Abstract
The bone fracture cases have been increasing yearly, accompanied by the increased number of patients experiencing non-union or delayed union after their bone fracture. Although clinical materials facilitate fracture healing (e.g., metallic and composite materials), they cannot fulfill the requirements due to the slow degradation rate, limited osteogenic activity, inadequate osseointegration ability, and suboptimal mechanical properties. Since early 2000, nanomaterials successfully mimic the nanoscale features of bones and offer unique properties, receiving extensive attention. This paper reviews the achievements of nanomaterials in treating bone fracture (e.g., the intrinsic properties of nanomaterials, nanomaterials for bone defect filling, and nanoscale drug delivery systems in treating fracture delayed union). Furthermore, we discuss the perspectives on the challenges and future directions of developing nanomaterials to accelerate fracture healing.

Regeneration of periodontal bone defects with mesenchymal stem cells in animal models. Systematic review and meta-analysis. Odontology 2023; 111:105-122. [PMID: 35788845 PMCID: PMC9810679 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-022-00725-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the regeneration of periodontal bone defects in animal models. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, and the study was recorded in PROSPERO under reference number CDR42021247462. The PICO question was: is periodontal regeneration (cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone) with MSCs more effective than other techniques? Three groups were considered: Group 1: MSCs alone or mixed with regenerative materials. Group 2: only regenerative materials. Group 3: no regenerative material nor MSCs. The search was conducted using MeSH with a total of 18 articles for qualitative analysis and 5 for quantitative analysis. For the meta-analysis, a modification of the effect size algorithm was developed, which considered a comparison of means between treatments using the Student's t sample distribution. When comparing the effect size between Group 1 and Group 2, the effect size for the new cementum was 2.83 mm with an estimated confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%) between 0.48 and 5.17 mm. When considering the fit to a random-effects model, the combined variance (τ2) was 6.1573 mm, with a standard deviation (SD) of 5.6008 mm and a percentage of total heterogeneity I2 of 92.33% (p < 0.0001). For new bone, the effect size was 0.88 mm, CI 95% - 0.25 to 2.01 mm, τ2 = 1.3108 mm (SD = 1.2021 mm) and I2 = 80.46%, p = 0.0004). With regard to the new periodontal ligament, it was not possible for the meta-analysis to be performed. MSCs have a greater capacity for tissue regeneration in root cementum than in alveolar bone compared to other regenerative materials.

Abstract
In an ever-aging society the demand for bone-defect filling grafts continues to gain in importance. While autologous grafting still prevails as the gold standard, allografts and xenografts present viable alternatives with promising results. Physiochemical properties of a graft strongly depend on the processing method such as the decellularization protocol. In addition, the physiochemical characteristics are critical factors for a successful integration of the graft after the implantation and might influence mesenchymal stem cell function in therapeutic approaches combining grafts and autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Several decellularization methods have been proposed, however it still remains unclear which method results in favorable physiochemical properties or might be preferred in stem cell applications. In the first part of this study we compared two decellularization approaches resulting in chemically processed allografts (CPAs) or sonication-based processed allografts (SPAs). Each decellularization approach was compared for its decellularization efficacy and its influence on the grafts' surface texture and composition. In the second part of this study biocompatibility of grafts was assessed by testing the effect of extraction medium on MSC viability and comparing them to commercially available allografts and xenografts. Additionally, grafts' performance in terms of MSC functionality was assessed by reseeding with MSCs pre-differentiated in osteogenic medium and determining cell adhesion, proliferation, as well as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the degree of mineralization. In summary, results indicate a more effective decellularization for the SPA approach in comparison to the CPA approach. Even though SPA extracts induced a decrease in MSC viability, MSC performance after reseeding was comparable to commercially available grafts based on DNA quantification, alkaline phosphatase activity and quantification of mineralization. Commercial Tutoplast allografts showed overall the best effects on MSC functionality as indicated by extraction biocompatibility testing as well as by comparing proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells is enhanced by an aragonite scaffold. Differentiation 2019; 107:24-34. [PMID: 31152959 DOI: 10.1016/j.diff.2019.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2019] [Revised: 04/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Bone graft substitutes and bone void fillers are predominantly used to treat bone defects and bone fusion in orthopaedic surgery. Some aragonite-based scaffolds of coralline exoskeleton origin exhibit osteoconductive properties and are described as useful bone repair scaffolds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro osteogenic potential of the bone phase of a novel aragonite-based bi-phasic osteochondral scaffold (Agili-C™, CartiHeal Ltd.) using adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Analyses were performed at several time intervals: 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42 days post-seeding. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by morphological characterisation using light microscopy after Alizarin red and von Kossa staining, and scanning electron microscopy. The transcript levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), bone gamma-carboxyglutamate (BGLAP), osteonectin (SPARC) and osteopontin (SPP1) were determined by quantitative PCR. Proliferation was assessed by a thymidine incorporation assay and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunocytochemistry. Our results demonstrate that the bone phase of the bi-phasic aragonite-based scaffold supports osteogenic differentiation and enhanced proliferation of bone marrow-derived MSCs at both the molecular and histological levels. The scaffold was colonized by differentiating MSCs, suggesting its suitability for incorporation into bone voids to accelerate bone healing, remodelling and regeneration. The mechanism of osteogenic differentiation involves scaffold surface modification with de novo production of calcium phosphate deposits, as revealed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. This novel coral-based scaffold may promote the rapid formation of high quality bone during the repair of osteochondral lesions.

