• GT | ARTIFICIAL BONES: Engineers Create Bone that Blends into Tendons: Skin cells have been used to create artificial bones that mimic the ability of natural bone to blend into other tissues, such as tendons or ligaments. The artificial bones display a gradual change from bone to softer tissue rather than the sudden shift of previously developed artificial tissue, allowing them to handle weight more successfully. The technology was implanted in vivo for several weeks. The engineers created the tissue by coating a three-dimensio nal polymer scaffold with a gene delivery vehicle that encodes a transcription factor known as Runx2. They generated a high concentration of Runx2 at one end of the scaffold, and decreased that amount until they ended up with no transcription factor on the other end. They then seeded skin fibroblasts uniformly onto the scaffold. The skin cells on the parts of the scaffold with a high concentration of Runx2 turned into bone, while the skin cells on the scaffold end with no Runx2 turned into soft tissue.

• Injured? Horsing Around With Stem Cells May Get You Back in the Saddle: Doctors might soon be able to regrow injured muscles, tendons and bones without invasive surgery, simply by injecting a person's own stem cells into the site of an injury. Veterinarians are already doing it with injured horses, and research into human applications is well under way.
