MicroRNAs (miRNAs) broadly regulate normal biological functions of bone and the progression fracture healing osteoporosis. Recently, it has been reported that miR-1224-5p in plasma is a potential therapy for osteogenesis. To investigate roles Rap1 signaling pathway osteoporosis development progression, we used BMMs, BMSCs, skull osteoblast precursor cells vitro osteogenesis osteoclastogenesis studies. Osteoblastogenesis were detected by ALP, ARS, TRAP staining slice resorption pit assays....

Abstract The drug‐resistant bacterial‐infected skin wound is still a severe healthcare problem. Uncontrolled bacterial infection, abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, and prolonged inflammatory response are detrimental to healing. Moreover, excessive vessel growth can result in unsatisfactory scar formation. Herein, three‐step regenerative strategy based on bilayered gelatin/acryloyl β ‐cyclodextrin (BGACD) hydrogel containing physical host–guest complexations chemical crosslinks...