Abstract
Despite their demonstrated biocompatibility and osteogenic properties, oyster shells have been reported as a potential alternative to other commonly used materials for bone substitution. This study evaluated whether an experimental bone substitute (EBS) made from a typical oyster shell of Northeastern Brazil (Crassostrea rhizophora) has effects on bone development using an animal model. Oysters were collected from a biologically assisted vivarium, and their inner layer was used for preparing an EBS. Chemical and surface characterization of EBS was performed using Individually Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. Seventy-two rats were randomly assigned to groups according to the treatment of bone defects created in the submandibular area: Negative Control (-C), Positive Control (+C; Bio-Oss®) and EBS. Euthanasia occurred at 7, 21, 42 and 56 days postoperatively. The bone pieces were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). The formation of bone tissue was evaluated histologically and histomorphometrically. Data were analyzed through the Kruskal-Wallis test and ANOVA considering a significant level of 5%. The main element found in EBS was calcium (71.68%), and it presented heterogeneity in the particle size and a porosity aspect at SEM analysis. Histological results revealed the absence of inflammatory cells in all groups, being that EBS presented the most accelerated process of bone formation with a statistically significant difference between this group and the +C and -C groups in the 21-day time-point (p < 0.05). After 21 days, the bone formation process was similar between all groups (p > 0.05), showing an immature lamellar bone pattern after 56 days of experimentation (p > 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, it was possible to conclude that EBS presented good biocompatibility and promoted fast stimulation for bone-forming cells in an animal model.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To conduct a thorough appraisal of recent and inventive advances in the field of bone tissue engineering using biomaterials, cell-based research, along with the incorporation of biomimetic properties using surface modification of scaffolds. RECENT FINDINGS This paper will provide an overview on different biomaterials and emerging techniques involved in the fabrication of scaffolds, brief description of signaling pathways involved in osteogenesis, and the effect of surface modification on the fate of progenitor cells. The current strategies used for regenerative medicine like cell therapy, gene transfer, and tissue engineering have opened numerous therapeutic avenues for the treatment of various disabling orthopedic disorders. Precise strategy utilized for the reconstruction, restoration, or repair of the bone-related tissues exploits cells, biomaterials, morphogenetic signals, and appropriate mechanical environment to provide the basic constituents required for creating new tissue. Combining all the above strategies in clinical trials would pave the way for successful "bench to bedside" transformation in bone healing.

Abstract
Phosphoric acid-etching treatment to the hydroxyapatite (HA) surface can modify the solubility calcium structure. The aim of the present study was to develop phosphate treated porous HA, and the characteristic structures and stimulation abilities of bone formation were evaluated to determine its suitability as a new type of bone graft material. Although the phosphoric acid-etching treatment did not alter the three-dimensional structure, a micrometer-scale rough surface topography was created on the porous HA surface. Compared to porous HA, the porosity of phosphate treated porous HA was slightly higher and the mechanical strength was lower. Two weeks after placement of the cylindrical porous or phosphate treated porous HA in a rabbit femur, newly formed bone was detected in both groups. At the central portion of the bone defect area, substantial bone formation was detected in the phosphate treated porous HA group, with a significantly higher bone formation ratio than detected in the porous HA group. These results indicate that phosphate treated porous HA has a superior surface topography and bone formation abilities in vivo owing to the capacity for both osteoconduction and stimulation abilities of bone formation conferred by phosphoric acid etching.

Abstract
This systematic review aims to evaluate mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) periodontal regenerative potential in animal models. MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases were searched for quantitative pre-clinical controlled animal model studies that evaluated the effect of local administration of MSC on periodontal regeneration. The systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. Twenty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Periodontal defects were surgically created in all studies. In seven studies, periodontal inflammation was experimentally induced following surgical defect creation. Differences in defect morphology were identified among the studies. Autogenous, alogenous and xenogenous MSC were used to promote periodontal regeneration. These included bone marrow-derived MSC, periodontal ligament (PDL)-derived MSC, dental pulp-derived MSC, gingival margin-derived MSC, foreskin-derived induced pluripotent stem cells, adipose tissue-derived MSC, cementum-derived MSC, periapical follicular MSC and alveolar periosteal cells. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneities in study designs. In most of the studies, local MSC implantation was not associated with adverse effects. The use of bone marrow-derived MSC for periodontal regeneration yielded conflicting results. In contrast, PDL-MSC consistently promoted increased PDL and cementum regeneration. Finally, the adjunct use of MSC improved the regenerative outcomes of periodontal defects treated with membranes or bone substitutes. Despite the quality level of the existing evidence, the current data indicate that the use of MSC may provide beneficial effects on periodontal regeneration. The various degrees of success of MSC in periodontal regeneration are likely to be related to the use of heterogeneous cells. Thus, future studies need to identify phenotypic profiles of highly regenerative MSC populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The clinical standard for alveolar cleft osteoplasty is augmentation with autologous bone being available in limited amounts and might be associated with donor site morbidity. The aim of the present study was the creation of tissue-engineered bone grafts and their in vivo evaluation regarding their potential to promote osteogenesis in an alveolar cleft model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Artificial bone defects with a diameter of 3.3 mm were created surgically in the palate of 84 adult Lewis rats. Four experimental groups (n = 21) were examined: bovine hydroxyl apatite/collagen (bHA) without cells, bHA with undifferentiated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), bHA with osteogenically differentiated MSC. In a control group, the defect remained empty. After 6, 9 and 12 weeks, the remaining defect volume was assessed by cone beam computed tomography. Histologically, the remaining defect width and percentage of bone formation was quantified. RESULTS After 12 weeks, the remaining defect width was 60.1% for bHA, 74.7% for bHA with undifferentiated MSC and 81.8% for bHA with osteogenically differentiated MSC. For the control group, the remaining defect width measured 46.2% which was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The study design was suitable to evaluate tissue-engineered bone grafts prior to a clinical application. In this experimental set-up with the described maxillary defect, no promoting influence on bone formation of bone grafts containing bHA could be confirmed. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The creation of a sufficient tissue-engineered bone graft for alveolar cleft osteoplasty could preserve patients from donor site morbidity.

Abstract
In this in vitro investigation of a heterogeneous range of bio-functional and modulatory performances of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) grown on two plasma-deposited acrylic acid (pdAA) coatings, which differed in chemical characteristics, a view of their potential utility as hybrid scaffolds for bone tissue engineering was obtained. The in vitro behavior of MSCs was compared to that of MG-63 cells, an osteoblast-like cell line that is commonly used to test biocompatibility of materials intended for bone-tissue interface. The coatings exerted a greater stimulus on MSCs and on MG-63 cells in comparison with control cultures. Both studied coatings exhibited satisfactory compatibility and modulatory effects on MSCs, thus they may be suitable for use in 2D or 3D scaffolds for bone tissue reconstruction.

