Summary: Osteoimmunology involves crosstalk between the skeletal and immune systems. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in bone remodeling by directly impacting MSC osteogenic differentiation. Understanding TLRs' role has significant implications for advancing bone regeneration and repair strategies.

Summary: Tunable mechanical properties of hydrogels play a key role in regulating stem cell differentiation. By modulating cellular spatial sensing of integrin-adhesive ligands on low stiffness hydrogels, the mechanosensing and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs can be promoted to levels comparable with those observed on stiffer hydrogels. This approach opens up new possibilities for designing biomaterials and tissue scaffolds for regenerative therapeutics.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of hematopoietic cells on MSCs and found that partial deletion of the Pten gene in hematopoietic cells can lead to abnormal differentiation of MSCs. There is a reciprocal relationship between hematopoietic cells and MSCs, with an important role in bone development.

Summary: In this study, TNS3 was found to be involved in the fate decision of human bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs), regulating osteogenesis and adipogenesis through the control of RhoA activity and cytoskeletal reorganization. The findings highlight the crucial role of TNS3 in bone metabolism.

Summary: The combination of static magnetic field and magnetic materials provides a remote, minimally invasive, and uncomplicated treatment method for bone tissue repair. In this study, silk fibroin hydrogel was used to control the mobility of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs), and polyacrylic acid was employed to modify the Fe3O4 NPs to reduce oxidative stress. The results showed that SF hydrogel containing Fe3O4@PAA NPs reduced intracellular ROS-induced damage and improved cell activity.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from different stages of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity of naive hBMSCs. The results showed that EVs from late-stage osteogenic differentiated hBMSCs promoted osteogenic potential in naive hBMSCs and inhibited their adipogenic differentiation. Proteomic analysis revealed distinct protein profiles in EVs from osteogenic and naive hBMSCs.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of nanoscale spacing by stacked graphene film on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. The results showed that osteogenic differentiation was promoted as the stacking layer increased, with the most significant effects observed in the three layers. The study demonstrated that multilayer-stacked graphene created nanoscale spaces promote calcium deposit and cytoskeletal integrity in hADSC-related, in vitro-osteogenesis.

Summary: The study found that aging impairs the proliferative and osteogenic capacities of MSC, but exposure to ECM derived from young cells can help rejuvenate aged MSC. The ECM plays a crucial role in the quantity and quality of MSC, especially in terms of osteogenic differentiation capacity.

Summary: The demand for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies is increasing, and this paper proposes a multiscale population balance model for the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in a rotating wall bioreactor. The model incorporates key genes and metabolic pathways and captures spatial and cell cycle heterogeneity within the hydrogels. The model predictions are adequate and can be used for bioreactor and bioprocess optimization.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of different viscoplastic ECM mimics on the osteogenic engagement of MSCs. By developing a soft hydrogel, it was found that the presence of temporary cross-links led to early osteogenic commitment of MSCs, while purely elastic hydrogels required a longer time for differentiation to occur.

Summary: Excess body weight is beneficial to bone health but leads to poor bone structure. This study found that children with obesity have a higher amount of circulating extracellular vesicles, which results in adipogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stromal cells and a reduction in differentiation markers in mature osteoblasts. Regular physical exercise can partially restore the bone phenotype by decreasing the levels of circulating extracellular vesicles in obese children.

Summary: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) hold great potential for cellular therapies and can differentiate into endothelial cells (ECs) and other angiogenic cell types. Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) hydrogel is a suitable matrix for 3D cell culture of ASCs and can stimulate angiogenesis. This study recommends the use of NFC hydrogel as an animal-free biomaterial scaffold for therapeutic angiogenesis and other cell therapy purposes.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of obesity on the cellular features of equine endometrial progenitor cells. It found that obesity leads to a decline in cell proliferation, metabolic activity, and an increase in oxidative stress. Obesity also alters the expression of functional markers and impairs the regenerative capacity of endometrial progenitor cells.

Summary: Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor that mainly affects children and elderly people. The primary treatment methods for osteosarcoma are still underdeveloped, leading to poor survival rates. This study aimed to establish the expression profile of molecular markers related to osteosarcoma survival, progression, and metastasis. The findings may facilitate the selection of reliable cellular models for pre-clinical investigations on osteosarcoma therapy development.
