Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) inhibits osteoblast mineralization, but the mechanism by which it does so is not fully understood. Matrix vesicles (MVs) play an essential role in the initiation of mineralization, so the current study examined the effect of FGF2 on the functioning of MVs to investigate this mechanism. This study found that FGF2 significantly inhibited differentiation and miner...

Vitamin A targeting to bones is a suitable treatment for osteoporosis. In this study, we have developed vitamin A-encapsulated liposomes that can be useful to deliver vitamin A to the bones in a selective manner. This liposomal formulation of vitamin A has been found to be stable for >6 months as no significant change in size and charge occurred. Vitamin A liposomes-induced cell proliferation i...

Biodegradable collagen-based materials have been preferred as scaffolds and grafts for diverse clinical applications in density orthopedy. Besides the advantages of using such bio-originated materials, use collagen matrices increases risk infection transmission through cells or tissues graft/scaffold. In addition, solutions are not counted economically feasible approaches due to their high prod...

Background and Aim: Several reports have been published on the successful application of various bone substitute materials (BSM). Appropriate physiologic and histologic characteristics and reactions of these materials against host cells are critically important. In this study, the biocompatibility of a new bone substitute material has been evaluated. Methods and Materials: In this experime...