Misawa MYO, Huynh‐Ba G, Villar GM, Villar CC. Efficacy of stem cells on the healing of peri-implant defects: systematic review of preclinical studies. Clin Exp Dent Res 2016; 2:18-34. [PMID: 29744146 PMCID: PMC5839227 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2015] [Revised: 11/23/2015] [Accepted: 11/30/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
This systematic review considers the evidence from animal studies evaluating the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of intraoral peri-implant defects. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS databases were searched for quantitative preclinical controlled animal model studies that evaluated the effect of MSC on bone healing at intraoral peri-implant bone defects. The primary outcome was the amount of (re-)osseointegration reported as bone-to-implant contact in the defect area. The systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria. Only one study induced peri-implant inflammation to produce peri-implant bone defects. In all others, defects were surgically created at implant installation. Differences in defect morphology were identified among the studies. Both xenogenous and autogenous MSC were used to treat peri-implant defects. These included bone marrow-derived MSC, periodontal ligament-derived MSC, umbilical cord MSC, bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Meta-analysis was not possible because of heterogeneities in study designs. Nonetheless, in most studies, local MSC implantation was not associated with adverse effects and had a positive effect on bone healing around peri-implant defects. Combination of MSC with membranes and bioactive factors appears to provide improved treatment outcomes. In large animal models, intraoral use of MSC may provide beneficial effects on bone healing within peri-implant defects. The various degrees of success of MSC in peri-implant bone healing are likely to be related to the use of cells from various populations, tissues, and donor species. However, human safety and efficacy must be demonstrated before its clinical use can be considered.

Abstract
Activation of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2) regulates myeloid cell function in vitro. However, the failure to detect TREM-2 protein expression in vivo has hampered studies on immunological and other physiological TREM-2 functions. This study demonstrates that TREM-2 is expressed by human mesenchymal stem cells (h-MSCs) and responds to the toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Knockdown of TREM-2 in h-MSCs using a small interfering RNA (siRNA) reduced the expression levels of TLR2, TLR4, and TLR6, inhibited osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation under specific induction conditions, and enhanced LPS-evoked inflammatory cytokine production. Thus, activation of TREM-2 may restrain h-MSC immune activation and promote differentiation for tissue repair.

Abstract
β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are commonly used in bone tissue engineering. In the present study, a new composite combining strengthened β-TCP and PRP was prepared and its morphological and mechanical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and material testing. The biocompatibility was evaluated by measuring the adhesion rate and cytotoxicity of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). The strengthened β-TCP/PRP composite had an appearance like the fungus Boletus kermesinus with the PRP gel distributed on the surface of the micropores. The maximum load and load intensity were 945.6±86.4 N and 13.1±0.5 MPa, which were significantly higher than those of β-TCP (110.1±14.3 N and 1.6±0.2 MPa; P<0.05). The BMSC adhesion rate on the strengthened β-TCP/PRP composite was >96% after 24 h, with a cell cytotoxicity value of zero. SEM micrographs revealed that following seeding of BMSCs onto the composite in high-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium culture for two weeks, the cells grew well and exhibited fusiform, spherical and polygonal morphologies, as well as pseudopodial connections. The strengthened β-TCP/PRP composite has the potential to be used as a scaffold in bone tissue engineering due to its effective biocompatibility and mechanical properties.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The development of sufficient tissue engineered bone grafts for alveolar cleft osteoplasty could reduce the necessity of autogenous bone grafts and its donor site morbidity. The aim of the study was to evaluate tissue engineered bone grafts in an artificially created bone defect. Bone grafts were created in vitro colonizing a synthetic hydroxyapatite-tricalciumphosphate scaffold (BONITmatrix(®)) with either undifferentiated mesenchymal stromal cells (group 1) or osteogenic differentiated mesenchymal stromal cells (group 2). Cells were multiplied from bone marrow of donor rats. Unmodified scaffolds (group 3) and the tissue engineered bone grafts were inserted into artificial maxillary defects of 54 Lewis rats. In 18 animals the defects remained unfilled (control). After one, three and six weeks the rats were sacrificed. The defect was evaluated radiologically and histologically with regard to the remaining defect volume and diameter. Statistical analysis followed. The bone grafts led to a specific bone formation at the defect margin. No complete reunion of any defect was observed within the healing time. After six weeks, the remaining defect volume was 6.86 ± 3.21 mm(3) (control), 4.08 ± 1.36 mm(3) (group 1), 5.00 ± 0.84 mm(3) (group 2) 5.50 ± 1.05 mm(3) (group 3). The remaining defect diameter measured 2.63 ± 0.52 mm (control), 2.39 ± 0.23 mm (group 1), 2.53 ± 0.22 mm (group 2) and 2.70 ± 0.66 mm (group 3). In all experimental groups the defect volume and diameter decreased over time, which was significant for group 1 (p = 0.014), group 2 (p = 0.025) and group 3 (p = 0.048). The defect volume and width was significantly reduced for bone grafts containing undifferentiated cells compared to control (p = 0.035) or scaffolds only (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION Tissue engineered bone grafts induce a pronounced bone formation in artificial bone defects compared to unfilled controls or scaffolds only.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (poly(P)) is recognized as a therapeutic agent that promotes fibroblast growth factor and enhances osteogenic differentiation, and in vivo, when adsorbed onto interconnected porous calcium hydroxyapatite (IP-CHA) enhances bone regeneration. The present study focused on the effect of poly(P) adsorbed onto IP-CHA granules (Poly(P)/IP-CHA) in guided bone regeneration (GBR). Dental implants were placed into the edentulous mandibular areas of five Beagle-Labrador hybrid dogs with screw expose on the buccal side, and then bone defects were filled Poly(P)/IP-CHA (test) or IP-CHA (control). After 12 weeks, histological evaluation and histomorphometrical analysis were performed. Newly-bone formation around exposed implant screw was clearly detected in the test-group. The ratio for regenerated bone height in the test group versus the control-group was 85.6±20.2 and 62.6±23.8, respectively, with no significant difference, while, that for bone implant contact was significantly higher (67.9±11.8 and 48.8±14.1, respectively). These findings indicate that Poly(P)/IP-CHA enhances bone regeneration in GBR.

