The influence of parathyroid hormone 1-34 on the osteogenic characteristics of adipose- and bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from juvenile and ovarectomized rats (2019)
Journal Article
Osagie-Clouard, L., Sanghani-Kerai, A., Coathup, M., Meeson, R., Briggs, T., & Blunn, G. (2019). The influence of parathyroid hormone 1-34 on the osteogenic characteristics of adipose- and bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from juvenile and ovarectomized rats. https://doi.org/10.1302/2046-3758.88.BJR-2019-0018.R1

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of growing interest in terms of bone regeneration. Most preclinical trials utilize bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs), although this is not without isolation and expansion difficulties. The aim of thi...

The influence of gap size on the development of fracture union with a micro external fixator (2019)
Journal Article
Meeson, R. L., Moazen, M., Sanghani-Keri, A., Osagie-Clouard, L., Coathup, M., & Blunn, G. (2019). The influence of gap size on the development of fracture union with a micro external fixator. Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 99, 161-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2019.07.015

Increasingly, the rat femoral fracture model is being used for preclinical investigations of fracture healing, however, the effect of gap size and its influence on mechanobiology is not well understood. We aimed to evaluate the influence of osteotomy... Read More about The influence of gap size on the development of fracture union with a micro external fixator.

VEGF with AMD3100 Endogenously Mobilizes Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Improves Fracture Healing (2019)
Journal Article
Meeson, R. L., Sanghani-Keri, A., Coathup, M., & Blunn, G. (2019). VEGF with AMD3100 Endogenously Mobilizes Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Improves Fracture Healing. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 37(6), 1294-1302. https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.24164

A significant number of fractures develop non‐union. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy may be beneficial, however, this requires cell acquisition, culture and delivery. Endogenous mobilization of stem cells offers a non‐invasive alternative. The hy... Read More about VEGF with AMD3100 Endogenously Mobilizes Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Improves Fracture Healing.

Spontaneous dog osteoarthritis — a One Medicine vision (2019)
Journal Article
Meeson, R. L., Todhunter, R. J., Blunn, G., Nuki, G., & Pitsillides, A. A. (2019). Spontaneous dog osteoarthritis — a One Medicine vision. Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 15(5), 273-287. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41584-019-0202-1

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a global disease that, despite extensive research, has limited treatment options. Pet dogs share both an environment and lifestyle attributes with their owners, and a growing awareness is developing in the public and among rese...

CXCR4 Antagonism to Treat Delayed Fracture Healing (2019)
Journal Article
Meeson, R. L., Sanghani, A., Coathup, M., & Blunn, G. (2019). CXCR4 Antagonism to Treat Delayed Fracture Healing. https://doi.org/10.1089/ten.TEA.2018.0265

A significant number of fractures develop non-union. Stem cell homing is regulated through SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR4. Stem/progenitor cell populations can be endogenously mobilised by administering growth factors with a pharmacological antagonist... Read More about CXCR4 Antagonism to Treat Delayed Fracture Healing.
