    Osteogenic and Adipogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Gelatin Solutions of Different Viscosities

    A biphasic gelatin solution/hydrogel system was used for 3D culture of human bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells to investigate the influence of gelatin solution viscosity on simultaneous osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation at the same culture condition.

    Abstract

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells‐Derived and siRNAs‐Encapsulated Exosomes Inhibit Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

    The authors explored the role of bone mesenchymal stem cells‐derived and siRNAs‐encapsulated exosomes in osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

    Promotion of the Immunomodulatory Properties and Osteogenic Differentiation of Adipose‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells In Vitro by Lentivirus‐Mediated miR‐146a Sponge Expression

    Investigators employed miRNA sponges that were forcibly expressed using a lentiviral vector to knock‐down the expression of miR‐146a in human adipose‐derived stem cells.

    Abstract

    Doxycycline Restores the Impaired Osteogenic Commitment of Diabetic-Derived Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells by Increasing the Canonical WNT Signaling

    Researchers aimed to address the modulatory capability and associated molecular signaling of a low dosage doxycycline – a semi-synthetic tetracycline, in the functional activity of osteoblastic progenitor cells, established from a translational diabetic experimental model.

    Abstract

    Relating Polymeric Microparticle Formulation to Prevalence or Distribution of Fibronectin and Poly-d-Lysine to Support Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth

    Using a colocalization analysis approach on ToF-SIMS images of protein-coated microparticles, the authors showed that the use of propyleneglycol over PVA as well as the substitution of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) by the triblock copolymer resulted in enhanced protein adsorption.

    Intraarticular Injection of Liposomal Adenosine Reduces Cartilage Damage in Established Murine and Rat Models of Osteoarthritis

    Scientists report that injection of liposomal suspensions of either adenosine or a selective A2AR agonist, CGS21680, significantly reduced osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage damage in a murine model of obesity-induced OA.

    Abstract

    The Combination of a Poly‐Caprolactone/Nano‐Hydroxyapatite Honeycomb Scaffold and Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Bone Regeneration in Rat Calvarial Defects

    The authors assessed the bone regeneration properties of a composite 3D honeycomb structure from the electrostatic template assisted deposition process by an alternate deposition of electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers and electrosprayed hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on a honeycomb micropatterned substrate.