Determining a clinically relevant strategy for bone tissue engineering: an "all-in-one" study in nude mice. PLoS One 2013; 8:e81599.

Abstract
Purpose Autologous bone grafting (BG) remains the standard reconstruction strategy for large craniofacial defects. Calcium phosphate (CaP) biomaterials, such as biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), do not yield consistent results when used alone and must then be combined with cells through bone tissue engineering (BTE). In this context, total bone marrow (TBM) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are the primary sources of cellular material used with biomaterials. However, several other BTE strategies exist, including the use of growth factors, various scaffolds, and MSC isolated from different tissues. Thus, clinicians might be unsure as to which method offers patients the most benefit. For this reason, the aim of this study was to compare eight clinically relevant BTE methods in an “all-in-one” study. Methods We used a transgenic rat strain expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP), from which BG, TBM, and MSC were harvested. Progenitor cells were then mixed with CaP materials and implanted subcutaneously into nude mice. After eight weeks, bone formation was evaluated by histology and scanning electron microscopy, and GFP-expressing cells were tracked with photon fluorescence microscopy. Results/Conclusions Bone formation was observed in only four groups. These included CaP materials mixed with BG or TBM, in which abundant de novo bone was formed, and BCP mixed with committed cells grown in two- and three-dimensions, which yielded limited bone formation. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that only the TBM and BG groups were positive for GFP expressing-cells, suggesting that these donor cells were still present in the host and contributed to the formation of bone. Since the TBM-based procedure does not require bone harvest or cell culture techniques, but provides abundant de novo bone formation, we recommend consideration of this strategy for clinical applications.

J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2013; 102:1021-30.

Abstract
Tissue engineering has been applied to overcome the obstacles encountered with bone regeneration for the placement of dental implants. The purpose of this study was to determine the bone formation ability of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) when applied separately or together to the intrabony defect around dental implants with a porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffold. Standardized three-wall intrabony defects (4 × 4 × 4 mm) were created at the mesial of each dental implant site in four mongrel dogs. Defects were then grafted with the following materials: HA + BMMSCs (HS group), HA + PRP (HP group), HA + BMMSCs + PRP (HSP group), and HA scaffold alone (HA group). The level of bone formation (bone density) and osseointegration (bone-to-implant contact [BIC]) in bone defects around the implants were evaluated by histological and histometric analysis at 6 and 12 weeks after the placement of implants. HA, HS, HP, and HSP groups generally showed an increase in bone density and BIC between 6 and 12 weeks, except BIC in the HS group. Although no statistically significant differences were found among HA, HS, HP, and HSP groups (p > 0.05), the highest level of bone density and BIC were observed in the HSP group after the 12-week healing period. Furthermore, the level of bone maturation was higher in the HSP group than in the other groups as determined histologically. The findings of this preliminary study suggest that BMMSCs and PRP combined with HA scaffold may provide additional therapeutic effects on bone regeneration and improve osseointegration in bone defects around dental implants.

Abstract
A partially converted, biodegradable coralline hydroxyapatite/calcium carbonate (CHACC) composite comprising a coral calcium carbonate scaffold enveloped by a thin layer of hydroxyapatite was used in the present study. The CHACC was characterized using powder x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The ability of the CHACC to promote conductive osteogenesis was assessed in vitro using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and in vivo using an immunodeficient mouse model. The clinical performance of CHACC as a bone substitute to fill voids caused by excision of bone tumours was also observed in 16 patients. The CHACC was found to consist of two overlapping layers both morphologically and chemically. Hydroxyapatite formed a thin layer of nanocrystals on the surface and a thick rough crystal layer of around 30 µm in thickness enveloping the rock-like core calcium carbonate exoskeletal architecture. hMSCs cultured on CHACC in osteogenic medium demonstrated significant osteogenic differentiation. After subcutaneous implantation of CHACC incorporating osteogenically differentiated hMSCs and an anti-resorptive agent, risedronate, into an immunodeficient mouse model, bone formation was observed on the surface of the implants. Clinical application of CHACC alone in 16 patients for bone augmentation after tumour removal showed that after implantation, visible callus formation was observed at one month and clinical bone healing achieved at four months. The majority of the implanted CHACC was degraded in 18-24 months. In conclusion, CHACC appears to be an excellent biodegradable bone graft material. It biointegrates with the host, is osteoconductive, biodegradable and can be an attractive alternative to autogenous grafts.

Abstract
Repair and regeneration of critical sized defects via the utilization of polymeric bone graft substitutes are challenges. Here, we introduce radially and axially graded multizonal bone graft substitutes fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL), and PCL biocomposites with osteoconductive particles, that is, hydroxyapatite (HA), and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP). The novel bone graft substitutes should provide a greater degree of freedom to the orthopedic surgeon especially for repair of critically sized bone defects. The modulus of the graft substitute could be tailored in the axial direction upon the systematic variation of the HA/TCP concentration, while in the radial direction the bone graft substitute consisted of an outer layer with high stiffness, encapsulating a softer core with greater porosity. The biocompatibility of the bone graft substitutes was investigated using in vitro culturing of human bone marrow-derived stromal cells followed by the analysis of cell proliferation and differentiation rates. The characterization of the tissue constructs included the enzymatic alkaline phosphates (ALP) activity, microcomputed tomography imaging, and polymerase chain reaction analysis involving the expressions of bone markers, that is, Runx2, ALP, collagen type I, osteopontin, and osteocalcin, overall demonstrating the differentiation of bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs) via osteogenic lineage and formation of mineralized bone tissue.

