A Primer Genetic Toolkit for Exploring Mitochondrial Biology and Disease Using Zebrafish.

Mitochondria are a dynamic eukaryotic innovation that play diverse roles in biology and disease. The mitochondrial genome is remarkably conserved in all vertebrates, encoding the same 37-gene set and overall genomic structure, ranging from 16,596 base pairs (bp) in the teleost zebrafish () to 16,569 bp in humans. Mitochondrial disorders are amongst the most prevalent inherited diseases, affecting roughly 1 in every 5000 individuals.

MRI Study of Jellyfish Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, and Cadaveric Dermis for Injection Laryngoplasty.

Objectives/hypothesis: Test a new jellyfish collagen biomaterial aimed to increase duration of injection medialization laryngoplasty (IL) against two products in clinical practice.

Study Design: Animal model.

Methods: Left recurrent laryngeal nerve sectioning and IL were performed in New Zealand White rabbits (N = 6/group).

Chondrogenic Predifferentiation Inhibits Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Angiogenic Effect in Pericranium-Derived Spheroids.

Craniofacial reconstruction of critical bone defects typically requires a bone graft. As graft availability may be restricted by disease or comorbidities, tissue engineering approaches are actively sought. The pericranium could provide new bone graft material.
