ABSTRACT Emerging evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in regulating osteoblastogenesis and bone formation. However, the role of miRNA osteoblast mechanotransduction remains to be defined. In this study, we aimed investigate whether miRNAs regulate mechanical stimulation–triggered differentiation formation through modulation Runx2, master transcription factor for osteogenesis. We first investigated loading both a mouse model an culture system outcomes clearly...

Crosstalk between nerves and bone is essential for repair, which Schwann cells (SCs) are crucial in the regulation of microenvironment. Considering that exosomes critical paracrine mediators intercellular communication exert important effects tissue aim this study to confirm function molecular mechanisms cell-derived (SC-exos) on regeneration propose engineered constructs simulate SC-mediated nerve–bone crosstalk. SCs promoted proliferation differentiation marrow mesenchymal stem (BMSCs)...

Osteoblasts are essential for maintaining skeletal architecture and modulating bone microenvironment homeostasis. From numerous associated investigations, the BMP-2 pathway has been well-defined as a vital positive modulator of Gremlin2 (Grem2) is morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. However, effect Grem2 on BMP-2-induced osteogenesis human marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) remains ambiguous. This study aimed to analyze procedure in vitro vivo. The differentiation hBMSCs was...

Increasing evidence suggests that chronic stress increases pain sensitivity and exacerbates existing pain. However, whether how unpredictable (CUS) affects surgical is unclear.A postsurgical model was performed by longitudinal incision from 0.3 cm of the proximal edge heel toward toes. The skin sutured, wound site covered. Sham surgery groups underwent same procedure without an incision. short-term CUS conducted exposure mice to 2 different stressors each day for 7 days. behavior tests were...

Abstract Aseptic loosening is mainly caused by wear debris generated friction that can increase the expression of receptor activation nuclear factor (NF)-κB (RANKL). RANKL has been shown to support differentiation and maturation osteoclasts. Although autophagy a key metabolic pathway for maintaining homeostasis cells, no study determined whether induced Al 2 O 3 particles involved in pathogenesis aseptic loosening. The aim this was evaluate levels patients experiencing after total hip...