Abstract
Scientific literature about the use of MSC contains clinical and experimental data on the efficiency of cell technologies for restoration of the osteoarticular apparatus. The use of MSC immobilized in the appropriate carriers and differentiation of these cells towards the bone cells and chondrocytes are of crucial importance. However, the use of MSC, both individual and in combination with other preparations and substances has a number of drawbacks and advantages. The absence of published reports on contraindications and complications of cell therapy is worthy of note, because the analysis of unsuccessful application of MSC will help to determine the indication for this treatment, and hence, to improve the efficiency of cell technologies in the future. Wider use of MSC in clinical practice and experimental studies for acceleration of reparative processes in the bone and cartilage tissue seems to be promising.

Abstract
A unitary bioresorbable cage/core bone graft substitute consisting of a stiff cage and a softer core with interconnected porosity is offered for spinal arthrodesis. Polycaprolactone, PCL, was used as the matrix and hydroxyapatite, HA, and β-tricalcium phosphate, TCP, were used in the formulation of the cage layer to impart modulus increase and osteoconductivity while the core consisted solely of PCL. The crystallinity, biodegradation rate (under accelerated conditions) and mechanical properties, i.e., the uniaxial compression, relaxation modulus upon step compression and cyclic compressive fatigue properties, of the co-extruded cage/core bone graft substitutes could be manipulated by changes in the concentration of HA/TCP in the cage layer. The cyclic fatigue behavior of the cage/core bone graft substitutes were also compared to the behavior of bovine vertebral cancellous bone characterized under similar testing conditions. The biocompatibility of the cage/core bone graft substitutes were assessed via in vitro culturing of human bone marrow derived stromal cells, BMSCs. The cell proliferation rates, time dependencies of the alkaline phosphates (ALP) activity and the expressions of bone markers, i.e., Runx2, ALP, collagen type I, osteopontin and osteocalcin, and the collected μ-CT images demonstrated the differentiation of BMSCs via osteogenic lineage and formation of mineralized bone tissue to indicate the biocompatibility of the cage/core bone graft substitutes.

Abstract
We used the tarsus of an adult Xenopus laevis frog as an in vivo load-bearing model to study the regeneration of critical-size defects (CSD) in long bones. We found the CSD for this bone to be about 35% of the tarsus length. To promote regeneration, we implanted biocompatible 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate scaffolds soaked with bone morphogenetic proteins-4 and vascular endothelial growth factors. In contrast to studies that use scaffolds as templates for bone formation, we used scaffolds as a growth factor delivery vehicle to promote cartilage-to-bone regeneration. Defects in control frogs were filled with scaffolds lacking growth factors. The limbs were harvested at a series of time points ranging from 3 weeks to 6 months after implantation and evaluated using micro-computed tomography and histology. In frogs treated with growth factor-loaded scaffolds, we observed a cartilage-to-bone regeneration in the skeletal defect. Five out of eight defects were completely filled with cartilage by 6 weeks. Blood vessels had invaded the cartilage, and bone was beginning to form in ossifying centers. By 3 months, these processes were well advanced, and extensive ossification was observed in 6-month samples. In contrast, the defects in control frogs showed only formation of fibrous scar tissue. This study demonstrates the utility of a Xenopus model system for tissue engineering research and that the normal in vivo mechanism of endochondral bone development and fracture repair can be mimicked in the repair of CSD with scaffolds used as growth factor delivery mechanisms.

Abstract
For bone tissue engineering, the benefits of incorporating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into porous scaffolds are well established. There is, however, little consensus on the effects of or need for MSC handling ex vivo. Culture and expansion of MSCs adds length and cost, and likely increases risk associated with treatment. We evaluated the effect of using uncultured bone marrow mononuclear cells (bmMNCs) encapsulated within fibrin glue hydrogels and seeded into porous scaffolds to regenerate bone over 12 weeks in an 8-mm-diameter, critical-sized rat cranial defect. A full factorial experimental design was used to evaluate bone formation within model poly(L-lactic acid) and corraline hydroxyapatite scaffolds with or without platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bmMNCs. Mechanical push-out testing, microcomputed tomographical analyses, and histology were performed. PRP showed no benefit for bone formation. Cell-laden poly(L-lactic acid) scaffolds without PRP required significantly greater force to displace from surrounding tissues than control (cell-free) scaffolds, but no differences were observed during push-out testing of coral scaffolds. For bone volume formation as analyzed by microcomputed tomography, significant positive overall effects were observed with bmMNC incorporation. These data suggest that bmMNCs may provide therapeutic advantages in bone tissue engineering applications without the need for culture, expansion, and purification.

Abstract
The derivation of osteogenic cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) or from induced pluripotent stem cells for bone regeneration would be a welcome alternative to the use of adult stem cells. In an attempt to promote hESC osteogenic differentiation, cells of the HSF-6 line were cultured in differentiating conditions in vitro for prolonged periods of time ranging from 7 to 14.5 weeks, followed by in vivo transplantation into immunocompromised mice in conjunction with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate ceramic powder. Twelve different medium compositions were tested, along with a number of other variables in culture parameters. In differentiating conditions, HSF-6-derived cells demonstrated an array of diverse phenotypes reminiscent of multiple tissues, but after a few passages, acquired a more uniform, fibroblast-like morphology. Eight to 16 weeks post-transplantation, a group of transplants revealed the formation of histologically proven bone of human origin, including broad areas of multiple intertwining trabeculae, which represents by far the most extensive in vivo bone formation by the hESC-derived cells described to date. Knockout-Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium-based media with fetal bovine serum, dexamethasone, and ascorbate promoted more frequent bone formation, while media based on α-modified minimum essential medium promoted teratoma formation in 12- to 20-week-old transplants. Transcription levels of pluripotency-related (octamer binding protein 4, Nanog), osteogenesis-related (collagen type I, Runx2, alkaline phosphatase, and bone sialoprotein), and chondrogenesis-related (collagen types II and X, and aggrecan) genes were not predictive of either bone or teratoma formation. The most extensive bone was formed by the strains that, following 4 passages in monolayer conditions, were cultured for 23 to 25 extra days on the surface of hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate particles, suggesting that coculturing of hESC-derived cells with osteoconductive material may increase their osteogenic potential. While none of the conditions tested in this study, and elsewhere, ensured consistent bone formation by hESC-derived cells, our results may elucidate further directions toward the construction of bone on the basis of hESCs or an individual's own induced pluripotent stem cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC), when used in combination with biomaterial scaffolds, have been shown to contribute at varying efficiencies to bone and cartilage regeneration in preclinical large animal models and human clinical trials. In an orthopedic context, identification of the optimal scaffold, which is capable of inducing tissue regeneration, has been the subject of numerous studies. In the present study, we show that ex vivo-expanded MSC from human and ovine bone marrow display similar phenotypic properties, but exhibit differences in their ability to form bone in vivo when transplanted with different biocompatible scaffold composites. We found that the ovine MSC formed ectopic bone on all scaffolds tested with the exception of collagen-based demineralized bone matrix. In contrast, human MSC in general formed less bone and only on those biomaterials composed of ceramic particles containing at least 15% hydroxyapatite. This study demonstrates the differences in bone formation potential between human and ovine MSC in vivo based on the osteoconductive properties of different bioscaffolds currently being used for orthopedic clinical applications.

