Article Synopsis
- Scientists are trying to fix injuries in the area where bone and cartilage meet, which is hard because these two parts are very different.
- They are creating special materials (called scaffolds) that help stem cells grow properly and turn into the right kinds of cells needed for healing.
- The new scaffolds work like a natural environment, helping the stem cells move to where they need to go and helping them change into bone and cartilage tissues in tests with rats and rabbits.
Low protein (LP) diets may increase the occurrence of damaging behaviours, like tail biting, in pigs. We investigated the effect of supplementing a LP diet with indispensable amino acids (IAA) or environmental enrichment on tail biting. Undocked pigs (n = 48 groups of 12) received either a normal protein diet (NP), a LP, LP with supplemented IAA (LP), or LP diet with extra environmental enrichment (LP-E) during the starter, grower, and finisher phase.

However, controlled differentiation of BMSCs towards cartilaginous phenotypes to heal full-thickness cartilage defects remains challenging. This study investigates how different surface properties induced by either coating deposition or biomolecules immobilization onto nanofibers (NFs) could affect BMSCs chondro-inductive behavior.
