In vitro extracorporeal shock wave treatment enhances stemness and preserves multipotency of rat and human adipose-derived cells

In vitro extracorporeal shock wave treatment enhances stemness and preserves multipotency of rat and human adipose-derived cells

Background aims: Adipose-derived progenitor/cells (ASCs) are discussed as a promising candidate for various tissue engineering approaches. However, its applicability for the clinic is still difficult due to intra- and inter-donor heterogeneity and limited life span in vitro, influencing differentiation capacity...

Impact of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy on the stability of temporary anchorage devices in adults

Impact of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy on the stability of temporary anchorage devices in adults

Introduction: In this randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we investigated the effect of noninvasive extracorporeal shock waves on the stability of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) under orthodontic loading. Methods: Thirty adult orthodontic patients of the Bernhard Gottlieb University Clinic in Vienna, Austria,...

Unfocused extracorporeal shock waves induce anabolic effects in osteoporotic rats

Unfocused extracorporeal shock waves induce anabolic effects in osteoporotic rats

Unfocused extracorporeal shock waves (UESW) have been shown to have an anabolic effect on bone mass. Therefore we investigated the effects of UESW on bone in osteoporotic rats with and without anti-resorptive treatment. Twenty-week-old rats were ovariectomized (n = 27)....