Abstract
Cultured adherent bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are capable of forming ectopic hematopoietic microenvironments (HMEs) in immunodeficient mice. However, the cell surface phenotype of the native bone marrow stem/progenitor cell that gives rise to BMSCs that support hematopoiesis remains poorly defined. We recently reported the derivation of human BMSC-like cells (CD133BMSCs) by magnetic cell sorting against Prominin-1 (CD133), an epitope expressed by embryonic, fetal, and adult stem cells. Here we demonstrate that CD133BMSCs are capable of forming ectopic HMEs. Cultured adherent CD133BMSCs derived from sorted CD133-positive cells lacked CD133 expression, but were uniformly positive for CD146, an epitope recently described to identify self-renewing osteoprogenitor cells that could transfer the HME. CD133BMSCs were genetically-tagged by lentivirus, expanded, and seeded into HA/TCP/fibrin constructs that were implanted subcutaneously. After 60days, CD133BMSCs produced human osteocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, and reticular cells that supported murine hematopoiesis. CD133BMSCs that were not transduced with lentivirus also formed HMEs. Control constructs seeded with human dermal fibroblasts formed connective tissue, but failed to form HMEs. Our data indicate that CD133 expression identifies a native human bone marrow stem/progenitor cell that gives rise to BMSCs capable of forming the HME.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (poly(P)) can promote binding between fibroblast growth factors and their receptors and enhance osteoblastic cell differentiation and calcification. This study evaluated the possibilities for poly(P) adsorbed onto interconnected porous calcium hydroxyapatite (IP-CHA) as a new bone regeneration material. Prepared 1%, 5%, 25% and 50% poly(P)/IP-CHA composites showed the elution peak of poly(P) between 15 and 20 min, respectively, with the highest value from 50% poly(P)/IP-CHA in vitro. Histologically, at 1 week of placement into the femur of rabbits, granulation tissue had penetrated into the pores in all composites and IP-CHA as a control. In contrast, at 2 weeks of placement, newly formed lamellar bone was found in all groups, although a higher amount of bone regeneration was obviously formed in the 25% and 50% poly(P)/IP-CHA with a significantly higher value of bone regeneration ratio of 50% poly(P)/IP-CHA. These results indicate that 25% and 50% poly(P)/IP-CHA composites may enhance initial bone regeneration.

Abstract
Most bone regeneration experimental models that test bone-derived matrices take place in conjunction with the native bone. Here, we compared the relative effectiveness of bone matrix components on bone-marrow-directed osteogenesis in an ectopic model. Cortical bone cylinders consisted of diaphysis of DA rat femurs. They were either demineralized (DBM), deproteinized (HABM), or nontreated (MBM). Fresh bone marrow was placed into cylinders and implanted at subcutaneous thoracic sites of 2-month-old DA rats. At designated times the cylinders were surgically removed from the animals. Microradiographs of DBM and histology of DBM and MBM cylinders demonstrated progressive increase in mineralized bone volume and its trabecular configuration. Bone filled the inner volume of DBM and MBM cylinders within 4 weeks, while in HABM cylinders mostly granulation tissue developed. In the DBM cylinders cartilage deposited within 10 days, while in the MBM cylinders bone was directly deposited. As early as day 3 after marrow transplantation, marrow cells interacting with DBM increased significantly the genes that express the cartilage and the bone phenotype. In conclusion, organic components of bone are needed for marrow-directed osteogenesis.

