Full-Thickness Perfused Skin-on-a-Chip with In Vivo-Like Drug Response for Drug and Cosmetics Testing.

In this study, we present a novel 3D perfused skin-on-a-chip model fabricated using micro-precision 3D printing, which offers a streamlined and reproducible approach for incorporating perfusion. Perfused skin models are well-regarded for their advantages, such as improved nutrient supply, enhanced barrier function, and prolonged tissue viability. However, current models often require complex setups, such as self-assembled endothelial cells or sacrificial rods, which are prone to variability and time-consuming.

Unveiling the Nutritional Quality of Terrestrial Animal Source Foods by Species and Characteristics of Livestock Systems.

It is well-established that a range of macronutrients, micronutrients and bioactive compounds found in animal-source foods play unique and important roles in human health as part of a healthy diet. This narrative review focuses on terrestrial animal source foods (TASFs). It particularly analyzes five groups: poultry eggs, milk, unprocessed meat, foods from hunting and wildlife farming, and insects.

Stabilization of 82 sacroiliac luxations in 67 cats using two sacroiliac screws (2014-2023).

Objective: To describe sacroiliac luxation stabilization in cats using two screws and to report clinical and radiographic short-term outcomes.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical cohort study.

Sample Population: Cats (n = 67) with sacroiliac luxation.

Infected wound repair correlates with collagen I induction and NOX2 activation by cold atmospheric plasma.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a promising complement to tissue repair and regenerative medicine approaches. CAP has therapeutic potential in infected cutaneous wounds by mechanisms which remain enigmatic. Here, CAP is shown to activate phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex NOX2.
