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 ...

Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1469-1473, April 2025.
Abstract Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression. However, it remains poorly understood how it mechanistically contributes to valvular calcification.

\u3cem\u3eIn vitro\u3c/em\u3e Effect of Graphene Structures as an Osteoinductive Factor in Bone Tissue Engineering: A Systematic Review [PDF]

, 2018
Graphene and its derivatives have been well‐known as influential factors in differentiating stem/progenitor cells toward the osteoblastic lineage. However, there have been many controversies in the literature regarding the parameters effect on bone ...

Primary osteoblast-like cells from patients with end-stage kidney disease reflect gene expression, proliferation, and mineralization characteristics ex vivo. [PDF]

, 2015
Osteocytes regulate bone turnover and mineralization in chronic kidney disease. As osteocytes are derived from osteoblasts, alterations in osteoblast function may regulate osteoblast maturation, osteocytic transition, bone turnover, and skeletal ...

Canonical Wnt Signaling in Differentiated Osteoblasts Controls Osteoclast Differentiation

Developmental Cell, 2005
Inactivation of beta-catenin in mesenchymal progenitors prevents osteoblast differentiation; inactivation of Lrp5, a gene encoding a likely Wnt coreceptor, results in low bone mass (osteopenia) by decreasing bone formation. These observations indicate that Wnt signaling controls osteoblast differentiation and suggest that it may regulate bone formation

Apelin attenuates the osteoblastic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Vascular calcification, which results from a process osteoblastic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Genome‐wide association study of periodontitis severity and progression

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To add to the knowledge base of periodontal genomics, we carried out a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of periodontitis severity and progression among 416 mixed‐ethnicity adult participants of a periodontitis clinical study. Methods Participants were 168 adults (mean age = 50 years, 46% males) with severe periodontitis and 248 ...
