Additionally, it has facilitated the creation of implants, microfluidic devices, and optogenetic probes, offering substantial implications for medical and research applications. Additionally, 3D printed nasal casts are showing great promise for targeted brain drug delivery. 3DP has also aided in creating 3D “phantoms” aligning with advancements in neuroimaging, and in the design of intricate objects for investigating the neurobiology of sensory perception. Furthermore, the emergence of 3D bioprinting (3DBP), a fusion of 3D printing and cell biology, has created new avenues in neural tissue engineering. Effective and ethical creation of tissue-like biomimetic constructs has enabled mechanistic, regenerative, and therapeutic evaluations.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different graft materials on cementoblast’s proliferation, mineralization and mineralized tissue-related gene expressions in-vitro. Immortalized mouse cementoblasts (OCCM-30) were treated with the media containing released components of graft materials (100 mg/ml ratio; waited in 5% FBS containing media for 3 days). Proliferation of the cells was evaluated using a real-time cell analyzer for 170 h and wound healing assay was performed to determine the migration of OCCM-30 cells. Total RNA was isolated on days 3 and 6, and biomineralization of the cementoblasts was assessed using von Kossa staining. mRNA expressions of bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteocalcin (OCN), collagen type I (COL-I), runt-related transcription factor2 (Runx2), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) genes were examined using quantitative RT-PCR. While there was no significant difference at 72 h, all test groups showed significant reduction of cementoblast’s proliferation at 96^th and 120^th h. All graft materials increased cell migration to the experimental wounded area. While Bio-Oss^® showed significantly better effects on all mineralized tissue associated gene mRNA expressions on day 3 (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01), Nanobone^® upregulated Runx2 (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01) and BSP (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05), Emdogain^® induced OCN (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) and Runx2 (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05).

In conclusion, released components of all graft materials have positive effects on the cementoblast’s functions while Bio-Oss^® might be preferable for gene expressions. Nanobone^® has superiority for the biomineralization of the cementoblasts.

The BTT and BTP fibrous materials prepared displayed not only a promising interface among the materials and 3T3 fibroblast cell lines but moreover, the interaction of nanofibrous materials with stem cells has yielded encouraging outcomes.

Therefore, we hypothesized that aragonite (Arg) could react with dental calculus, facilitating its removal. To assess the reactivity of Arg with dental calculus, we examined the changes in surface morphology, composition, and topography of Arg and dental calculus upon exposure to each other in an aqueous environment. The impact of Arg on the removal of dental calculus was assessed by brushing polished sections of dental calculus, enamel, and dentin with slurries of Arg and measuring the depth of abrasion using a stylus profilometer. Our results demonstrate that Arg can react with dental calculus in aqueous environment.

To address this challenge, we have designed a self-assembled injectable hydrogel system that integrates photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy, aiming to enhance efficacy while mitigating adverse effects on osteogenic differentiation. In this study, an injectable sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel was fabricated by encapsulating titanium carbide powder (Ti₃C₂Tx) and osteoprotegerin Icariin (ICA) along with DOX. This hydrogel system demonstrated remarkable drug-loading capacity and sustained drug release. Furthermore, under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the hydrogel displayed outstanding photothermal effects, which, in conjunction with chemotherapy and phototherapy, effectively eradicated UMR-106 tumor cells in vitro. The incorporation of ICA not only enhanced the anti-tumor effect but also alleviated the adverse effects of DOX on the osteogenic differentiation inhibition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).

One safety concern is its effect over polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The objective of this in-vitro study is to assess such effect on cement adjacent to metallic arthroplasty components. Methods: Two different PMMA products, with and without antibiotic, were applied on three total-knee arthroplasty implants. A portable device was used to administer induction-heating protocols: 70 °C, 3.5 min and 100 °C, 3.5 min, while the third prosthesis served as control. The 602 cm⁻¹ and 558 cm⁻¹ bands in Raman spectroscopy were used to assess isotactic and syndiotactic components of PMMA, while 1339 cm⁻¹, 1295 cm⁻¹ and 882 cm⁻¹ bands in infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) were used to assess crystallinity. Results: Isotactic/syndiotactic ratios were 0.27(±0.02) for antibiotic-free cement, and 0.41(±0.02) for gentamicin-loaded cement. After induction-heating protocols, isotactic fraction increased in antibiotic-free cement, and decreased in gentamicin-loaded cement. No evidence of crystallization was found in ATR-FTIR, except for a small increase in 1340 cm⁻¹ band after 100 °C protocol. Conclusions: Spectroscopic techniques confirmed that PMMA only experienced minor structural changes after induction heating treatments.

SDF-1 adsorption in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid buffer onto OCP, the chemical structure of OCP immersed in the medium using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the degree of supersaturation of the medium were determined.
