Abstract
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are of interest in the clinic because of their immunomodulation capabilities, capacity to act upstream of inflammation, and ability to sense metabolic environments. In standard physiologic conditions, they play a role in maintaining the homeostasis of tissues and organs; however, there is evidence that they can contribute to some autoimmune diseases. Gaining a deeper understanding of the factors that transition MSCs from their physiological function to a pathological role in their native environment, and elucidating mechanisms that reduce their therapeutic relevance in regenerative medicine, is essential. We conducted a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of human MSCs in preclinical studies of autoimmune disease, evaluating 60 studies that included 845 patient samples and 571 control samples. MSCs from any tissue source were included, and the study was limited to four autoimmune diseases: multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, and lupus. We developed a novel Risk of Bias tool to determine study quality for in vitro studies. Using the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy's criteria to define an MSC, most studies reported no difference in morphology, adhesion, cell surface markers, or differentiation into bone, fat, or cartilage when comparing control and autoimmune MSCs. However, there were reported differences in proliferation. Additionally, 308 biomolecules were differentially expressed, and the abilities to migrate, invade, and form capillaries were decreased. The findings from this study could help to explain the pathogenic mechanisms of autoimmune disease and potentially lead to improved MSC-based therapeutic applications.

J Bone Miner Metab 2022; 40:9-19. [PMID: 34524525 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-021-01268-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enoxaparin is widely used to prevent venous thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery and has some adverse effects, such as osteoporosis and delay in fracture healing. However, the exact mechanism delaying bone healing by enoxaparin is still unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS X-ray and Micro-CT scanning were performed to detect the effects of enoxaparin on bone healing at rat model of bone defeat. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were conducted to measure the effects of enoxaparin on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The mRNA/protein levels of osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) were analyzed by real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively. Alizarin red staining was used to observe the mineralized nodules. RESULTS Enoxaparin (2000 AXaIU/kg) not only profoundly increased the trabecular separation, but also notably decreased the trabecular bone volume/tissue volume, trabecular thickness, trabecular number and OCN level, in vivo. Additionally, significantly inhibiting proliferation of BMSCs by enoxaparin (1.0 and 10 AXaIU/ml) was detected. The apoptosis and the ratio of G phase cells in enoxaparin (0.1, 1.0 and 10 AXaIU/ml) group were obviously higher than that in control group. While the ratio of S phase cells was downregulated markedly by enoxaparin (0.1,1.0 and 10 AXaIU/ml) compared with the control group. Most importantly, inducing significant decreases of OCN/Runx2 mRNA/protein expression and formation of mineralized nodules by enoxaparin (0.1, 1.0 and 10 AXaIU/ml) were observed compared with the control group. While the notable decreases of BMP2 mRNA/protein level were only detected in enoxaparin (10 AXaIU/ml) group. CONCLUSION It was suggested that enoxaparin impaired bone healing through suppressing the differentiation of BMSCs towards osteoblasts.

Does the application of GaAlAs laser and platelet-rich plasma induce cell proliferation and increase alkaline phosphatase activity in human dental pulp stem cells? Lasers Med Sci 2021; 36:1289-1295. [PMID: 33459924 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-020-03239-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 12/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Blood extracts containing platelet products are gaining popularity in promoting healing and pulp regeneration. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and gallium-aluminum-arsenide (GaAlAs) laser on proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). In this ex vivo study, hDPSCs isolated from impacted mandibular third molars were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium )DMEM(with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). After reaching the desired confluence, the cells were distributed into 4 groups, namely, control, PRP, laser, and PRP+laser for MTT assay and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test. In the PRP and PRP+laser groups, 10% PRP was added to each well on the plate. In the laser and PRP+laser groups, as for the proliferation test, laser irradiation was carried out for 45 s, while 135 s was designated for ALP test. After 1, 3, and 5 days, cell proliferation and ALP activity were assessed using MTT and ALP colorimetric assay, respectively. Two-way ANOVA was utilized to analyze data. In PRP and PRP+laser groups, cell proliferation and viability increased until day 3 but began to decline afterwards until the 5th day. In the laser group, the increase in proliferation and viability was observed till day 5 which was less than the control group. Laser and control groups exhibited significantly higher cell viability and proliferation than both PRP and PRP+laser groups. ALP activity was more pronounced in PRP+laser, PRP, and laser in descending order; however, all were less than that of the control group. Only in the control group did the ALP activity augment during the 5-day period. Laser irradiation could induce pulp cell proliferation and demonstrated a better performance than PRP in this regard.

