A perfusion culture system for assessing bone marrow stromal cell differentiation on PLGA scaffolds for bone repair [PDF]
Biomaterials development for bone repair is currently hindered by the lack of physiologically relevant in vitro testing systems. Here we describe the novel use of a bi-directional perfusion bioreactor to support the long term culture of human bone marrow

Differentiated osteoblasts derived decellularized extracellular matrix to promote osteogenic differentiation [PDF]
Abstract Background The extracellular matrix (ECM) can directly or indirectly influence on regulation of cell functions such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation. The cell derived ECM (CD-ECM) is a useful in vitro model for studying the comprehensive functions of CD-ECM because it maintains a

A potential role for Dkk-1 in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma predicts novel diagnostic and treatment strategies. [PDF]
Canonical Wnt signaling is an osteo-inductive signal that promotes bone repair through acceleration of osteogenic differentiation by progenitors. Dkk-1 is a secreted inhibitor of canonical Wnt signaling and thus inhibits osteogenesis.

Mineralized Peptide Nanofiber Gels for Enhanced Osteogenic Differentiation [PDF]
AbstractMineral deposition is observed in both bacterial and eukaryotic organisms through a broad range of mechanisms. Both organic and inorganic components play crucial roles in the formation of mineralized tissues, and acidic proteins are particularly important in this context owing to their ability to stimulate nucleation of minerals.

Is NO the Answer? The Nitric Oxide Pathway Can Support Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Mediated Signaling [PDF]
The growth factor bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) plays an important role in bone development and repair. Despite the positive effects of BMP2 in fracture healing, its use is associated with negative side effects and poor cost effectiveness, partly ...

Multi-Parameter Analysis of Biobanked Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Shows Little Influence for Donor Age and Mild Comorbidities on Phenotypic and Functional Properties [PDF]
Heterogeneous populations of human bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSC) are among the most frequently tested cellular therapeutics for treating degenerative and immune disorders, which occur predominantly in the aging population.

Irisin enhances osteogenic differentiation of mouse MC3T3‑E1 cells via upregulating osteogenic genes
Osteoporosis affects millions of individuals and remains a clinical challenge in terms of prevention and treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of irisin on osteogenic differentiation by exposing MC3T3-E1 cells to different concentrations of irisin.
