Osteocytes under Mechanical Loading Regulate PC‐3 Cancer Cell–Mineral Interactions during Early‐Stage Metastasis to Bone

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, Seaman et al. develop a co‐culture assay to examine interactions between prostate cancer cells and mineralized osteoblasts in a microfluidic platform. The authors collect conditioned media from static or flow‐stimulated osteocytes and demonstrate that mechanical loading of osteocytes regulates the growth of prostate cancer cells and ...

Osteogenic Effects of Ion Released from Biodegradable Metallic Magnesium and Calcium Coating

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
This study explores how magnesium–calcium coatings on titanium promote osteogenesis by releasing ions and elevating pH during degradation. Using osteoblast‐like cells, the research demonstrates that both ion release and pH changes contribute to cell proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization, offering new insights into the design of bioactive ...
