A comparative in vitro and in vivo analysis of the impact of copper substitution on the cytocompatibility, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties of a borosilicate bioactive glass
J Biomed Mater Res A. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.37721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 0106-B1-bioactive glass (BG) composition (in wt %: 37.5 SiO2, 22.6 CaO, 5.9 Na2O, 4.0 P2O5, 12.0 K2O, 5.5 MgO, and 12.5 B2O3) has demonstrated favorable processing properties and promising bone regeneration potential. The present study aimed to evaluate the biological effects of the incorporation of highly pro-angiogenic copper (Cu) in 0106-B1-BG in vitro using human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) as well as its in vivo potential for bone regeneration. CuO was added to 0106-B1-BG in exchange for CaO, result...

Collagen-polyurethane-dextran hydrogels enhance wound healing by inhibiting inflammation and promoting collagen fibrillogenesis
J Biomed Mater Res A. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.37724. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetic foot ulcers are a serious complication of uncontrolled diabetes, emphasizing the need to develop wound healing strategies that are not only effective but also biocompatible, biodegradable, and safe. We aimed to create biomatrices composed of semi-interpenetrated polymer networks of collagen, polyurethane, and dextran, to enhance the wound healing process. The hydrogels were extensively characterized by various analytical techniques, including analysis of their structure, crystallinity, thermal properties, gelation process, r...

Methicillin-Resistant < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em > Carriage among Neonate Mothers, Healthcare Workers, and Environmental Samples in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: With a significant heterogeneity, our systematic review found high MRSA carriage rates in neonate mothers, healthcare workers, and across various environmental surfaces in NICUs, posing a potential risk of nosocomial infections. Urgent interventions, including regular screening and decolonization of MRSA carriers, reinforcing infection control measures, and enhancing cleaning and disinfection procedures within NICUs, are crucial. This trial is registered with CRD42023407114.PMID:38623471 | PMC:PMC11018372 | DOI:10.1155/2024/5675786 (Source: Biomed Res)

In vitro evaluation of bone cell response to novel 3D-printable nanocomposite biomaterials for bone reconstruction
J Biomed Mater Res A. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.37719. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCritically-sized segmental bone defects represent significant challenges requiring grafts for reconstruction. 3D-printed synthetic bone grafts are viable alternatives to structural allografts if engineered to provide appropriate mechanical performance and osteoblast/osteoclast cell responses. Novel 3D-printable nanocomposites containing acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) or methacrylated AESO (mAESO), polyethylene glycol diacrylate, and nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) were produced using masked stereolithography. The effects of volume ...

Identification of Novel Molecular and Clinical Biomarkers of Survival in Glioblastoma Multiforme Patients: A Study Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas Data
This study is aimed at investigating the genetic alterations and clinical features of GBM patients to find predictors of survival. GBM patients' methylation and gene expression data along with clinical information from TCGA were retrieved. The most overrepresented pathways were identified independently for each omics dataset. From the genes found in at least 30% of these pathways, one gene that was identified in both sets was further examined using the Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis. Additionally, three groups of patients who started radio and chemotherapy at different times were identified, and the influence of...

Effect of radiation cross-linked collagen scaffold in alveolar ridge preservation of extraction socket
This study aimed to evaluate the properties of radiation cross-linked collagen scaffold (RCS) and its efficacy for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). RCS was prepared from collagen dispersion by electron beam irradiation and freeze-drying. The microstructure, swelling ratio, area alteration and mechanical properties of RCS were characterized. Fifty-four New Zealand rabbits performing incisor extraction on maxilla and mandible were randomly assigned into positive, sham operation or treatment groups. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans, performed after 1, 4, and 12 weeks of surgery, were to assess changes in ridge hei...

Synthetic strategy for the production of electrically polarized polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-co-polymer osseo-functionalized with hydroxyapatite scaffold
J Biomed Mater Res A. 2024 Apr 10. doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.37720. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe physiological mechanism of bone tissue regeneration is intricately organized and involves several cell types, intracellular, and extracellular molecular signaling networks. To overcome the drawbacks of autografts and allografts, a number of synthetically produced scaffolds have been manufactured by integrating ceramics, polymers, and their hybrid-composites. Considering the fact that natural bone is composed primarily of collagen and hydroxyapatite, ceramic-polymer composite materials seem to be the most viable alternative to bon...
