Human-animal chimera research has gradually evolved to the present day, in which large projects related to the attempt to solve pathologies that help us human beings to alleviate diseases. However, it must be considered that many of these advances in science imply an important ethical dilemma in many cases, and even more so if we involve people in said experiments. In the present systematic review we sought to identify these ethical problems related to chimeras, as well as possible solutions to them proposed in the literature, including technical means for the realization of less humanized chimeras.

This study explored the effects of 's ingredients on the major lipids' hepatic profile and the functional selective differentiation of monocyte-derived macrophages and innate lymphoid cells in mice on a high-fat diet. Six-week-old Rag2 and Rag2Il2 mice received (12 days) a low-molecular-weight protein fraction (LWPF) or the lipid fraction (qLF) obtained from the cold pressing of 's germen. At the end of the experiment, mouse serum and liver tissue were collected.

It is acknowledged that nephron develops after bilateral induction of the metanephric mesenchyma and branching ureteric bud (UB), and that nephrogenic rest and Wilms' tumor (nephroblastoma) arises from impaired differentiation of metanephric blastema. The aim of this study was to obtain more information on the involvement of UB derivatives in nephrogenic rest and Wilms' tumor. We applied immunohistochemistry to analyze nephrogenic rests and Wilms' tumors with mixed histology, including regressive and blastemal types.

Purpose: To reveal the molecular mechanism underlying degeneration in human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells with dysfunctional mitochondrial homeostasis.
Methods: The expression of recently identified miR-494-3p in extracellular vesicles (EV) released from induced-pluripotential-stem-cell-derived human RPE (iPS-hRPE), during coculture with macrophages (Mps) was investigated in iPS-hRPE and ARPE cells differentiated in the presence of nicotinamide (Nic-ARPE). The expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), sirtuin3 (SIRT3), and mitochondrial marker proteins before and after the transfection of miR-494-3p inhibitor and mimic, and the changes in mitochondrial metabolism, membrane potential, and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) were monitored.
