Predicting Angiogenesis by Endothelial Progenitor Cells Relying on In-Vitro Function Assays and VEGFR-2 Expression Levels

Biomolecules, 2019
Clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of autologous endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) therapy in various diseases. Since EPCs’ functions are influenced by genetic, systemic and environmental factors, the therapeutic potential of

HDAC4 mutant represses chondrocyte hypertrophy by locating in the nucleus and attenuates disease progression of posttraumatic osteoarthritis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate whether histone deacetylase 4 S246/467/632A mutant (m-HDAC4) has enhanced function at histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) to attenuate cartilage degeneration in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA).

α2-macroglobulin-rich serum as a master inhibitor of inflammatory factors attenuates cartilage degeneration in a mini pig model of osteoarthritis induced by “idealized” anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is a special type of osteoarthritis and a common disease, with few effective treatments available. α2-Macroglobulin (α2M) is important to chondral protection in post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Effect of Moderate Exercise on the Superficial Zone of Articular Cartilage in Age-Related Osteoarthritis

Diagnostics, 2023
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise on the superficial zone of the osteoarticular cartilage during osteoarthritis progression. Three-month-old, nine-month-old, and eighteen-month-old Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into two ...

Bone repair and stem cells [PDF]

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016
Bones are an important component of vertebrates; they grow explosively in early life and maintain their strength throughout life. Bones also possess amazing capabilities to repair-the bone is like new without a scar after complete repair. In recent years, a substantial progress has been made in our understanding on mammalian bone stem cells.

Bardoxolone methyl ameliorates osteoarthritis by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and protecting the extracellular matrix against degradation

Heliyon, 2023
Inflammation and oxidative damage are closely related to the development of osteoarthritis. Bardoxolone methyl (CDDO-Me), a semisynthetic oleanane triterpenoid, plays a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant role.

Combination of chondrocytes and chondrons improves extracellular matrix production to promote the repairs of defective knee cartilage in rabbits

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2021
Background: Chondrons are composed of chondrocytes and the surrounding pericellular matrix (PCM) and function to enhance chondrocyte-mediated cartilage tissue engineering.

The genetic profile of bone repair [PDF]

CLINICAL CASES IN MINERAL AND BONE METABOLISM, 2013
Bone repair following a fracture is a complex, well orchestrated, physiological process in response to injury. Even though the exact number of the genes and expressed proteins involved in fracture healing remains unknown, the molecular complexity of the repair process has been demonstrated, and it involves numerous genes and molecules, such as ...
