Background: In general the traditional static seeding method has its limitation while the dynamic seeding method reveals its advantages over traditional static method. We compared static and dynamic seeding method for human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) in bone tissue engineering.
Methods: DNA assay was used for detecting the maximal initial seeding concentration for static seeding. Dynamic and static seeding methods were compared, when scaffolds were loaded with hBMSCs at this maximal initial cell seeding concentration. Histology and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were examined to evaluate the distribution of cells inside the constructs. Markers encoding osteogenic genes were measured by fluorescent RT-PCR. The protocol for dynamic seeding of hBMSCs was also investigated.
Results: DNA assay showed that the static maximal initial seeding concentration was lower than that in dynamic seeding. Histology and SEM showed even distribution and spread of cells in the dynamically seeded constructs, while their statically seeded counterparts showed cell aggregation. Fluorescent RT-PCR again showed stronger osteogenic potential of dynamically seeded constructs.
Conclusion: dynamic seeding of hBMSCs is a promising technique in bone tissue engineering.

In this study, the role of a transition metal complex in improving hydrolysis efficiency during nanocellulose production was analysed. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were extracted from date seeds by incorporating a copper metal complex during HCl hydrolysis. In contrast to traditional HCl hydrolysis at moderate conditions, which yielded only microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), this approach resulted in the extraction of CNCs with a 10 % improved yield compared to MCC.

Background: Hederagenin (HG), derived from ivy seeds, is known to offer protection against Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the specific molecular pathways through which it counters ferroptosis-induced neurotoxicity are not fully elucidated. This investigation seeks to delineate the processes by which HG mitigates neurotoxic effects in HT22 cells subjected to glutamate (Glu)-induced ferroptosis.

Background: Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, are characterized as intracellular lesions composed of aggregated tau proteins. Soluble tau oligomers are shown to be one of the most toxic species and are responsible for the spread of tau pathology. Recent studies have found that several proteins such as amyloid b, a-synuclein, and TDP-43 can aggregate tau.

Background: Pathological tau forms from Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains act as seeds, replicating in cells and forming tau aggregates in a template-like manner. The exploration of this prion-like pathogenic mechanism has predominantly occurred in transgenic mice and cell systems that overexpress tau protein and its truncated forms with pro-aggregation mutations. However, these systems do not entirely capture the propagation kinetics and template conformational changes of various tau seeds.
