Phenotypic characteristics and differentiation potential of gingival mesenchymal stem cells in hyperglycemia — an ex vivo exploratory study

J. oral res. (Impresa); 13 (1), 2024
Background: The therapeutic use of gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) as autologous cells may pose the challenge of alterations inflicted by the hyperglycemic environment. Objective: This study aims to assess the effects of hyperglycemia on the characteristics of GMSCs in diabetics. Materials and Me...

Resveratrol Alleviates Osteoporosis by Promoting Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via SITR1/PI3K/AKT Pathway

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Senile osteoporosis is mainly caused by reduced osteoblast differentiation and has become the leading cause of fractures in the elderly worldwide. Natural organics are emerging as a potential option for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This study was designed to study the effect of ...

Investigation the effects of vitreous humor on proliferation and dedifferentiation of differentiated NTERA2 cells

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Abstract Mammals have a limited capacity to regenerate their tissues and organs. One of the mechanisms associated with natural regeneration is dedifferentiation. Several small molecules such as vitamin C and growth factors could improve reprogramming efficiency. In this study, the NTERA2-D1 (NT2) cells w...

Fibroblasts inhibit osteogenesis by regulating nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of YAP in mesenchymal stem cells and secreting DKK1

Biol. Res; 57 (), 2024
BACKGROUND: Fibrous scars frequently form at the sites of bone nonunion when attempts to repair bone fractures have failed. However, the detailed mechanism by which fibroblasts, which are the main components of fibrous scars, impede osteogenesis remains largely unknown. RESULTS: In this study, we found t...

Estudio de biocompatibilidad de matrices poliméricas combinadas, responsivas al pH, con aplicación en Ingeniería de Tejido Óseo
Biocompatibility study of combined pH-responsive polymeric matrices with application in Bone Tissue Engineering

Actual. osteol; 19 (2), 2023
El presente trabajo muestra la obtención de un material a partir de un polímero sintético (TerP) y otro natural, mediante entrecruzamiento físico y su caracterización fisicoquímica y biológica, con el fin de emplearlos para regeneración de tejido óseo. Las membranas fueron obtenidas por l...

Study of resveratrol against bone loss by using in-silico and in-vitro methods

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract By applying the in-silico method, resveratrol was docked on those proteins which are responsible for bone loss. The Molecular docking data between the resveratrol and Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa-Β ligand [RANKL] receptors proved that resveratrol binds tightly to the receptors...

NEDD4-1 deficiency impairs satellite cell function during skeletal muscle regeneration

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Satellite cells are tissue-specific stem cells primarily responsible for the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Satellite cell function and maintenance are regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms, including the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which is key for maintaining protein h...

YULINK regulates vascular formation in zebrafish and HUVECs

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: The distinct arterial and venous cell fates are dictated by a combination of various genetic factors which form diverse types of blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries. We report here that YULINK protein is involved in vasculogenesis, especially venous formation. METHODS: In t...

DNA methylation analysis identifies key transcription factors involved in mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic differentiation

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Knowledge about regulating transcription factors (TFs) for osteoblastogenesis from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is limited. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between genomic regions subject to DNA-methylation changes during osteoblastogenesis and the TFs known to directly interact ...

Spontaneous spheroids from alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stromal cells maintain pluripotency of stem cells by regulating hypoxia-inducible factors

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous spheroid culture is a novel three-dimensional (3D) culture strategy for the rapid and efficient selection of progenitor cells. The objectives of this study are to investigate the pluripotency and differentiation capability of spontaneous spheroids from alveolar bone-derived mesenc...
