitive cell-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Currently, TRPV4 and Cav1.
