Recombinant human midkine stimulates proliferation of articular chondrocytes [PDF]

Cell Proliferation, 2010
AbstractObjectives:  Midkine, a heparin‐binding growth factor, promotes population growth, survival and migration of several cell types, but its effect on articular chondrocytes remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate its role on proliferation of articular chondrocytes in vitro and in vivo.Materials and methods:  Bromodeoxyuridine ...

Controlled Release of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes from Hydrogels Attenuates Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Exosomes can reduce tissue damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), but rapid clearance limits their efficacy. This study encapsulates exosomes in hyaluronic acid hydrogels for controlled release. In a rat model, hydrogel‐encapsulated exosomes outperform free exosomes in preserving bone integrity and reducing tissue destruction ...

Thermoresponsive BrushGel Microcarriers for Efficient Cell Expansion and Enzyme‐Reduced Harvesting

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Askari et al, report on temperature‐responsive microcarriers to minimize enzyme use and cost in dynamic cultures. Abstract Scaling up cell therapy requires efficient expansion of high‐quality cells. Microcarrier(MC)‐based systems offer high surface‐to‐volume ratios and reduce culture media usage.

Osteopontin‐induced lncRNA HOTAIR expression is involved in osteoarthritis by regulating cell proliferation

BMC Geriatrics, 2021
Background Osteopontin plays critical roles in osteoarthritis (OA) by regulating the functions of osteoclasts. It is known that osteopontin can induce the expression of lncRNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), indicating the involvement of HOTAIR in

Conditioned Media from Mechanically Stimulated Macrophages Upregulate Osteogenic Genes in Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bone fracture healing is a complex, timely orchestrated scenario involving multiple cell types and a plethora of cytokines and regulatory factors. To gain further insight, an in vitro model to a) study macrophage polarization under mechanical load in a fibrin hydrogel and b) subsequently assess the effect of conditioned media derived from macrophages ...
