Aim Of The Study: Thrombocytes contain different growth factors. Their potential use for increasing bone regeneration is currently under discussion. Basic data about the biologic effect of platelet concentrates (platelet-rich plasma, PRP) are still lacking. This study analyzes the in vitro effect of PRP on the proliferation rate of human osteoblast-like cells (OLC).
Material And Method: Human OLC were stimulated with thrombocytes in different dilutions (0-1,700,000 thrombocytes/microliter). Three days later a WST test (Roche Diagnostics) was performed to measure the mitochondrial syntheses and cellular proliferation rate.
Results: The proliferation rate of the OLC was (concentration-dependent) increased up to a certain plateau by adding thrombocytes. Further stimulation led to a slight decrease in the proliferation rate. The statistical analysis of the extinction measurements showed significant differences in the cell proliferation rates between mostly all thrombocyte concentration groups (p < 0.0001). Moreover, a statistically significant difference was evaluated for the time-dependent change in extinction (0-5 h) (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: This study shows that the proliferation rate of human OLC can be stimulated in vitro by concentration-dependent platelet concentrates. This in vitro result supports the currently discussed assumption that the clinical use of PRP might increase bone regeneration.

Background: Tissue engineering holds promise for vascular repair and regeneration by mimicking the extracellular matrix of blood vessels. However, achieving a functional and thick vascular wall with aligned fiber architecture by electrospinning remains a significant challenge.
Methods: A novel electrospinning setup was developed that utilizes an auxiliary electrode and a spring.

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary system. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, the compromised therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic agents, such as Oxaliplatin (OXA), remains a major clinical challenge. Thus, a combination therapy is required to enhance the OXA's therapeutic effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor characterized by the glioma stem cell (GSC) niche. The V-ATPase proton pump has been described as a crucial factor in sustaining GSC viability and tumorigenicity. Here we studied how patients-derived GSCs rely on V-ATPase activity to sustain mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell growth.

The pro-tumor effects of mast cell (MC) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are becoming increasingly clear. Recently, MC were shown to contribute to tumor malignancy by supporting the migration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), suggesting a relationship with tumor immunity. In the current study, we aimed to examine the correlation between MC infiltration and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) response for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).

Social isolation is a risk factor for cognitive impairment. Adolescents may be particularly vulnerable to these effects, because they are in a critical period of development marked by significant physical, hormonal, and social changes. However, it is unclear if the effects of social isolation on learning and memory are similar in both sexes or if they persist into adulthood after a period of recovery.