Abstract
The local environment plays an important role in osteogenic tissue regeneration. Our previous studies have shown that xenogenic transplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) alone into immunodeficient mice did not result in long-term bone formation. This study investigates whether bone formation can be prolonged by incorporating human mesenchymal stem cells in mineralized scaffolds together with controlled delivery of a growth factor, BMP2. A composite of coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA) with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-encapsulated rhBMP2 was incorporated with hMSCs in vitro. After 2 weeks in vitro culture the constructs were implanted subcutaneously in CB17 scid beige mice and harvested 10 weeks after implantation. The mineralized tissues were stained by using a fluorescent marker, 5FAM-risedronate, followed by observation with fluorescence microscopy, histology, histomorphometry, mouse-anti-human vimentin immunohistochemistry, and scanning microscopy. The results showed that compared with control materials in which only fibrous tissue formed following implantation of coralline scaffolds, bone-like tissue formed within the CHA composite containing PLGA encapsulated rhBMP2 and hMSCs for up to 10 weeks after implantation. Human cells, identified by the human vimentin-specific monoclonal antibody were seen within the bone-like tissue. In conclusion, incorporation of hMSCs into CHA with controlled delivery of BMP showed prolonged bone formation in immunodeficient mice. Further research is required to optimize the growth factor delivery system and to understand the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms involved.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that both scaffold material and the type of cell culturing contribute to the results of in vivo osteogenesis in tissue-engineered constructs in an interactive manner. CaCO3 scaffolds and mineralized collagen scaffolds were seeded with human trabecular bone cells at a density of 5 x 10(6) cells/cm(3) and were left to attach under standard conditions for 24 h. Subsequently, they were submitted to static and dynamic culturing for 14 days (groups III and IV, respectively). Dynamic culturing was carried out in a continuous flow perfusion bioreactor. Empty scaffolds and scaffolds that were seeded with cells and kept under standard conditions for 24 h served as controls (groups I and II, respectively). Five scaffolds of each biomaterial and from each group were implanted into the gluteal muscles of rnu rats for 6 weeks. Osteogenesis was assessed quantitatively by histomorphometry and expression of osteocalcin (OC) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was determined by immunohistochemistry. CaCO3 scaffolds exhibited 15.8% (SD 3.1) of newly formed bone after static culture and 22.4% (SD 8.2) after dynamic culture. Empty control scaffolds did not show bone formation, and scaffolds after 24 h of standard conditions produced 8.2% of newly formed bone (SD 4.0). Differences between the controls and the scaffolds cultured for 14 days were significant, but there was no significant difference between static and dynamic culturing. Mineralized collagen scaffolds did not show bone formation in any group. There was a significant difference in the expression of OC within the scaffolds submitted to static versus dynamic culturing in the CaCO3 scaffolds. VEGF expression did not show significant differences between static and dynamic culturing in the two biomaterials tested. It is concluded that within the limitations of the study the type of biomaterial had the dominant effect on in vivo bone formation in small tissue-engineered scaffolds. The culture period additionally affected the amount of bone formed, whereas the type of culturing may have had a positive effect on the expression of osteogenic markers but not on the quantity of bone formation.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to examine in vitro osteogenic capability and in vivo bone formation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) on two kinds of calcium phosphate ceramics. MSCs derived from human bone marrow were seeded on either hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic or beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) ceramic and then cultured in a medium supplemented with a donor's serum, vitamin C, beta-glycerophosphate, and dexamethasone. The culture revealed the expression of alkaline phosphatase activity, indicating the osteogenic differentiation of the MSCs on the ceramics (fabrication of tissue-engineered construct). The constructs were then implanted subcutaneously into nude rats for 8 weeks. New bone formation was observed in both types of ceramics, and human-specific Alu sequence was detected by in situ hybridization analysis. Quantitative microcomputed tomography showed that the volume of the new bone in the HA ceramic was greater than that in the beta-TCP ceramic in six of seven cases. These results suggest that human MSCs cultured on ceramics could retain their osteogenic capability even after ectopic implantation and provide a rationale for the use of tissue-engineered constructs derived from a patient's MSCs and calcium phosphate ceramics in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated a clinically relevant model of in vivo ectopic bone formation utilizing human periosteum derived cells (HPDCs) seeded in a Collagraft™ carrier and explored the mechanisms by which this process is driven. Bone formation occurred after eight weeks when a minimum of one million HPDCs was loaded on Collagraft™ carriers and implanted subcutaneously in NMRI nu/nu mice. De novo bone matrix, mainly secreted by the HPDCs, was found juxta-proximal of the calcium phosphate (CaP) granules suggesting that CaP may have triggered the ‘osteoinductive program’. Indeed, removal of the CaP granules by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid decalcification prior to cell seeding and implantation resulted in loss of bone formation. In addition, inhibition of endogenous bone morphogenetic protein and Wnt signalling by overexpression of the secreted antagonists Noggin and Frzb, respectively, also abrogated osteoinduction. Proliferation of the engrafted HPDCs was strongly reduced in the decalcified scaffolds or when seeded with adenovirus-Noggin/Frzb transduced HPDCs indicating that cell division of the engrafted HPDCs is required for the direct bone formation cascade. These data suggest that this model of bone formation is similar to that observed during physiological intramembranous bone development and may be of importance when investigating tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) during osteoblastic differentiation of cultured human periosteal-derived cells. Periosteal tissues were obtained from mandible during surgical extraction of lower impacted third molars. Periosteal-derived cells were introduced into cell culture. After passage 3, the periosteal-derived cells were further cultured for 42 days in an osteogenic-inductive culture medium containing dexamethasone, ascorbic acid, and beta-glycerophosphate. The alkaline phosphatase activity in the cultured periosteal-derived cells increased rapidly up to day 14, followed by decrease in activity. The Runx2 protein was expressed at day 7 and day 14, and its expression was not observed thereafter. Both VEGF(165) and VEGF(121) were expressed strongly at days 35 and 42 of culture, particularly during the later stages of differentiation. Alizarin red S-positive nodules were first observed on day 14 and then increased in number during the entire culture period. Osteocalcin and VEGF were first detected in the culture medium on day 14, and their levels increased thereafter in a time-dependent manner. These results suggest that VEGF secretion from cultured human periosteal-derived cells increases along with the mineralization process of the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Recently, it has become important to develop effective material to be used as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Therefore, we fabricated new three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds consisting of biodegradable poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)(75/25) with anti-washout type AC (aw-AC) particles. The aim of this study was to evaluate this new scaffold concerning its basic properties and biocompatibility. The obtained scaffolds were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and measured for porosity, shrinkage and biaxial compressive strengths. It was shown that PLGA with aw-AC composite scaffolds (aw-AC/PL) showed a greater strength and stability than PLGA scaffolds (PL). Also, the mass reduction of aw-AC/PL during incubation decreased compared to that of PL. The number of MC3T3-E1 cell in PL and aw-AC/PL was counted at 5 h, 1 week, and 2 weeks after cell seeding. As a result, aw-AC/PL exhibited a superior performance in terms of attachment and proliferation compared to PL. Histologically, aw-AC/PL showed an excellent response toward soft tissues. Therefore, it was shown that aw-AC/PL was more biocompatible than PL. In conclusion, it was strongly suggested that aw-AC/PL was more useful for cell transplantation than PL in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The in vivo osteoinductive capacity of porous calcium phosphate ceramics (Ca/P ceramics) with special structure and phase composition had been found for almost decades. The mechanism of the osteoinductivity of porous calcium phosphate is studied by C2C12 cells culture in this paper. C2C12 cells were cocultured with four kinds of porous Ca/P ceramics for 2 and 5 days, without adding other growth factors. The four kinds of Ca/P ceramics were pure HA sintered at 1250 degrees C and HA/TCP with a ratio of 60/40 sintered at 1100, 1200, and 1250 degrees C respectively. RT-PCR analysis found that the Ca/P ceramics induced the expression of Cbfa1, collagen type I, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin in C2C12 cells, while they did not induce mRNA expression of Indian hedgehog (IHH) that regulate chondrocyte differentiation. Our results showed that Ca/P ceramics alone were sufficient to induce C2C12 cells differentiation. The induction of bone-related markers expression by Ca/P ceramics in osteoprogenitor cells suggested that the osteogenesis induced by the ceramics was intramembranous and the osteoinductivity was their intrinsic property.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) have the potential to differentiate into a variety of cell lineages both in vitro and in vivo. A novel biodegradable biphasic calcium phosphate nanocomposite (NanoBCP) comprising beta-tricalcium phosphate matrix and hydroxyl apatite nanofibers is favorable for bone tissue engineering. In this study, ASCs were harvested from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and induced to osteogenesis before seeded into porous NanoBCP scaffold. To determine ectopic in vivo osteogenic differentiation, these constructs were implanted in nude mice subcutaneously. Meanwhile, the ability of engineered constructs to stimulate in situ bone repair was assessed in rat critical-size cranial defects. The defects were filled with NanoBCP containing osteogenic ASCs in experimental group; with cell-free NanoBCP in negative controls; and with nothing in blank controls. The retrieved specimens were analyzed with morphological, histological, and molecular methods. Histological analysis of the retrieved specimens from nude mice in experimental group showed obvious ectopic bone formation. There were positive expression of osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) at RNA and protein level. As for the cranial defects, there was complete repair in experimental group, but only partial repair in negative controls. The radiographs, H&E staining, and Masson's trichrome method showed better bone regeneration at experimental sites. Combining osteogenic ASCs with NanoBCP can lead to formation of ectopic new bone. Furthermore, the approach can also stimulate bone regeneration and repair for the large size bone defects.

