Abstract

Bone Regeneration In article number 2310024, Wenhui Song and co-workers explore how liquid crystalline structures of nanomaterials and signaling pathways influence bone regeneration. Unidirectional liquid crystalline hydroxyapatite nanorods promote stem cell growth and osteogenesis, facilitating the formation of a long-range ordered extracellular matrix and calcium deposits, while the PI3k-Akt pathway, driven by COL1A1 and COL4A6, plays a crucial role.
