    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchyinal stem cell and bone marrow elements On the healing Of meniscal tears. Methods: This study was performed on twelve, 2-year-old male Tahirova sheep. La each subject, one knee was used for experiment purposes and the other knee was used as a control. After creating a longitudinal full-thickness tear in the red-white zone of the medial meniscus, aspirated autologous bone marrow material was injected into the tear site in the experiment group. The control group received no intervention for secondary healing. Results: In the macroscopic evaluation of meniscus, a bridging reparation tissue and adhesion Were observed between the rims of the tear in the experiment group. There was no statistical difference in collagen fibril formation between the groups (p=0.16). There was significantly more neovascularization in the experiment group than the control group (p=0.003). The cell count was also a significantly higher in the experiment group (p=0.004) and formation Of cartilage plaques was More frequent in the experiment group (p=0.016). There was no evidence suggesting intrinsic repair in the meniscus of control group by light and electron microscopy. Conclusion: An injection Of bone marrow into the meniscus tear site improves healing in a meniscal tear model as demonstrated by both light and electron microscopic findings.

    The physiological O-2 microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts and the dimensionality of a substrate are known to be important in regulating cell phenotype and function. By providing the physiologically normoxic environments of bone marrow (5\%) and matrix (12\%), we assessed their potential to maintain stemness, induce osteogenic differentiation, and enhance the material properties in the micropatterned collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds that were produced in 2D or 3D. Expression of osterix (OSX) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) was significantly enhanced in the 3D scaffold in all oxygen environments. At 21\% O-2, OSX and VEGFA expressions in the 3D scaffold were respectively 13,200 and 270 times higher than those of the 2D scaffold. Markers for assessing stemness were significantly more pronounced on tissue culture polystyrene and 2D scaffold incubated at 5\% O-2. At 21\% O-2, we measured significant increases in ultimate tensile strength (p < 0.0001) and Young's modulus (p = 0.003) of the 3D scaffold compared to the 2D scaffold, whilst 5\% O-2 hindered the positive effect of cell seeding on tensile strength. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the 3D culture of MSCs in collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds provided biomimetic cues for bone progenitor cells toward differentiation and enhanced the tensile mechanical properties.