Abstract
Predictable regeneration of alveolar bone defects has always been a challenge in implant dentistry. Bone allografts are widely used bone substitutes with controversial osteoinductive activity. This in vitro study aimed to assess the osteogenic potential of some commercially available freeze-dried bone allografts supplemented with human recombinant platelet-derived growth factor-BB and transforming growth factor beta-1. Cell viability, mineralization, and osteogenic gene expression of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells were compared among the allograft alone, allograft/platelet-derived growth factor-BB, allograft/transforming growth factor beta-1, and allograft/platelet-derived growth factor-BB/transforming growth factor beta-1 groups. The methyl thiazol tetrazolium assay, real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and alizarin red staining were performed, respectively, for assessment of cell viability, differentiation, and mineralization at 24-72 h post treatment. The allograft with greater cytotoxic effect on MG-63 cells caused the lowest differentiation among the groups. In comparison with allograft alone, allograft/transforming growth factor beta-1, and allograft/transforming growth factor beta-1/platelet-derived growth factor-BB caused significant upregulation of bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin osteogenic mid-late marker genes, and resulted in significantly higher amounts of calcified nodules especially in mineralized non-cytotoxic allograft group. Supplementation of platelet-derived growth factor-BB alone in 5 ng/mL concentration had no significant effect on differentiation or mineralization markers. According to the results, transforming growth factor beta-1 acts synergistically with bone allografts to enhance the osteogenic differentiation potential. Therefore, this combination may be useful for rapid transformation of undifferentiated cells into bone-forming cells for bone regeneration. However, platelet-derived growth factor-BB supplementation did not support this synergistic ability to enhance osteogenic differentiation and thus, further investigations are required.

Abstract
Articular cartilage defects are a major clinical burden worldwide. Current methods to repair bone defects include bone autografts, allografts and external fixation. In recent years, the repair of bone defects by tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach. The present study aimed to assess a novel method using a biological reactor with platelet-rich plasma to construct tissue-engineered bone. Beagle bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and differentiated into osteoblasts and chondroblasts using platelet-rich plasma and tricalcium phosphate scaffolds cultured in a bioreactor for 3 weeks. The cell scaffold composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and implanted into beagles with articular cartilage defects. The expression of osteogenic markers, alkaline phosphatase and bone γ-carboxyglutamate protein (BGLAP) were assessed using polymerase chain reaction after 3 months. Articular cartilage specimens were observed histologically. Adhesion and distribution of BMSCs on the β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold were confirmed by SEM. Histological examination revealed that in vivo bone defects were largely repaired 12 weeks following implantation. The expression levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and BGLAP in the experimental groups were significantly elevated compared with the negative controls. BMSCs may be optimum seed cells for tissue engineering in bone repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) provides a rich source of cytokines to promote BMSC function. The β-TCP scaffold is advantageous for tissue engineering due to its biocompatibility and 3D structure that promotes cell adhesion, growth and differentiation. The tissue-engineered bone was constructed in a bioreactor using BMSCs, β-TCP scaffolds and PRP and displayed appropriate morphology and biological function. The present study provides an efficient method for the generation of tissue-engineered bone for cartilage repair, compared with previously used methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, a regulator of CA IX activity, is often overexpressed in human osteosarcoma (OS) but not in normal tissues, and its expression levels correlate with prognosis. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of newly synthesized CA IX sulfonamide inhibitors in OS. METHODS CA IX expression was evaluated in OS cell lines and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC). After treatment with CA IX inhibitors, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, extracellular and cytosolic pH changes were evaluated both in vitro and in mouse OS xenografts. RESULTS CA IX expression levels were significantly higher in OS than in BMSC. Accordingly, CA IX inhibitor 3 induced remarkable cytotoxicity on OS cells without affecting BMSC proliferation. This activity was increased under hypoxia, and was mediated by cell cycle arrest and by the modulation of cytosolic and extracellular pH. In vivo, CA IX inhibitor 3 reduced tumor growth by inducing significant necrosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide a strong rationale for the clinical use of the newly synthesized CA IX inhibitor 3 in human OS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically review the current literature for evidence that would substantiate the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. METHODS We performed a systematic search in PubMed and Embase of studies written in the English and Spanish languages that compared the use of PRP with a control group in patients with ACL injuries assessing graft-to-bone healing, graft maturation, and/or clinical outcomes and were