Chronic hard-to-heal wounds pose a significant threat to patients' health and quality of life, and their clinical management remains a challenge. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) have shown promising results in promoting diabetic wound healing. However, effectively enhancing the retention of exosomes in wounds for treatment remains a key issue that needs to be addressed.

With the increasing prevalence of bone tissue diseases, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting applied to bone tissue engineering for treatment has received a lot of interests in recent years. The research and popularization of 3D bioprinting in bone tissue engineering require bioinks with good performance, which is closely related to ideal material and appropriate construction form. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the inorganic component of natural bone and has been widely used in bone tissue engineering and other fields due to its good biological and physicochemical properties.

Muscle tissue engineering is a promising therapeutic strategy for volumetric muscle loss (VML). Among them, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) biological scaffolds have shown certain effects in restoring muscle function. However, researchers have inconsistent or even contradictory results on whether dECM biological scaffolds can efficiently regenerate muscle fibers and restore muscle function.

Maternal immune activation (MIA) is closely related to the onset of autism-like behaviors in offspring, but the mechanism remains unclear. Maternal behaviors can influence offspring's development and behaviors, as indicated in both human and animal studies. We hypothesized that abnormal maternal behaviors in MIA dams might be other factors leading to delayed development and abnormal behaviors in offspring.

Objectives: Asymmetry in a retrusive cleft-side ala situated posterior, lateral, and/or inferior to the non-cleft ala is aggravated by ipsilateral defect of the pyriform aperture. This study assessed diced costal cartilage graft combined with muscle repositioning in enhancing structural base and alar symmetry in secondary cleft rhinoplasty.

Methods: From 2016 to 2019, 20 consecutive patients who underwent pyriform aperture paranasal augmentation combined with muscle repair secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty were reviewed retrospectively.

Mutations within the gene, which encodes a key postsynaptic density (PSD) protein at glutamatergic synapses, contribute to the genetic etiology of defined autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), including Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) and intellectual disabilities (ID). Although there are a series of genetic mouse models to study gene in ASDs, there are few rat models with species-specific advantages. In this study, we established and characterized a novel rat model with a deletion spanning exons 11-21 of , leading to a complete loss of the major SHANK3 isoforms.
