We evaluated the effects of each pathway on the properties of engineered bone grafts and their capacity to drive bone regeneration. Bone-marrow-derived MSCs were differentiated on silk scaffolds into either hypertrophic chondrocytes (hyper) or osteoblasts (osteo) over 5 weeks of in vitro cultivation, and were implanted subcutaneously for 12 weeks. The pathways' constructs were evaluated over time with respect to gene expression, composition, histomorphology, microstructure, vascularization and biomechanics. Hypertrophic chondrocytes expressed higher levels of osteogenic genes and deposited significantly more bone mineral and proteins than the osteoblasts. Before implantation, the mineral in the hyper group was less mature than that in the osteo group. Following 12 weeks of implantation, the hyper group had increased mineral density but a similar overall mineral composition compared with the osteo group. The hyper group also displayed significantly more blood vessel infiltration than the osteo group. Both groups contained M2 macrophages, indicating bone regeneration. These data suggest that, similar to the body's repair processes, endochondral pathway might be more advantageous when regenerating large defects, whereas intramembranous ossification could be utilized to guide the tissue formation pattern with a scaffold architecture.}, subject = {bone tissue engineering}, language = {en} } @article{FeichtingerHeimelTangletal., author = {Feichtinger, Xaver and Heimel, Patrick and Tangl, Stefan and Keibl, Claudia and N{\"u}rnberger, Sylvia and Schanda, Jakob Emanuel and Hercher, David and Kocijan, Roland and Redl, Heinz and Grillari, Johannes and Fialka, Christian and Mittermayr, Rainer}, title = {Improved biomechanics in experimental chronic rotator cuff repair after shockwaves is not reflected by bone microarchitecture}, series = {PLoS One}, volume = {17}, journal = {PLoS One}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0262294}, subject = {chronic rotator cuff repair}, language = {en} }
