In vitro colony-forming cells (CFUc) were evaluated in preleukemic and leukemic AK mice. Increased concentrations of CFUc were found in normal appearing marrow of superinfected animals 2-3 wk prior to the onset of lymphoma. CFUc were present in marrows of mice with virus-accelerated, spontaneous, and transplanted lymphoma. CFUc concentration was often increased in mice with advanced disease and marrow replacement by lymphoblasts. When calculated on the basis of CFUc per normal marrow cells, this increase was marked. The colonies developed only in the presence of added colony-stimulating activity (CSA) and had the morphologic features of colonies from normal marrow. Leukemic cells did not form colonies. Lymphoma cells, from virus accelerated, spontaneous and transplanted lymphoma, did not produce CSA in feeder layers or conditioned medium. Leukemic and nonleukemic AK bone were found to produce similar small amounts of CSA. These studies showed that the preleukemic state as well as marrow replacement by lymphoblasts resulted in increased marrow CFUc's. No evidence for increased local production of CSA by lymphoblasts or the marrow microenvironment was found to account for this.

Background: The burden of prosthetic joint infection in combination with antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is a rising dilemma for patients experiencing total joint replacements. Around 0.8-2% of patients experience prosthetic joint infections, while up to 21% of patients are considered fatal cases after 5 years.

Background: Resin composites and dental adhesives are widely used to restore carious teeth. A relatively new category of the dental adhesives, the universal adhesives (UAs) is considered user friendly because of its simplicity to use and compatibility with any adhesive strategy. However, the adhesive interface created by these adhesives is highly susceptible to cracking after polymerization which in turn facilitates the initiation of secondary caries.

Mimicking compositions and structures of extracellular matrix is widely studied to create in vitro tumor models, to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of the different types of cancer, and to identify new therapies. On the other hand, the use of synthetic materials to modulate cancer cell biology and, possibly, to reduce the malignancy of cancer cells through their exploitation is far less explored. Here, the study evaluates the effects of Liquid Crystalline Networks (LCNs) based scaffolds on the growth of A375 metastatic melanoma cells.
