Strontium-releasing mesoporous bioactive glasses with anti-adhesive zwitterionic surface as advanced biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration [PDF]
Hypothesis The treatment of bone fractures still represents a challenging clinical issue when complications due to impaired bone remodelling (i.e. osteoporosis) or infections occur. These clinical needs still require a radical improvement of the existing therapeutic approach through the design of advanced biomaterials combining the ability to promote ...

Background The incidence of diabetic osteoporosis is increasing. This article evaluates the effect of combination treatment with the hypoglycemic drug exendin-4 (Ex-4) and the vitamin D analog eldecalcitol (ED-71) on improving diabetic osteoporosis and ...

Background: Aging and oxidative stress are considered to be the proximal culprits of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Eldecalcitol (ED-71), a new active vitamin D derivative, has shown a good therapeutic effect on different types of osteoporosis, but the ...

3D scaffold with effective multidrug sequential release against bacteria biofilm [PDF]
Bone infection is a feared complication following surgery or trauma that remains as an extremely difficult disease to deal with. So far, the outcome of therapy could be improved with the design of 3D implants, which combine the merits of osseous regeneration and local multidrug therapy so as to avoid bacterial growth, drug resistance and the feared ...

The blood-tendon barrier: identification and characterisation of a novel tissue barrier in tendon blood vessels [PDF]
Tissue barriers function as “gate keepers” between different compartments (usually blood and tissue) and are formed by specialised membrane-associated proteins, localising to the apicolateral plasma membrane domain of epithelial and endothelial cells. By

Hierarchical porosity ihnerited by natural sources affects the mechanical and biological behaviour of bone scaffolds [PDF]
A 3-D porous apatite scaffold (B-HA), recently obtained through biomorphic transformation of a natural wood, is investigated on its multi-scale porous structure determining superior mechanical properties and biological behaviour. B-HA shows hierarchical pore architecture with wide aligned channels interconnected with smaller tubules, thus ...

Tenophages: a novel macrophage-like tendon cell population expressing CX3CL1 and CX3CR1
Tendon disorders frequently occur and recent evidence has clearly implicated the presence of immune cells and inflammatory events during early tendinopathy. However, the origin and properties of these cells remain poorly defined.

Tendinopathy is accompanied by a cascade of inflammatory events promoting tendon degeneration. Among various cytokines, interleukin-1β plays a central role in driving catabolic processes, ultimately resulting in the activation of matrix ...
