The uses of bone morphogenetic proteins and parathyroid hormone therapeutics are fraught
with several fundamental problems, such as cost, protein stability, immunogenicity …

The role played by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in contributing to adult tissue
homeostasis and damage repair thanks to their differentiation capabilities has raised a great …

BACKGROUND: The transduction mechanism for non-thermal electromagnetic field (EMF)
bioeffects has not been fully elucidated. This study proposes that an EMF can act as a first …

Retaining or improving periodontal ligament (PDL) function is crucial for restoring
periodontal defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological effects of low …

Introduction In obese humans, Coleus forskohlii root extract (CF) protects against weight
gain owing to the presence of forskolin, an adenylate cyclase (AC) activator. As AC …

In this study, mesenchymal stem cells deriving from dental pulp (DPSCs) of normal human
impacted third molars, previously characterized for their ability to differentiate into …

Abstract Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a rare bone disease of
impaired osteoclastic bone resorption caused by heterozygous missense mutations in the …

Background/Aims: BMP9 is highly capable of promoting osteogenic differentiation of
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) although the molecular mechanism involved is largely …

Although calcium phosphate-containing biomaterials are promising scaffolds for bone
regenerative strategies, the osteoinductive capacity of such materials is poorly understood …

A population of stromal cells that retains osteogenic capacity in adult bone (adult bone
stromal cells or aBSCs) exists and is under intense investigation. Mice heterozygous for a …
