Osteoporosis represents a widespread and debilitating chronic bone condition that is increasingly prevalent globally. Its hallmark features include reduced bone density and heightened fragility, which significantly elevate the risk of fractures due to the decreased presence of mature osteoblasts. The limitations of current pharmaceutical therapies, often accompanied by severe side effects, have spurred researchers to seek alternative strategies. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) hold considerable promise for tissue repair, albeit they encounter obstacles such as replicative senescence in laboratory conditions. In comparison, employing ADSCs within three-dimensional (3D) environments provides an innovative solution, replicating the natural extracellular matrix environment while offering a controlled and cost-effective in vitro platform. Moreover, the utilization of photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as a method to enhance ADSC differentiation and proliferation potential by instigating cellular stimulation and facilitating beneficial performance modifications. This literature review critically examines the shortcomings of current osteoporosis treatments and investigates the potential synergies between 3D cell culture and PBM in augmenting ADSC differentiation towards osteogenic lineages. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of combined 3D environments and PBM in enhancing ADSC performance for osteoporosis management. This research is notably distinguished by its thorough scrutiny of the existing literature, synthesis of recent advancements, identification of future research trajectories, and utilization of databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for this literature review. Furthermore, the exploration of biomechanical and biophysical stimuli holds promise for refining treatment strategies. The future outlook suggests that integrating PBM with ADSCs housed within 3D environments holds considerable potential for advancing bone regeneration efforts. Importantly, this review aspires to catalyse further advancements in combined therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis regeneration.
骨质疏松症是一种广泛存在且使人衰弱的慢性骨骼疾病,在全球范围内日益普遍。其标志性特征包括骨密度降低和脆性增加,由于成熟成骨细胞数量减少,这显著增加了骨折风险。当前药物治疗存在局限性,且常常伴有严重副作用,这促使研究人员寻求替代策略。脂肪来源干细胞(ADSCs)在组织修复方面具有很大潜力,尽管在实验室条件下它们会遇到诸如复制性衰老等障碍。相比之下,在三维(3D)环境中使用ADSCs提供了一种创新解决方案,既能复制天然细胞外基质环境,又能提供一个可控且经济高效的体外平台。此外,光生物调节(PBM)的应用已成为一种通过激发细胞刺激和促进有益性能改变来增强ADSCs分化和增殖潜力的方法。这篇文献综述批判性地审视了当前骨质疏松症治疗方法的缺点,并研究了3D细胞培养和PBM在增强ADSCs向成骨谱系分化方面的潜在协同作用。本研究的主要目的是评估3D环境与PBM联合使用在增强ADSCs治疗骨质疏松症性能方面的疗效。这项研究的显著特点在于其对现有文献的全面审查、对最新进展的综合、对未来研究方向的确定,以及在本次文献综述中利用了PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和谷歌学术等数据库。此外,对生物力学和生物物理刺激的探索有望优化治疗策略。未来展望表明,将PBM与3D环境中的ADSCs相结合在推进骨再生研究方面具有很大潜力。重要的是,本综述旨在推动骨质疏松症再生联合治疗策略的进一步发展。
