TL;DR: Modulate MMP-2 levels by mechanical loading of MSCs embedded in a three-dimensional matrix as well as investigate the mechanism of M MP-2 regulation along with its contribution to angiogenesis stimulation to conclude that an application of these loading parameters could augment vascularization of tissue-engineered constructs based on the described Mmp-2-dependent mechanism.

TL;DR: The local application of IGF-I and TGF-β1 by a PDLLA-coated cage significantly improved results of interbody bone matrix formation in a dose-dependent manner, and the best dose-response relationship was achieved with the medium growth factor dose.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of the heterogeneity of the hard callus on the strain patterns at six successive secondary fracture healing stages in sheep with a tibial osteotomy.

TL;DR: The 16s rDNA test offers reliable intraoperative detection of all bacterial species within 25 minutes with a sensitivity and specificity comparable with those of conventional microbiological culture of synovial fluid for the detection of PJI.

TL;DR: The findings did not support the idea that JLE is a major contributor to midflexion instability for this particular ultra-congruent implant design, and it is concluded that the anterior ligament portions are unlikely to slacken in mid Flexion and Jle is unlikely to contribute greatly.
