Muscle-derived fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells for production of cultured bovine adipose tissue.

Cultured meat is an emergent technology with the potential for significant environmental and animal welfare benefits. Accurate mimicry of traditional meat requires fat tissue; a key contributor to both the flavour and texture of meat. Here, we show that fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) are present in bovine muscle, and are transcriptionally and immunophenotypically distinct from satellite cells.

Treatment results and long-term stability of anterior open bite malocclusion.

Objectives: To evaluate treatment results and long-term stability of anterior open bite malocclusion and to identify predictive factors for both treatment results and their stability.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting And Sample Population: The Department of Orthodontics and Oral Biology at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, The Netherlands.

Microdontia after chemotherapy in a child treated for neuroblastoma.

Objective: Chemotherapy used on paediatric oncology patients often causes disturbances in dental development. Aim of this case report is to present the late effects of chemotherapy on dental development in a patient treated for neuroblastoma at early age.

Design: Case report.

The multiply injured child.

The treatment of multiple traumas in children requires knowledge of common injury patterns, incidence, mortality, and the consequences and differences between these injuries in children and adult patients. However, epidemiological studies concerning pediatric multiple trauma are rare. To address this, data were collected and analyzed from 682 multiple trauma patients treated at a Level I trauma center.

Appraisal of early evaluation of blunt chest trauma: development of a standardized scoring system for initial clinical decision making.

Background: Current techniques for assessment of chest trauma rely on clinical diagnoses or scoring systems. However, there is no generally accepted standard for early judgement of the severity of these injuries, especially in regards to related complications. This drawback may have a significant impact on the management of skeletal injuries, which are frequently associated with chest trauma.
