Investigation of Force Decay in Aesthetic, Fibre-Reinforced Composite Orthodontic Archwires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background/Objectives: Because polymer-based materials typically exhibit viscoelastic properties, the objective was to determine if commercially available, aesthetic, fibre-reinforced composite archwires maintain continuous forces without undergoing ...

Human Bone‐Derived Endothelial Cells Mediate Bone Regeneration via Distinct Expression of KIT Ligand

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bone‐specific endothelial cells (b‐ECs) uniquely express KITLG, which recruits c‐Kit+/CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors (HPCs) to the osteovascular niche, initiating a cascade that culminates in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm‐MSCs) and subsequent ossification.

Using Networks To Understand Medical Data: The Case of Class III Malocclusions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A system of elements that interact or regulate each other can be represented by a mathematical object called a network. While network analysis has been successfully applied to high-throughput biological systems, less has been done regarding their ...

Eosinophils‐Induced Lumican Secretion by Synovial Fibroblasts Alleviates Cartilage Degradation via the TGF‐β Pathway Mediated by Anxa1 Binding

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.

M2 Macrophage‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Reprogram Immature Neutrophils into Anxa1hi Neutrophils to Enhance Inflamed Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that M2‐EVs mitigate periodontitis‐induced bone resorption by modulating neutrophil fate. Single‐cell RNA sequencing identified an Anxa1hi neutrophil subpopulation with pro‐reparative properties. M2‐EVs disrupt neutrophil maturation, promoting this subpopulation through key reprogramming genes (Acvrl1, Fpr2). These findings highlight

Salivary inflammatory biomarkers during initial orthodontic tooth movement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex process involving a number of inflammatory and anabolic/catabolic pathways. Further, successful treatment depends on proper timing of orthodontic measures with regard to patient’s growth spurt ...

Lysosome‐Featured Cell Aggregate‐Released Extracellular Vesicles Regulate Iron Homeostasis and Alleviate Post‐Irradiation Endothelial Ferroptosis for Mandibular Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lysosomal redistribution occurs via extracellular vesicles in multi‐stem cell aggregates and controls iron homeostasis for safeguarding cell aggregation. These cell aggregate‐released extracellular vesicles (CA‐EVs) rescue lysosomal impairments and exert anti‐ferroptosis effects in recipient irradiated endothelial cells.
