Article Abstract
Background: The one-step membrane technique, using a human acellular dermal matrix (hADM), is an experimental method for treating large bone defects. This eliminates the need for the Masquelet membrane induction step, shortening the procedure while maintaining effectiveness. However, previous studies showed that colonizing hADM with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMC) worsens healing, likely due to the presence of CD8+ lymphocytes, which negatively affect bone regeneration. This study aims to investigate whether the negative impact of BMC on bone healing in this technique is due to the CD8+ cell population.
Materials And Methods: A 5 mm femoral defect was created in 25 male Sprague-Dawley rats, divided into three groups (G1-G3). BMC were isolated from syngenic donor rats, with CD8+ lymphocytes removed magnetically from the BMC fraction in one group. The defects were filled with bone chips and wrapped with differently treated hADM: G1 received native hADM, G2 received hADM+BMC, and G3 received hADM+BMC-CD8. After 8 weeks, the femurs were evaluated through radiological, biomechanical, and histological examinations.
Results: Bone defects and bone mineral density (BMD) were significantly improved in G3 (hADM+BMC-CD8) compared to G2 (hADM+BMC). Bone volume, bone formation, and median bending stiffness were higher in G3. Immunohistological analysis showed a significant decrease in CD8 cell count in G3, with a lower percentage of IFNγ-producing cells compared to G2.
Conclusion: Depleting CD8+ cells from BMC before colonizing hADM significantly improved bone healing, likely due to changes in the local mediator environment. This suggests that preoperative colonization with CD8+-depleted BMC could enhance the one-step membrane technique.

Amino acid (AA)-based nanoparticles (NPs) hold promise in cancer therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility and the various therapeutic functions derived from AA monomers. Here, we developed a universal one-step method to synthesize AA-based NPs. We then constructed L-Arginine (L-Arg)/calcium phosphate (CaP) NPs to enhance cancer therapy through synergistic calcium overload to induce apoptosis and immunogenic cell death.

Bacterial infections and the associated inflammatory responses present significant challenges to public health, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic strategies. In this study, novel carbon dots (QA-CDs) derived from quercetin (QU) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP) were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method. This approach merges the antimicrobial properties of phenolic compounds with the multifunctional advantages of carbon-based nanomaterials.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial joint disease that encompasses not just cartilage deterioration but also meniscal degeneration, subchondral bone remodeling, and fibrosis of the infrapatellar fat pad and synovial membrane. OA is characterized by a progressive and irreversible loss of the articular cartilage, due in main part to the cleavage of type II collagen within the matrix by the enzyme matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). As an important member of MMP family, MMP-3 plays a prominent role in the pathologenesis of OA.

To expand the application of silver nanowires (AgNWs) in the field of flexible sensors, this study developed a stretchable flexible sensor based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Initially, the TPU nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning. Subsequently, high-aspect-ratio AgNWs were synthesized via a one-step polyol reduction method.

: The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections demands innovative non-antibiotic therapeutic strategies. Dual-modal photoresponse therapy integrating photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) effects offers a promising rapid antibacterial approach, yet designing single-material systems with synergistic enhancement remains challenging. This study aims to develop uniform Cu-based metal-organic framework micrometer cubes (Cu-BN) for efficient PDT/PTT synergy.
