Abstract Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is characterized by decreased osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and increased adipogenesis. While bone tissue engineering has been widely investigated to treat ONFH, its therapeutic effects remain unsatisfactory. Therefore, further studies are required determine optimal angiogenesis adipogenesis in necrotic area head. In our study, we developed a carboxymethyl chitosan/alginate/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell/endothelial...

Abstract Peripheral blood mesenchymal stem cells (PBMSCs) may be easily harvested from patients, permitting autologous grafts for bone tissue engineering in the future. However, PBMSC’s capabilities of survival, osteogenesis and production new matrix defect area are still unclear. Herein, PBMSCs were seeded into a nanofiber scaffold self-assembling peptide (SAP) cultured osteogenic medium. The results indicated SAP can serve as promising survival differentiation 3D conditions. Furthermore,...

Abstract Background Silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6) is a mammalian homolog of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase sirtuin family. Prior evidences suggested that anti-inflammatory function SIRT6 after spinal cord and brain injury, it plays crucial role in macrophages polarization adipose tissue skin. However, involved peripheral nerve injury still unknown. Given prominent recovery, we aim to investigate regulation phenotypes shift functions injury. Results...

Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum (LF) is one key pathomechanisms lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 abundantly expressed in hypertrophied degenerative LF tissues from LSS. However, molecular mechanisms underling association between TGF-β1 and hypertrophy have not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated important role mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway pathogenesis LSS by analyzing expression connective tissue (CTGF)...

Purpose: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded on biocompatible scaffolds have therapeutic potential for bone defect repair. However, MSCs can be affected by hypoxia and nutritional deficiency due to a lack of blood vessels in the scaffolds. Here, we explored effects MSC differentiation clarify these mechanisms.

The repair of large bone defects remains a challenging problem in tissue engineering. Ischemia and hypoxia the defect area make it difficult for seed cells to survive differentiate, which fail perform effective regeneration. Current oxygen-producing materials frequently encounter problems such as rapid degradation rate, insufficient mechanical properties, molding, cumbersome fabrication. Here, novel three-dimensional (3D) printed integrated bionic oxygenated scaffold was fabricated with...

The combination of three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffold materials and various cytokines can achieve the purpose tissue reconstruction more efficiently. In this study, we prepared platelet-rich plasma (PRP)/gelatin microspheres combined with 3D polycaprolactone/β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds to solve key problem that PRP cannot be released under control release time is too short, thus better promote bone repair. Consequently, composite displayed a good mechanical property sustained...