randomized controlled trials or prospective cohort studies. RESULTS Eleven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, comprising 516 patients (266 ACL reconstructions using PRP and 250 ACL reconstructions without PRP). Six studies reported a statistically significant difference (4 studies) or tendency toward faster graft maturation in the platelet group (2 studies). One study found no differences. Regarding tunnel healing/widening, 1 study showed faster healing in the PRP group and 5 studies showed no differences between the 2 groups. Considering clinical outcomes, 1 study showed better clinical outcomes with PRP use and 5 studies showed no benefits with the use of PRP. CONCLUSIONS Concerning ACL graft maturation, there is promising evidence that the addition of PRP could be a synergic factor in acquiring maturity more quickly than grafts with no PRP, with the clinical implication of this remaining unclear. Regarding tunnel healing, it appears that there is not an improvement with the addition of PRP. There is no proof that clinical outcomes of ACL surgery are enhanced by the use of PRP. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, systematic review of Level I through III studies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED QUESTION/AIM: Cell-based therapy by cultivated stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells [MSC] and endothelial progenitor cells [EPC]) in a large-sized bone defect has already shown improved vascularization and new bone formation. However, these methods are clinically afflicted with disadvantages. Another heterogeneous bone marrow cell population, the so-called human bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMC), has nevertheless been used clinically and showed improved vascularization in ischemic limbs or in the myocardium. For clinical use, a certified process has been established; thus, BMC were isolated from bone marrow aspirate by density gradient centrifugation, washed, cleaned, and given back to patients within several hours. This investigation tested the ability of human BMC seeded on beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and placed into a large bone defect in rats to improve the bone healing process in vivo. METHODS Human EPC were isolated from buffy coat, and MSC or BMC, respectively, were isolated from bone marrow aspirate by density gradient centrifugation. 1.0×10(6) cells were loaded onto 750 μL β-TCP (0.7-1.4 mm). Large femoral defects (6 mm) in athymic rats were created surgically and stabilized with an internal fixateur. The remaining defects were filled with β-TCP granules alone (group 1), β-TCP+EPC/MSC (group 2), or β-TCP+BMC (group 3). After 8 weeks, histomorphometric analysis (new bone formation), radiological microcomputer tomography analysis (bony bridging), and biomechanical testing (three-point bending) were achieved. Moreover, a tumorigenicity study was performed to evaluate the safety of BMC implantation after 26 weeks. For statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. RESULTS Eight weeks after implantation of EPC/MSC or BMC, respectively, we detected a more significant new bone formation compared to control. In group 2 and 3, bony bridging of the defect was seen. In the control group, more chondrocytes and osteoid were detected. In the BMC and EPC/MSC group, respectively, less chondrocytes and a significantly more advanced bone formation were observed. The biomechanical stability of the bone regenerate was significantly enhanced if BMC and EPC/MSC, respectively, were implanted compared to control. Moreover, no tumor formation was detected either macroscopically or histologically after 26 weeks of BMC implantation. DISCUSSION Implanted BMC suggest that a heterogeneous cell population may provide a powerful cellular therapeutic strategy for bone healing in a large bone defect in humans.

Abstract
Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMCs) are suitable for bone tissue engineering. Comparative data regarding the needs of BMC for the adhesion on biomaterials and biocompatibility to various biomaterials are lacking to a large extent. Therefore, we evaluated whether a surface coating would enhance BMC adhesion and analyze the biocompatibility of three different kinds of biomaterials. BMCs were purified from human bone marrow aspirate samples. Beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, without coating or coated with fibronectin or human plasma), demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and bovine cancellous bone (BS) were assessed. Seeding efficacy on β-TCP was 95% regardless of the surface coating. BMC demonstrated a significantly increased initial adhesion on DBM and β-TCP compared to BS. On day 14, metabolic activity was significantly increased in BMC seeded on DBM in comparison to BMC seeded on BS. Likewise increased VEGF-synthesis was observed on day 2 in BMC seeded on DBM when compared to BMC seeded on BS. The seeding efficacy of BMC on uncoated biomaterials is generally high although there are differences between these biomaterials. Beta-TCP and DBM were similar and both superior to BS, suggesting either as suitable materials for spatial restriction of BMC used for regenerative medicine purposes in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Some cases of tooth loss related to dental trauma require bone-grafting procedures to improve the aesthetics before prosthetic rehabilitation or to enable the installation of dental implants. Bone regeneration is often a challenge and could be largely improved by mesenchymal stem cells therapy. However, the appropriate scaffold for these cells still a problem. This study evaluated the in vivo effect of human adipose-derived stem cells incorporated into autogenous platelet-rich plasma in bone regeneration and maturation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from