Millions of people worldwide suffer from trauma-or age-related orthopedic diseases such as
osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or cancer. Tissue Engineering (TE) and Regenerative Medicine …

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is characterized by the formation of bone at atypical sites. This
type of ectopic bone formation is most prominent in skeletal muscle, most frequently …

Peptides can introduce new functions to biomaterials but their immobilization usually relies
on inefficient physical adsorption or tedious chemical conjugation. Using the Bombyx mori …

Current bone implants based on new biomaterials may cause a foreign body reaction (FBR)
around the implant itself thus prolonging the healing time following bone fractures. In this …

Liver diseases with different pathogenesis share common pathways of immune-mediated
injury. Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) was induced in both acute and chronic liver …

The immune and skeletal systems share common mechanisms, and the crosstalk between
the two has been termed osteoimmunology. Osteoimmunology mainly focuses on diseases …

Background: Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of
eukaryotic gene expression and have been shown to regulate various modular components …

The reduced number of circulating stem/progenitor cells that is found in chronic kidney
disease (CKD) patients may contribute to impaired angiogenic repair and decreased …

Objectives. Bones constitute organs that are engaged in constant self‐remodelling.
Osteoblast and osteoclast homeostasis during remodelling contribute to overall skeletal …

Aims Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased trabecular bone volume, and
microarchitectural deterioration in the medullary cavity. Interleukin-19 (IL-19), a member of …
