Objective: This study was to observe the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on new bone formation in a rat mandibular osteodistraction model.
Material And Methods: Autologous bone marrow stem cells were obtained from tibiae of 40 male rats. Two weeks after cell harvest, the rats underwent right mandibular distraction and were then randomly divided into two groups (group A=20, group B=20). After distraction was complete, the stem cells were injected into the distracted gaps in group A, while the rats in group B only received physiological saline. Twenty rats (10 from each group) were sacrificed on postoperative days 27 and 55, respectively. The distracted mandibles were harvested and processed for radiographic, histological and histomorphometric analysis.
Results: The radiodensity of the distraction zone was higher in group A than in group B at both time points. Histologically callus was found in both groups but more bone was formed in group A. Histomorphometric analysis also demonstrated that both new bone volume and thickness of the new trabeculae were significantly greater in group A than in group B.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation may be considered as a potential method to accelerate bone regeneration in the distraction gap, and enhance consolidation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the most important methods for treating a wide range of hematologic malignancies and bone marrow failure diseases. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a major complication associated with this method, can seriously affect the survival and quality of life of patients. Acute GVHD (aGVHD) occurs within 100 days after transplantation, and gastrointestinal aGVHD (GI-aGVHD) is one of the leading causes of nonrecurrent death after allo-HSCT.

The applications of single-cell and spatial technologies in recent times have revolutionized the present understanding of cellular states and the cellular heterogeneity inherent in complex biological systems. These advancements offer unprecedented resolution in the examination of the functional genomics of individual cells and their spatial context within tissues. In this review, we have comprehensively discussed the historical development and recent progress in the field of single-cell and spatial genomics.

Natural bone is a self-regenerating nanocomposite made of proteins and minerals. Such self-regenerative capacity can be negatively affected by certain diseases involving the bone or its surrounding tissues. Our study assesses the ability of bone grafting material to regenerate bone in animals who have artificially created critical-sized defects.

Maternal obesity puts the offspring at high risk of developing obesity and cardio-metabolic diseases in adulthood. Here, we utilized a mouse model of maternal high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity that recapitulates metabolic perturbations seen in humans. We show increased adiposity in the offspring of HFD-fed mothers (Off-HFD) when compared to the offspring regular diet-fed mothers (Off-RD).

Unlabelled: The tonsils have been identified as a site of replication for Epstein-Barr virus, adenovirus, human papillomavirus, and other respiratory viruses. Human tonsil epithelial cells (HTECs) are a heterogeneous group of actively differentiating cells. Here, we investigated the cellular features and susceptibility of differentiated HTECs to specific influenza viruses, including expression of avian-type and mammalian-type sialic acid (SA) receptors, viral replication dynamics, and the associated cytokine secretion profiles.
