Background: The utilization of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) derived from animal testis tissue has demonstrated potential as a component of tissue-specific scaffolds. Current research is mostly centered around dECM as a natural resource for culturing testicular cells. This study aimed to assess firstly the comparison of Voytik-Harbin (VH) and Frytes protocol in creating Ram's dECM testis hydrogel and secondly the evaluation of the best protocol effect on spermatogenesis.

is a foodborne pathogen of animal and public health significance. Considering the disadvantages of antibiotics or chemical preservatives traditionally used to eliminate this pathogen, attention has shifted, in recent years, toward biocontrol agents such as bacteriophages, used either separately or in combination to prevent food contamination. However, extensive use of phage-based biocontrol agents in the food industry requires further studies to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Aging is physiologically associated with a decline in the function of the immune system and subsequent susceptibility to infections. Interferon-gamma (IFN-), a key element in the activation of cellular immunity, plays an important role in defense against virus infections. Decreased levels of IFN- in the elderly may explain their increased risk for viral infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
