Early BMP, Wnt and Ca(2+)/PKC pathway activation predicts the bone forming capacity of periosteal cells in combination with calcium phosphates
Journal Article
Bolander, J., Chai, Y. C., Geris, L., Schrooten, J., Lambrechts, D., Roberts, S. J., & Luyten, F. P. (in press). Early BMP, Wnt and Ca(2+)/PKC pathway activation predicts the bone forming capacity of periosteal cells in combination with calcium phosphates. Biomaterials, 106-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2016.01.059

The development of osteoinductive calcium phosphate- (CaP) based biomaterials has, and continues to be, a major focus in the field of bone tissue engineering. However, limited insight into the spatiotemporal activation of signalling pathways has hamp...

Sox9 reprogrammed dermal fibroblasts undergo hypertrophic differentiation in vitro and trigger endochondral ossification in vivo
Journal Article
Tam, W. L., Df, O., Hiramatsu, K., Tsumaki, N., Luyten, F. P., & Roberts, S. J. (in press). Sox9 reprogrammed dermal fibroblasts undergo hypertrophic differentiation in vitro and trigger endochondral ossification in vivo. Cellular Reprogramming, 16(1), 29-39. https://doi.org/10.1089/cell.2013.0060

Strategies for bone regeneration are undergoing a paradigm shift, moving away from the replication of end-stage bone tissue and instead aiming to recapture the initial events of fracture repair. Although this is known to resemble endochondral bone fo...
