Article Abstract
Purpose: To observe the effects of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on bone formation of tissue engineered bone in dogs.
Methods: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and EPCs were derived from dog bone marrow and cultured in different medium in vitro. They were seeded on demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to build tissue engineered bone, then the construct was implanted into the fasciae of latissimus dorsi muscle, the degree of bone formation was analyzed with imaging and histological methods at different time points. SPSS13.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Results: 4, 8, 12 weeks after operation, X-ray film showed bone mineral density (BMD) in the EPCs group was significantly higher than the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05); Histological examination revealed that the degree of bone formation in the EPCs group was higher than the control group, the new bone area and blood vessel area between the two groups were significantly different(P<0.05).
Conclusion: EPCs can promote bone formation and accelerate new bone formation in tissue-engineering bone.

Osteoporotic hip fractures are a considerable cause of pain and disability particularly among the elderly. Osteoporosis causes loss of bone stability, which in turn leads to an increased risk of fractures especially in metaphyseal bone. Moreover, the body's capacity for healing is diminished, resulting in prolonged recovery times following these fractures.

Objective: Progesterone (PG) and its target, progesterone receptor (PGR), are important regulators in inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the specific role of PG in periodontitis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms involving PGR.
Methods: Women with periodontitis, including 250 with PG deficiency, 250 with PG supplementation, and 245 controls (normal PG) were enrolled.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and serious complication of diabetes, often leading to infection, amputation and poor quality of life. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have shown promise in treating chronic wounds, but their therapeutic efficacy is limited due to poor survival and low regenerative activity. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIUS), a non-invasive physical modality, has been shown to enhance the biological behavior of BMSCs.

Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs) represent a remarkable cell source for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, offering significant potential for use in personalized medicine and autologous therapies. Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived biological scaffolds show excellent properties for supporting cell delivery and growth in both in vitro and in vivo applications. These scaffolds provide essential biochemical cues that regulate cellular functions and offer a more accurate representation of the in vivo environment.

A novel biodegradable bone cement (PSM) was successfully developed through the modification of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) with pectin, specifically addressing the inherent limitation of poor water resistance in conventional MOC. Properties of PSM such as washout resistance, setting time, mechanical properties and degradation properties were investigated. Results showed that PSM with 1.
