Effect of ibuprofen on osteoblast differentiation of porcine bone marrow-derived progenitor cells.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and pain. However, little is known about the direct effect of these drugs on the differentiation of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells into osteoblasts. ... Read more...

Osterix enhances BMSC-associated osseointegration of implants.

30 Oct 2009 Cellular and molecular events in osseointegration at the dental implant surface remain largely unknown. We hypothesized that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) participate in this process, and that osterix (Osx) promotes implant osseointegration. To ... Read more...

Cocultures of osteoblasts and osteoclasts are influenced by local application of zoledronic acid incorporated in a poly(D,L-lactide) implant coating.

29 Sep 2009 The antiresorptive activity of bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid (ZOL) has been shown in vitro to be because of their effect on osteoclasts and osteoblasts. However, whether the effect of ZOL on monocultures might be reproducible on cocultures ... Read more...
