Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with the potential to differentiate into various lineages. They have also the potential to protect themselves against harmful stimuli to maintain their functional integrity. Drug resistance-related transporters such as ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein; P-gp), ABCC1 (MRP1; multidrug resistance-related Protein 1), and LRP (lung resistance protein) may protect MSCs against toxic substances such as chemotherapeutic agents.

Stem cells have been widely used to produce artificial bone grafts. Nonetheless, the variability in the degree of stem cell differentiation is an inherent drawback of artificial graft development and requires robust evaluation tools that can certify the quality of stem cell-based products and avoid source-tissue-related and patient-specific variability in outcomes. Omics analyses have been utilised for the evaluation of stem cell attributes in all stages of stem cell biomanufacturing.

Oxytocin (OXT) is a neurohypophysial nonapeptide that exerts its effects mainly through the oxytocin receptor (OXTR). Several studies have pointed out the role of OXT in the modulation of stem cell (SC) fate and properties. SCs are undifferentiated cells characterized by a remarkable ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types of the body.

Caloric restriction (CR), commonly used as both a lifestyle choice and medical strategy, has been shown to adversely impact appendicular bone mass. However, its influence on alveolar bone health and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, 8-week-old C57BL/6 J mice were fed with 30 % CR for 8 weeks.

Background: Compressive loading of bone causes hydrostatic pressure changes which have been proposed as an osteogenic differentiation stimulus for mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). We hypothesised that hMSCs are adapted to differentiate only in response to cyclic hydrostatic pressures above critical thresholds of magnitude and frequency which correspond to physiological levels of anabolic bone loading.
Methods: Using a pneumatic-hydrostatic bioreactor, we applied hydrostatic pressure regimes to human hMSCs in 3D collagen hydrogel cultures for 1 h/day over 28 days to determine which levels of pressure and frequency stimulated osteogenesis in vitro.
