Tendon injuries present significant medical, social, and economic challenges globally. Despite advancements in tendon injury repair techniques, outcomes remain suboptimal due to inferior tissue quality and functionality. Tissue engineering offers a promising avenue for tendon regeneration, with biocompatible scaffolds playing a crucial role.

The climate-based degradation rates are estimated using a physics-based model that considers the different parameters influencing the PV reliability. Three different locations representing three different climate zones (hot and dry, hot and humid, and moderate climates) have been chosen in this study.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is accompanied by progressive cognitive disorders and memory loss. This study aims to determine the combined effects of conditioned medium of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (CM) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on AD model rats.
Methods: Forty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were classified into 6 groups: Control, Sham, AD, and three treatment groups.
Bone regeneration can be accomplished through osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the properties of the PRF scaffold with tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles in socket preservation in an animal model. Fabrication of PRF performed.

Axonal and neuronal degenerations have basic molecular pathways. The remyelination process can be influenced by the secretome of mesenchymal stem cells due to their capacity for immunomodulation, differentiation, and neuroprotection.
