The promotion of vascularization and angiogenesis in the grafts is a crucial phenomenon in the healing process and tissue engineering. It has been shown that stem cells, especially endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), can stimulate blood vessel formation inside the engineered hydrogels after being transplanted into the target sites. The incorporation of EPCs into the hydrogel can last the retention time, long-term survival, on-target delivery effects, migration and differentiation into mature endothelial cells.

By combining stem cells, biochemical factors, and biomaterials, it encounters challenges in designing complex 3D structures. Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances tissue engineering through computational modeling, biomaterial design, cell culture optimization, and personalized medicine.

In the present study, a recombinant strain of was prepared to use as a potential oral vaccine delivery vehicle. In this sense, a ura3 auxotroph strain of CNCM I-745 (known as HANSEN CBS 5926, Yomogi) was generated using CRISPR/Cas9 methodology.

Introduction: Trauma is one of the causes of peripheral nerve injuries. Free radicals increase after tissue damage. Free radicals are usually scavenged and detoxified by antioxidants.

Recently, some studies have found that UPEC can thrive intracellularly causing recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). Almost all vaccines have been designed to induce antibodies against UPEC.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) bacteria are the principal cause of urinary tract infections (UTI). Because these bacteria propagate intracellularly, the cellular immune response is an important factor in UTIs. Therefore, we designed a genetic construct to induce a cellular immune response.