Abstract
Stem cells or osteogenic precursor cells isolated from bone marrow, trabecular tissues in bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat are the most suitable source for bone tissue engineering. In this study, we investigated the osteogenic phenotypes and mineralization of cultured human periosteal-derived cells obtained from mandibular periosteums. These periosteal-derived cells were positive for CD44, CD90, and CD166 antigens. They are successfully differentiated into osteoblasts in the medium containing dexamethasone, ascorbic acid, and beta-glycerophosphate. We observed that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was largely expressed in the earlier stage of osteoblastic differentiation according to histochemical staining and RT-PCR analysis, whereas osteocalcin was dominantly expressed and secreted into the medium at the later stage. In addition, mineralized nodule formation has been observed by von Kossa staining in a time-dependent manner. These results suggest that periosteal-derived cell has the potential osteogenic activity and could be a good candidate for tissue engineering to restore the bony defects of the maxillofacial region.

Abstract
Dynamic cultivation of scaffolds loaded with undifferentiated stem cells can lead toward osteogenic differentiation in vivo. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of different in vitro cultivation setups on the integration of cell-matrix constructs after subcutaneous implantation. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) were inoculated on clinically approved scaffolds. These cell-matrix constructs were then cultured under static (12 hours or 14 days) or dynamic (14 days) conditions, followed by paravertebral subcutaneous implantation in athymic nude mice. After 2 weeks and 12 weeks the constructs and selected organs were harvested for histological evaluation, and qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Histological analysis showed good integration of cell-matrix constructs independent of culture conditions and a differential effect of static and dynamic in vitro culture on fat cell formation in vivo. Human DNA (hDNA) was detected in explanted cell-matrix constructs at all time points with a significant decrease in human cells on the constructs compared to the initial amount of cells seeded. No hDNA was detected in the explanted organs. In conclusion, we could prove the survival of hMSC on scaffolds after in vitro cultivation and consecutive implantation in vivo. While the amount of adipose tissue increased after static cultivation, we could not achieve osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Currently available options for the repair of bony defects have substantial limitations. Much work has looked to the possibility of engineering bone using stem cells. These tissue-engineering efforts have focused on calvarial defect models, which have the advantages of minimal load-bearing and a large surface area. This study aims to solve the somewhat more challenging problem of repairing segmental bony defects such as those of the mandible and long bones. Four groups of decellularized bone tubes with cortical perforations were implanted subcutaneously in a rabbit model: empty bone tubes, bone tubes containing fibrin glue alone, bone tubes containing fibrin glue and freshly isolated autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), and bone tubes containing fibrin glue and predifferentiated autologous ASCs. Results showed a foreign body response characterized by fibrous capsule formation with minimal angiogenesis and no evidence of osteoblastic activity. Substantial changes are needed if this model is to become viable.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widespread in adult organisms and may be involved in tissue maintenance and repair as well as in the regulation of hematopoiesis and immunologic responses. Thus, it is important to discover the factors controlling MSC renewal and differentiation. Here we report that adult MSCs express functional Toll-like receptors (TLRs), confirmed by the responses of MSCs to TLR ligands. Pam3Cys, a prototypic TLR-2 ligand, augmented interleukin-6 secretion by MSC, induced nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) translocation, reduced MSC basal motility, and increased MSC proliferation. The hallmark of MSC function is the capacity to differentiate into several mesodermal lineages. We show herein that Pam3Cys inhibited MSC differentiation into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic cells while sparing their immunosuppressive effect. Our study therefore shows that a TLR ligand can antagonize MSC differentiation triggered by exogenous mediators and consequently maintains the cells in an undifferentiated and proliferating state in vitro. Moreover, MSCs derived from myeloid factor 88 (MyD88)-deficient mice lacked the capacity to differentiate effectively into osteogenic and chondrogenic cells. It appears that TLRs and their ligands can serve as regulators of MSC proliferation and differentiation and might affect the maintenance of MSC multipotency.
