Article Abstract
Piezoelectric materials have received increasing attention in bone regeneration due to their prominent role in bioelectricity in bone homeostasis. This study aimed to develop bioactive barium titanate-chitosan-graphene oxide piezoelectric nanoparticles (BCG-NPs) to improve biocompatibility and stimulate bone repair. Butterfly loops, hysteresis loops, and microcurrent studies on BCG-NPs confirmed their good piezoelectric properties. BCG-NPs exhibited enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralized nodule formation, and expression of osteogenic-associated proteins and genes in human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells by creating microelectric environments in response to noninvasive ultrasound stimulation. Further, BCG-NPs upregulated intracellular calcium ions via electrical stimulation. They acted synergistically with piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 and calcium-permeable cation channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 to activate osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, ultrasound-assisted BCG-NPs created a microelectric environment that putatively promoted bone repair in a noninvasive manner.

Aim: To investigate the functional significance of mitophagy in age-related osteogenic decline and the underlying mechanisms using in vivo and in vitro models.
Materials And Methods: An alveolar bone defect model in aged mice and a serial passaging-induced ageing model of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) were established. Osteogenic potential in mice was assessed by micro-CT, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemical analyses and histological staining.

Aim: Prickle planar cell polarity (PCP) protein 2 (Prickle2) encodes a homologue of Drosophila prickle and is involved in the non-canonical Wnt/PCP signalling pathway. However, its exact role in dentinogenesis remains unclear. Dentinogenesis, a key process in tooth morphogenesis, involves the patterned arrangement of odontoblasts and the formation of dentine matrix along the pulp cavity.

In situ articular cartilage (AC) regeneration is a meticulously coordinated process. Microfracture has been the most extensive clinical approach in AC repair, but it faces challenges such as matrix degradation, generation, and remodeling within a local inflammatory microenvironment. So far, it remains a challenge to establish a multistage regulatory framework for coordinating these cellular events, particularly the immune response and chondrocyte proliferation in microfracture-mediated AC repair microenvironments, which is crucial for promoting AC regeneration quality.
