Deriving human intestinal organoids with functional tissue-resident macrophages all from pluripotent stem cells.

Background & Aims: Organs of the gastrointestinal tract contain tissue-resident immune cells that function during tissue development, homeostasis, and disease. However, most published human organoid model systems lack resident immune cells, thus limiting their potential as disease avatars. For example, human intestinal organoids (HIOs) derived from pluripotent stem cells contain epithelial and various mesenchymal cell types but lack immune cells.

Surveillance of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms for progression to pseudomyxoma peritonei: Results from a structured surveillance programme.

Aim: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) of the appendix is a rare tumour that can progress to pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). There is a lack of standardization of surveillance following resection of LAMN as the progression rate to PMP is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of progression following resection of LAMN to PMP in a structured surveillance programme.

Physical and Surface Chemical Analysis of High-Quality Antimicrobial Cotton Fabrics Functionalized with CuO Gown from Different Copper Salts: Experimental and Theoretical Approach.

The emergence of harmful microorganisms poses a public health challenge. Antimicrobial cotton textiles with semiconductor oxides offer a promising solution to mitigate pathogen spread. Here, we study the physicochemical interactions between copper oxides (CuO) and cellulose in cotton fiber functionalized with these same oxides for antimicrobial properties.

Cienciometric Analysis of Scientific Production on Hydatidosis/Echinococcosis in Latin America.

Introduction: Hydatidosis/cystic echinococcosis (CE) is considered a neglected disease due to its preventive nature and impact on low-income populations. In Latin America, there is a high incidence, and in the high Andean regions, it is considered an endemic disease. The objective of this study was to quantify and analyze the scientific production of hydatidosis/echinococcosis through a bibliometric analysis in Latin America up to 2022.
