摘要:
Toona sinensis extract for suppressing the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of osteosarcoma, but not normal human osterblasts. The extraction process comprises: extracting Toona sinensis with water to obtain a first extract, and filtering the first extract by a membrane to obtain a filtrate, and the Toona sinensis extract of the invention does not cause biological damages of normal bone cells. In addition, the invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the Toona sinensis extract.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a three-dimensional culture containing human articular chondrocytes with induced terminal differentiation changes, as well as a process for preparing the same. The three-dimensional culture, which was found to mimic the biological characteristics of articular chondrocytes that undergo terminal differentiation in vivo, can be used as a tool in the studies of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of osteoarthritis, and in the screening of candidate drugs for use in treatment of a disorder associated with articular chondrocytes.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a bisphosphonates and synthetic polymeric carriers to form a sustained release system. The present invention also provides a method for preparing a sustained release system, comprising activation of the synthetic polymeric carriers and the cross linking reaction. The present invention further provides methods for enhancing stem cell differentiation into osteogenic lineage and chondrogenic lineage, which comprise culturing a population of stem cells in specific micro-environments.
摘要:
A short term controlled release composition which comprises poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) cross-linked alendronate (PLGA-ALN) is provided. The PLGA-ALN is constructed into 3D scaffolds (PLGA-ALN-3D) with pores size of 150-300 μm and average porosity of 85%, or microspheres (PLGA-ALN-M) with 50-100 μm in diameter. The released alendronate concentration is in the range of 5×10−7 M to 5×10−8 M.
