Article Synopsis
  • The fascial system is important for connecting various tissues, but there is still debate regarding its microstructure and clinical significance.
  • This study specifically examines the iliotibial tract (ITT) to describe its microstructural properties, including thickness, layer count, and fibre orientation, using advanced imaging techniques.
  • Findings suggest that the ITT varies in thickness across different regions, typically has 1-3 layers, and features distinct fibre orientations, with the intermediate layer primarily composed of oblique longitudinal fibres.

Last twenties, tissue engineering has rapidly advanced to address the shortage of organ donors. Decellularization techniques have been developed to mitigate immune rejection and alloresponse in transplantation. However, a clear definition of effective decellularization remains elusive.

Introduction: Postmortem evaluation of the human vascular system has a long history, with advancements ranging from dissections to modern imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT scan). This study designs a novel combination of Angiofil, a liquid radiopaque polymer, and latex, a flexible cast material, for cadaveric vascular analysis.

Material & Methods: The aim was to synergize the advantages of both components, providing accurate radiological images and optimal dissection conditions.

Objectives: In addition to bone fragility, patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type III have typical craniofacial abnormalities, such as a triangular face and maxillary micrognathism. However, in the osteogenesis imperfecta mouse (oim), a validated model of OI type III, few descriptions exist of craniofacial phenotype. Treatment of OI mostly consists of bisphosphonate administration.

Large bone defect regeneration remains a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Tissue engineering approaches are therefore emerging in order to overcome this limitation. However, these processes can alter some of essential native tissue properties such as intermolecular crosslinks of collagen triple helices, which are known for their essential role in tissue structure and function.
