Short-term transplantation effect of a tissue-engineered meniscus constructed using drilled allogeneic acellular meniscus and BMSCs.

During the construction of tissue-engineered meniscus, the low porosity of extracellular matrix restricts the flow of nutrient solution and the migration and proliferation of cells, thus affecting the tissue remodeling after transplantation. In this study, the canine allogeneic meniscus was drilled first and then decellularized. The drilled tissue-engineered menisci (Drilled Allogeneic Acellular Meniscus + Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells, BMSCs) were transplanted into the knee joints of model dogs.

RNA-Seq Analysis of the Effect of Zinc Deficiency on , Gene Is Important for Growth and Pathogenicity.

, a common pathogenic skin fungus, can cause dermatophytosis in humans and animals. Zinc is an important trace element and plays an important role in the growth and metabolism of fungi. Currently, the effects of zinc deficiency on growth, gene expression, and metabolic pathway have not been clarified in .

Transcriptome analysis of the transdifferentiation of canine BMSCs into insulin producing cells.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are a potential resource for the clinical therapy of certain diseases. Canine, as a companion animal, living in the same space with human, is an ideal new model for human diseases research. Because of the high prevalence of diabetes, alternative transplantation islets resource (i.

Parathyroid hormone (1-34) promotes the effects of 3D printed scaffold-seeded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on meniscus regeneration.

Background: Cell-based tissue engineering represents a promising management for meniscus repair and regeneration. The present study aimed to investigate whether the injection of parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-34) could promote the regeneration and chondroprotection of 3D printed scaffold seeded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a canine total meniscal meniscectomy model.

Methods: 3D printed poly(e-caprolactone) scaffold seeded with BMSCs was cultured in vitro, and the effects of in vitro culture time on cell growth and matrix synthesis of the BMSCs-scaffold construct were evaluated by microscopic observation and cartilage matrix content detection at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days.

Gene Is Important for Growth and Pathogenicity.

is a common fungal pathogen that causes human and animal dermatophytosis. Previous studies have shown that zinc deficiency inhibits growth, and the gene of can code the functionally similar zinc finger transcriptional factor that can promote zinc ion absorption; however, the impact of on virulence and pathogenicity remains undetermined. To assess its gene function, the mutant, ZafA-hph, and the complemented strain, ZafA+bar, were constructed via -mediated transformation.
