Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a new external fixator for stabilizing severe mandibular fractures, particularly useful in emergencies.
- In vitro tests were performed on canine mandibles, comparing the novel fixator with traditional reconstruction plates under simulated conditions.
- The results showed no significant differences in stability between the two methods, suggesting the new fixator is equally effective in managing these fractures.
Current clinical approaches to treat irradiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction are ineffective. We previously reported that adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based therapy ameliorates damaged salivary gland function in mice and that the effects were enhanced when the therapy was co-administrated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). We examined the feasibility of ADSC transdifferentiation into salivary gland acinar-like cells (SGALCs) and analyzed the potential of PRF to promote the transdifferentiation process in vitro.
