Expression profile of microRNAs in bovine lymphocytes infected with Theileria annulata and treated with buparvaquone.

Several miRNA-based studies on Theileria-transformed bovine cells have been conducted; however, the mechanism by which transformed cells exhibit uncontrolled proliferation is not yet fully understood. Therefore, it is necessary to screen more microRNAs that may play a role in the transformation process of host cells infected with Theileria annulata to better understand the transformation mechanisms of Theileria-infected cells. RNA sequencing was used to analyze miRNAs expression in the host bovine lymphocytes infected with T.

Engineering probiotic-derived outer membrane vesicles as functional vaccine carriers to enhance immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

Because of the continued emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, there has been considerable interest in how to display multivalent antigens efficiently. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) can serve as an attractive vaccine delivery system because of their self-adjuvant properties and the ability to be decorated with antigens. Here we set up a bivalent antigen display platform based on engineered OMVs using mCherry and GFP and demonstrated that two different antigens of SARS-CoV-2 could be presented simultaneously in the lumen and on the surface of OMVs.

Development of biodegradable Zn-Mn-Li and CaP coatings on Zn-Mn-Li alloys and cytocompatibility evaluation for bone graft.

Zn-based alloys are considered as new kind of potential biodegradable implanted biomaterials recently. The difficulty of metal implanted biomaterials and bone tissue integration seriously affects the applications of metal implanted scaffolds in bone tissue-related fields. Herein, we self-designed Zn0.

Microporous structures on mineralized collagen mediate osteogenesis by modulating the osteo-immune response of macrophages.

It is a new hot pot in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to study the effects of physicochemical properties of implanted biomaterials on regulating macrophage polarization to promote bone regeneration. In this study, we designed and fabricated mineralized collagen (MC) with different microporous structures via biomimetic mineralization method. The microporous structures, mechanical properties, shore hardness and water contact angle measurements were tested.

Macrophage-Derived Exosomes Promote Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells Towards Osteoblastic Fate Through microRNA-21a-5p.

The effective healing of a bone defect is dependent on the careful coordination of inflammatory and bone-forming cells. In the current work, pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages were co-cultured with primary murine bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), , to establish the cross-talk among polarized macrophages and BMSCs, and as well as their effects on osteogenesis. Meanwhile, macrophages influence the osteogenesis of BMSCs through paracrine forms such as exosomes.

Enhancement of BMP-2 and VEGF carried by mineralized collagen for mandibular bone regeneration.

Repairing damage in the craniofacial skeleton is challenging. Craniofacial bones require intramembranous ossification to generate tissue-engineered bone grafts via angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Here, we designed a mineralized collagen delivery system for BMP-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for implantation into animal models of mandibular defects.

The observed difference of macrophage phenotype on different surface roughness of mineralized collagen.

Biomaterials regulate macrophages and promote regeneration function, which is a new hot pot in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The research based on macrophage materials biology has appeared happy future, but related research on regulating macrophages and promoting tissue regeneration is still in its infancy. The surface roughness of biomaterials is one of the important factors affecting macrophage behavior.

Comparison of rabbit rib defect regeneration with and without graft.

Rib segment, as one of the most widely used autologous boneresources for bone repair, is commonly isolated with an empty left in the defect. Although defective rib repair is thought to be unnecessary traditionally, it's of vital importance actually to promote rib regeneration for patients with better postoperative recovery and higher life quality. Comparative investigations on rabbit rib bone regeneration with and without graft were reported in this article.
