Background: Cartilage defects in the knee joint are areas of damage and wear to the cartilage that normally covers and protects the ends of bones. These defects occur due to sudden injuries, such as trauma or sports accidents, or due to chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis. Cartilage acts as a shock absorber (cushion absorber), reducing the impact of mechanical stress on the joints, which helps prevent bone damage during movement.

Osteoarthritis affects approximately 500 million individuals globally, with severe cases often leading to osteochondral defects. Biomimetic collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffolds have been investigated for the treatment of osteochondral defects. However, achieving precise mimicry of the intricate composition, gradient nanostructure, and biological function of native tissue remains a formidable challenge.

Background: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people seek gender-affirming care at any age to manage gender identities or expressions that differ from their birth gender. Gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) and gender-affirming surgery may alter reproductive function and/or anatomy, limiting future reproductive options to varying degrees, if individuals desire to either give birth or become a biological parent.
Objective And Rationale: TGD people increasingly pursue help for their reproductive questions, including fertility, fertility preservation, active desire for children, and future options.
Unicentric Castleman's disease (UCD) typically presents as an asymptomatic tumour in the anterior or middle mediastinum. Occurrence in the paravertebral region is comparatively rare and it requires differentiation from neurogenic tumours by imaging. In our patient, preoperative imaging findings were atypical of schwannoma.
