Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes Promote Fracture Healing in a Mouse Model

Stem Cells Translational Medicine, 2016
Paracrine signaling by bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a major role in tissue repair. Although the production of regulatory cytokines by MSC transplantation is a critical modulator of tissue regeneration, we focused on exosomes ...

Adipokines and Associations with Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Purpose We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

The local and systemic effects of immune function on fracture healing

OTA International
. The immune system plays an integral role in the regulation of cellular processes responsible for fracture healing. Local and systemic influences on fracture healing correlate in many ways with fracture-related outcomes, including soft tissue healing ...

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Pharmacological inhibition of IL-6 trans-signaling improves compromised fracture healing after severe trauma

Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2018
Patients with multiple injuries frequently suffer bone fractures and are at high risk to develop fracture healing complications. Because of its key role both in systemic posttraumatic inflammation and fracture healing, the pleiotropic cytokine ...

Robocasting of a Water‐Based Biopolymer/WO3 Nanopowder Paste as a Precursor to Tungsten Carbide Lattices

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a novel, additive manufacturing approach to produce complex, porous tungsten carbide structures using water‐based direct ink writing/robocasting. Leveraging a modified commercial printer and heat treatment, the process yields lightweight, electrically conductive 3D architectures capable of supporting a mechanical load.

Finite element simulations of smart fracture plates capable of cyclic shortening and lengthening: which stroke for which fracture?

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Introduction: Bone healing can be improved by axial micromovement, as has been shown in animals and human patients with external fixators. In the development of smart fracture plates, the ideal amount of stroke for different fracture types in the ...

Fracture Healing Is Delayed in Immunodeficient NOD/scid‑IL2Rγcnull Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Following bone fracture, the repair process starts with an inflammatory reaction at the fracture site. Fracture healing is disturbed when the initial inflammation is increased or prolonged, whereby, a balanced inflammatory response is anticipated to be ...

Effect of Water Aging on the Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Carbon/Aramid Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the mechanical properties of Carbon/Aramid intraply hybrid fiber‐reinforced Elium composites under 6 months of water aging. After aging, flexural strength decreases by 25.89%, tensile strength by 4.40%, and fracture toughness by 21.56%.
