Hedgehog Signaling Inhibition by Smoothened Antagonist BMS-833923 Reduces Osteoblast Differentiation and Ectopic Bone Formation of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells by Nihal AlMuraikhi (6002234)

“…Effects on in vivo ectopic bone formation were assessed by implanting hMSC mixed with hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate granules subcutaneously in 8-week-old female nude mice, and the amount of bone formed was assessed using quantitative histology. Results. BMS-833923, a SMO antagonist/Hedgehog inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblast differentiation of hMSCs reflected by decreased ALP activity, in vitro mineralization, and downregulation of osteoblast-related gene expression. …”

Corner effects in CFRP-wrapped square columns by Tabbara, Mazen

“…An experimental investigation of the corner sharpness effect in square columns with carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps is presented using traditional compressive testing of short square columns as well as an innovative set-up that allows testing directly for the CFRP strength when wrapped around the corner of a flat slab. Both types of test confirmed the observation that the confinement efficiency decreases as the corner sharpness increases, owing to stress concentrations that cause localised failure of the CFRP.…”