lipoaspirate tissues and used at passage 4. Immunophenotyping and multilineage differentiation of cells were performed and mesenchymal stem cells characteristics confirmed. Bicortical bone defects (10 mm diameter) were created in the tibia of six beagle dogs to evaluate the effect of adipose-derived stem cells incorporated into platelet-rich plasma scaffolds, platelet-rich plasma alone, autogenous bone grafts, and clot. Samples were removed 6 weeks postsurgeries and analyzed by quantification of primary and secondary bone formation and granulation tissue. RESULTS Adipose-derived stem cells incorporated into platelet-rich plasma scaffolds promoted the highest bone formation (primary + secondary bone) (P < 0.001), the highest bone maturation (secondary bone) (P < 0.001), and the lowest amount of granulation tissue (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Adipose-derived stem cells incorporated into platelet-rich plasma scaffolds promote more bone formation and maturation, and less granulation tissue in bone defects created in canine tibia. Therefore, platelet-rich plasma can be considered as a candidate scaffold for adipose-derived stem cells to promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to radiographically analyze the effect of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) on the healing of fresh frozen bone allograft (FFBA) placed in surgically created resection defects in mandibles of dogs. Bilateral resection defects measuring 1.5 cm × 1 cm were surgically created on the inferior border of the mandible in 10 adult male dogs. The defects were randomly divided into three groups: C, FFBA, and FFBA/PRP. In Group C, the defect was filled by blood clot only. In Group FFBA, the defect was filled with particulate fresh frozen bone allograft. In Group FFBA/PRP, it was filled with particulate fresh frozen bone allograft combined with PRP. At 90 days postoperative, standardized radiographs of the mandibles were obtained and results were quantitatively evaluated. Analysis of digitized radiographs indicated that non-PRP grafts were significantly less dense than the PRP grafts. Group FFBA/PRP also presented a statistically greater mineralized tissue area than Groups C and FFBA. Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that PRP enhanced the healing of FFBA in resection defects in mandibles of dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS An extensive debate about the clinical benefits of autologous platelet concentrates used as a treatment option for patients with orthopedic injuries is ongoing. The aim of this study was to determine whether different compositions of platelet concentrates may affect the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC). METHODS Pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) and leukocyte-PRP (L-PRP) were characterized for platelet and leukocyte content. As an indicative marker of the delivery of growth factors (GFs), the release of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from platelet gel (PG) was measured at 1, 18, 48 and 72 h and at 7 d. The ability of different PGs to induce proliferation and differentiation of BMSC was evaluated by using bioactivity assays. RESULTS The platelet recovery was significantly higher in L-PRP, either fresh or frozen. PGs derived from L-PRP and P-PRP showed significant differences in terms of bFGF release and biological activity. bFGF release was faster both in fresh and frozen L-PRP preparations. Moreover, L-PRP samples were able to induce a significantly higher proliferation of BMSC compared with P-PRP or PPP samples. Even though all PG preparations allowed the deposition of mineral nodules in BMSC cultures, the mineralization activity correlated significantly with bFGF levels. CONCLUSIONS The biological activity of platelet concentrates differs according to preparation technique, which affects platelet and leukocyte content and GF availability. Because GF levels are not always optimal in subjects with defective bone healing, composition and bioactivity of PRP should be analyzed to test the reliability and potential effectiveness of the regenerative treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is becoming a new application in tissue engineering and a developing area for clinicians and researchers because it is a natural source of growth factors, many of which can accelerate and promote bone regeneration. However, few studies have reported the potentiality of using PRP as a scaffold in bone tissue engineering. The present study investigated the feasibility of using PRP as a scaffold to carry bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) to repair calvarial defects in a rabbit model. STUDY DESIGN The primary cultured BMSCs were divided into 2 groups. One group was induced with dexamethasone and the other was not induced. Full-thickness bone defects of 5-mm diameter (4 defects per calvarium) were created on the calvaria of 10 New Zealand white rabbits. PRP or whole blood was used, respectively to incorporate the induced or uninduced BMSCs. Then, the composites were activated and applied to repair the defects. The samples were harvested 8 weeks later and bone regeneration was assessed grossly and analyzed by radiographic or histologic examination. RESULTS Eight weeks after the implantation of the materials, substantial bone regeneration was observed at the calvarial defect restored with PRP incorporating the induced BMSCs. Less new bone formation was observed at the defect implanted with PRP incorporating the uninduced BMSCs. In contrast, no bone regeneration was detected at the defects implanted with the whole blood incorporating BMSCs, whether the BMSCs were induced or not. CONCLUSIONS PRP can be used as a scaffold to carry in vitro expanded BMSCs to repair a rabbit's calvarial defect, but its inductive ability to BMSCs was limited.

