Molecules, 2021 Several signalling pathways, including the JAK/STAT signalling pathway, have been identified to regulate the differentiation of human bone marrow skeletal (mesenchymal) stem cells (hBMSCs) into bone-forming osteoblasts.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review outlines how understanding bone's biology, hierarchical architecture, and mechanical anisotropy informs the design of lattice structures that replicate bone morphology and mechanical behavior. Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of orthopedic implants that incorporate such structures using a range of engineering materials ...

Tumor Biology, 2017 Epithelial carcinomas occasionally have sarcomatous components that consist primarily of spindle and cuboidal cells, which often resemble osteoblasts. Sarcomatoid carcinomas consist of similar cells. Recent studies have characterized these phenomena as a

Effect of Low-magnitude, High-frequency Vibration on Osteocytes in the Regulation of Osteoclasts [PDF]
, 2010 Osteocytes are well evidenced to be the major mechanosensor in bone, responsible for sending signals to the effector cells (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) that carry out bone formation and resorption. Consistent with this hypothesis, it has been shown that

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents a novel 4D bioprinting platform for engineering biomimetic musculoskeletal grafts. By tuning the mechanical properties of support baths, we enhance tissue fusion, collagen alignment, and cell differentiation. Using this strategy, we successfully fabricate scaled‐up, anisotropic tissues such as meniscus, articular cartilage, and ...

Osteoblast ablation burns out functional stem cells [PDF]
Blood, 2015 In this issue of Blood, Bowers et al report that osteoblasts maintain a subset of quiescent stem cells and that osteoblast ablation converts bone marrow into a proliferation-promoting environment for both normal and malignant stem cells.

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.

Dexamethasone suppresses Smad3 pathway in osteoblastic cells [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2005 Central in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis is the effects of GC on bone formation. However, the mechanism of GC-inhibited bone formation is not well known. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is most abundant in bone matrix compared with other tissues, and we have recently proposed that Smad3, a TGF-β signaling molecule, is ...

Directing mesenchymal stem cells to bone to augment bone formation and increase bone mass. [PDF]
, 2012 Aging reduces the number of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that can differentiate into osteoblasts in the bone marrow, which leads to impairment of osteogenesis.

Ceramic identity contributes to mechanical properties and osteoblast behavior on macroporous composite scaffolds. [PDF]
, 2012 Implants formed of metals, bioceramics, or polymers may provide an alternative to autografts for treating large bone defects. However, limitations to each material motivate the examination of composites to capitalize on the beneficial aspects of ...
