Abstract:

Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopy technique that provides a global biochemical signature and has been shown to have utility in the analysis of biological cells for bone tissue engineering applications. Traditionally, sample analysis in this field employs destructive biological methods that require the use of biomarkers, however, Raman has since become an essential tool in various areas of bio-industry and by incorporating the technique into biological laboratories these perturbing methodologies are no longer the only means of analysis. Therefore the focus of this study was to in

Abstract:

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are components of the bone marrow stem cell niche and to a minor extent of mature bone tissue with important functions in regulating stem cell lineage commitment and differentiation.

A set of gradually sulfated chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronan derivatives was used for the preparation of aECM. All these matrices were analysed with human

Abstract:

Aging is the consequence ofan array of phenotypic variations that appear to involve intrinsic or constitutional properties in all cells and systems, including qualitative and quantitative alterations in development, maturational structure and function. The aging process in bone involves a set ofchanges in bone cells differentiation, interaction and premature death. Osteoblasts are the cells most affected during the aging process in bone due to their complex mechanisms ofdifferentiation, their interaction with honnones and growth factors and their progression to apoptosis.

Abstract:

Ceramics used for medical purposes are known as bioceramics, such as hydroxyaptite (HA), which is one of the most well studied bioceramics because of its similar composition to human bone and also good biocompatibility, is bioactive and has excellent osteoconductivity. In addition many properties of HA can be improved by the addition of specific elements into its structure. The research in this thesis investigates the substitution of some selected elements into the structure of HA and subsequent characterisation in terms of physical, mechanical and biological responses.

Abstract:

Both excitable and non-excitable cells possess plasma membrane ion channels and evidence has accumulated over the last 30 or so years that these channels perhaps play key roles in the cell life and death. This Thesis investigated the characteristics and putative functions of one class of potassium channel, the BK channel in osteoblast-like cells and primary osteoblasts from human, rat and mouse. The properties and functions were defined in vitro using a combination of patch-clamp, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and functional assays for cell growth and mineralisation.

Abstract:

Biomaterial surface energy, chemical composition, charge, wettability and roughness all play an important role in determining the degree of the direct bone-to-implant interface, termed osseointegration. Surface chemistry, which is influenced by surface energy, wettability, and composition, is another factor that determines osteoblast phenotype and regulates osteoblast maturation. Increased surface energy is desirable for bone implants due to enhanced interaction between the implant surface and the biological environment. The extent of bone formation in vivo is also increased with increasing wa

Abstract:

Prolonged periods of non-weightbearing activity result in a significant loss of bone mass which increases the risk of fracture with the initiation of mechanical loading. The loss of bone mass is partially driven by declines in bone formation yet the mechanisms responsible for this decline are unclear. To investigate the limitations of osteoblasts during disuse, marrow ablation was superimposed on hindlimb unloaded mice. Marrow ablation is a useful model to study osteoblast functionality as new cancellous bone is rapidly formed throughout the marrow of a long bone while hindlimb unloading is

Bones provide mechanical support for movement and normal daily functions, which can only be provided when healthy. Bone diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer are a worldwide problem affecting millions of people and causing significant financial impact.

ABSTRACTExtracellular matrix mineralization is a physiological process where hydroxyapatite is deposited onto collagenous matrix. Mineralization is initiated by an increase in phosphate concentration in the matrix and one major regulator of this process is alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Absence of TNAP in hypophosphatasia patients and TNAP knockout mouse models significantly decreases matrix mineralization; however some mineral is deposited indicating that additional mechanisms exist to increase phosphate levels.

Abstract:

The number of hip replacement operations performed is currently increasing due to the ageing population and the need for revision surgery after around 15 years. Improving the materials used for hip replacements would decrease the need for revision surgery and have an important economic effect as well as increasing quality of life for patients. To ensure the success and longevity of a bone implant, osteoblast cells must adhere and differentiate on the implant material to form a tight junction with the surface.

Tissue transglutaminase has been previously localized in bone to osteoblasts, the osteoid layer and the pericellular matrix of osteocytes.

In an EF, TE85 cells re-orientated and the long axis of cells were perpendicular to the vector of the electric field. This reorienting response showed voltage-dependence and could be blocked by the MAPK inhibitor U0126. Both growth factor bFGF and VEGF played an important rol

Modulation of PGs by inhibition or stimulation is a promising approach for the management of pain and inflammation in patients with rheumatic disease.

Our results show that the PGD[subscript 2] decreases the osteoblasts proliferation acting probably through the CRTH2 receptor. Surprisingly, when DK-PGD[subscript 2] was used alone or with Naproxen, although the proliferation decreased with the dose, it see

Current thought in the field is that statins stimulate bone formation through the depletion of GGPP, since exogenous GGPP prevents the effects of statins on osteoblasts in vitro.