Abstract
The reciprocal influence and bidirectional cross-talk between bone and energy metabolism is a recent finding, since the discovery that the product of osteoblasts osteocalcin increases pancreatic β-cell proliferation, insulin secretion and sensitivity. Conversely, the anabolic effect of insulin is crucial for osteoblast function, as suggested by severe osteopenia and increased incidence of fracture in insulin-deficient diabetic patients. The Insulin Receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase, which is commonly expressed in the insulin-sensitive liver, muscle, and adipose tissues, is also found in animal and human bone. Here we show that in human bone two insulin receptor isoforms (IR-A and IR-B) are differently expressed. Mature human osteoblasts predominantly express IR-B, whereas IR-A is mainly expressed in osteoblast precursors, and IR-B/IR-A mRNA ratio significantly increases along the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal precursors. Moreover, transfected osteoprogenitors overexpressing IR-A show an increased proliferation rate. In contrast, when transfected with and overexpressing IR-B, their proliferation rate is reduced, corresponding to a more differentiated phenotype. In conclusion, the fine regulation of the expression of different isoforms of IR during osteogenic differentiation confirms the important role played by IR in bone homeostasis, providing the basis for new perspectives on the various involvements of IR isoforms in bone pathophysiology.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study histomorphometrically analyzed the effect of autogenous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on healing of fresh frozen bone allograft (FFBA) in bony defects in rat calvaria. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 5mm-diameter defect was created in the calvarium of 30 rats. Animals were divided into three groups: C (defect was filled by blood clot only), FFBA (defect was filled with 0.01mL of FFBA), and FFBA/PRP (defect was filled with 0.01mL of FFBA combined with 100µL of PRP). All animals were euthanized at 30 days postoperatively. Histomorphometry and histology analyses were performed. Data were statistically analyzed (analysis of variance, Tukey, p<.05). RESULTS FFBA had a statistically smaller new bone area than groups FFBA/PRP and C. No statistically significant differences were observed between groups FFBA and FFBA/PRP with regard to remaining bone graft particle area. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that (1) PRP improved the incorporation of FFBA, increasing the amount of new bone formed; (2) PRP has not influenced the resorption of nonviable particles of the FFBA; and (3) presence of remaining FFBA particles might have accounted for the smaller amount of new bone observed in group FFBA when compared with control group.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically review the current evidence for the effects of platelet concentrates on (1) graft maturation and (2) graft-bone interface healing in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in human, controlled trials and for ensuing differences in clinical outcomes. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was performed for controlled trials of human ACL reconstruction with and without platelet concentrates. Data validity was assessed, and data were collected on graft maturation, graft-bone interface healing, and clinical outcome. RESULTS Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Seven studies reported on graft maturation with significantly better outcomes in the platelet groups in 4, and there were large differences in means in an additional 2 studies. Five studies reported on tunnel healing, and 4 found no difference between groups. Three studies assessed clinical outcome but found no differences, regardless of whether they had shown a beneficial effect (1 of 3) or no effect (2 of 3) of platelets on graft and tunnel healing. CONCLUSIONS The current best evidence suggests that the addition of platelet concentrates to ACL reconstruction may have a beneficial effect on graft maturation and could improve it by 20% to 30% on average, but with substantial variability. The most likely mode of action is that treatment with platelets accelerates graft repopulation and remodeling, and this interpretation is supported by the existing data and is biologically plausible. However, the current evidence also shows only a very limited influence of platelet concentrates on graft-bone interface healing and no significant difference in clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, systematic review of Level I, II, and III studies.

