In addressing the intricate challenges of enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) treatment, such as internal bleeding, effluent leakage, inflammation, and infection, our research is dedicated to introducing a regenerative adhesive hydrogel that can seal and expedite the healing process. A double syringe setup was utilized, with dopagelatin and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in one syringe and Laponite and sodium periodate in another. The hydrogel begins to cross-link immediately after passing through a mixing tip and exhibits tissue adhesive properties.

The conventional technique for successful bone grafts, involving the use of a patienťs own tissue (autografts), is challenged by limited availability and donor site morbidity. While allografts and xenografts offer alternatives, they come with the risk of rejection. This underscores the pressing need for tailor-made artificial bone graft materials.

Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) developed ex vivo and in vitro are increasingly used for therapeutic screening. They provide a more physiologically relevant model for drug discovery and development compared to traditional cell lines. However, several challenges remain to be addressed to fully realize the potential of PDOs in therapeutic screening.

As miniaturized and simplified stem cell-derived 3D organ-like structures, organoids are rapidly emerging as powerful tools for biomedical applications. With their potential for personalized therapeutic interventions and high-throughput drug screening, organoids have gained significant attention recently. In this review, we discuss the latest developments in engineering organoids and using materials engineering, biochemical modifications, and advanced manufacturing technologies to improve organoid culture and replicate vital anatomical structures and functions of human tissues.

A rate of 14C-amino acids incorporation into mitochondrial proteins was studied during necrosis of myocardium developed after intraperitoneal injection of (-)isoproterenol to 1-, 3- and 6 months old rats. The rate of label incorporation into the outer membranes fraction was decreased in all the age groups studied, whereas incorporation of the label into the fraction of inner membranes was increased in myocardium of 1 month old rats and decreased in other age groups. Proteins of mitochondrial inner membrane were fractionated by means of electrophoresis in 10% polyacrylamide gel.
