Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.xx xx. ABSTRACT Osseointegration of orthopedic and dental implants is influenced by local and systemic factors, including their physicochemical surface properties and the patient's overall health status. Titanium and its alloys have been a longstanding standard for bone implants due to their innate biocompatibility and mechanical properties.

Aging Impairs IGF-I Receptor Activation and Induces Skeletal Resistance to IGF-I
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2007 Abstract IGF-I plays an important anabolic role in stimulating bone formation and maintaining bone mass. We show that the pro-proliferative, anti-apoptotic, and functional responses to IGF-I in bone and BMSCs decrease with aging. These changes are associated with impaired receptor activation and signal transduction through the MAPK and ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

The Scientific World Journal, 2006 Apart from regulating somatic growth and metabolic processes, accumulating evidence suggests that the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis is involved in the regulation of brain growth, development, and myelination.

Radioimmunoassay for insulin-like growth factor I(IGF-I) using biosynthetic IGF-I.
Endocrinologia Japonica, 1986 We produced antiserum to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and developed a specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) for IGF-I using the biosynthetic IGF-I. This antiserum to IGF-I was specific for IGF-I; no cross-reactivities with multiplication stimulating activity, porcine insulin or human growth hormone (hGH) were detected.

Insulin-like Growth Factors Regulate Neuronal Differentiation and Survival
Neurobiology of Disease, 1997 Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-II are potent trophic factors for motor and sensory neurons and glial cells. The actions of IGF-I and IGF-II are mediated via the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR).

Humanin: Functional Interfaces with IGF-I [PDF]
Growth Hormone & IGF Research, 2016 Humanin is the first newly discovered peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome in over three decades. It is the first member of a novel class of mitochondrial derived peptides. This small, 24 amino acid peptide was initially discovered to have neuroprotective effects and subsequent experiments have shown that it is beneficial in a diverse number of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study revealed how the osteoblastic microenvironment determines the fate of cancer cells disseminated in bone, with a focus on whether they colonize, reside in quiescence, or reactivate from dormancy. Targeting integrin signaling may offer promising strategies for preventing quiescent cancer cells reactivation and bone colonization.