Abstract
Ultrathin films (also called nanofilms) are two-dimensional (2-D) polymeric structures with potential application in biology, biotechnology, cosmetics and tissue engineering. Since they can be handled in liquid form with micropipettes or tweezers they have been proposed as flexible systems for cell adhesion and proliferation. In particular, with the aim of designing a novel patch for bone or tendon repair and healing, in this work the biocompatibility, adhesion and proliferation activity of Saos-2, MRC-5 and human and rat mesenchymal stem cells on poly(lactic acid) nanofilms were evaluated. The nanofilms did not impair the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Moreover, nanofilm adhesion to rabbit joints was evident under ex vivo conditions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of standardized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) concentrates from 10 human donors on cellular behavior. The standardized PRPs used were fivefold average and fivefold maximum baseline values in whole blood. Both these standardized PRPs were characterized by determining platelet numbers and subsequently growth factor concentrations in activated PRPs, called PRP derivatives. Platelet numbers in both types of standardized PRPs were significantly increased compared with whole blood. Further, both PRP derivatives contained significantly higher concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor-AA, platelet-derived growth factor-AB, and transforming growth factor-beta 1. Vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations were significantly elevated in only the most concentrated PRP derivative. Cell culture experiments with osteoblast-like cells showed that both PRP derivatives stimulated cell proliferation without inducing cell differentiation, whereas tube formation in endothelial cell cultures was significantly increased by adding low volume percentages of PRP derivative (2%–8%). Consequently, it can be concluded that there is no direct relationship between the number of platelets and the level of growth factors released from these platelets. PRP derivatives have the potency to stimulate angiogenesis dose dependently, while lacking the capacity to induce osteogenic differentiation. Yet, the proliferation of osteoblast-like cells can significantly be enhanced by supplementation of PRP derivatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study in goats was to test the hypothesis that a novel synthetic bone substitute beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) can work as well as autologous bone harvested from the iliac crest for grafting and repair of alveolar clefts. DESIGN Ten adult Dutch milk goats (Capra hircus) were used in a split-mouth study design. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Volumetric histologic assessment of new bone formation and radiographic measurement of orthodontic movement of teeth in a formerly created alveolar cleft. CONCLUSIONS The synthetic bone substitute β-TCP was shown to result in bone healing similar to that of iliac crest bone. The surgical, orthodontic, and histologic results now warrant the testing of β-TCP in the human cleft situation.

Abstract
Autologous platelet gel, which is usually prepared by adding thrombin and calcium to a platelet concentrate, is used to accelerate bone repair as a possible alternative to recombinant growth factors (GF), through the osteogenic GF released from alpha-granules. The advantages of platelet gel lie in its mimicking the GF effects of the physiological bone healing and regenerative processes, in addition to a relatively simple and low cost technique. Moreover, if autologous platelet gel is used, immunological reactions are avoided. In in vitro systems, platelet gel stimulated osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells, while it inhibited complete osteoclast differentiation and activation. Moreover, platelet gel favoured endothelial cell proliferation and expression of pro-osteogenic functions. In experimental animals and in clinical application, the efficacy of platelet gel was increased by the combination with bone allografts, acting as scaffolds, and with bone marrow stromal cells.

Abstract
Translational research, which can be explained as the principle of combining advances in both basic research and clinical understanding in a bedside-to-bench-to-bedside approach, has become one of the central themes of present-day medical research. One orthopedic problem that has strongly benefited from such an approach is tissue-engineering-enhanced primary repair of the anterior cruciate ligament. Recent years have shown a clearer definition of the clinical problem and established an underlying mechanistic cause of the incapacity of the anterior cruciate ligament to heal-the premature loss of provisional scaffold in the wound site. These clinical findings were then translated into a research objective, namely, to replace the missing scaffold with a biomaterial with appropriate structural and bio-stimulatory characteristics. Subsequently, a tissue-engineering-based treatment using a collagen-platelet composite was developed and tested in vitro. After proofing the efficacy of this new treatment in the laboratory, it was translated into a potential clinical application, which showed highly successful results in structural integrity and biomechanical capacity in large animal testing. This approach of defining the scientific mechanism underlying a clinical observation and then using that information to design new therapies is but one example of how translational research in tissue engineering can help define and develop new treatments for challenging problems faced by patients.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used to accelerate bone repair through the growth factors released by platelets. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if PRP induce human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to express mRNA for osteogenic growth factors and stimulate the migration of bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC). The effects of PRP were compared to those induced by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) or, as a negative control, by platelet poor plasma (PPP). After incubation with PRP, but not with PPP, HUVEC showed an increased expression of mRNA for platelet derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B), and this effect was not inhibited by an anti-VEGF-A antibody. The migration of BMSC was more stimulated by HUVEC incubated with PRP than by HUVEC incubated with low serum medium or PPP. Besides, PRP increased the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and osteoprotegerin, but did not affect the expression either of the receptor activator for nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) or of RANK. These findings support the hypothesis that PRP contribute to bone repair by favoring the pro-osteogenic function of endothelial cells, including the recruitment of osteoblast precursors and the expression of adhesion molecules for monocyte/macrophages, while inhibiting their pro-osteolytic properties.
