Placental decellular matrix (PDM) and PDM combined with cross-linked hyaluronan (XLHA) scaffolds, seeded with primary human adipose-derived stem cells (ASC), were investigated in a subcutaneous athymic mouse model. The in vivo response at 3 and 8 weeks was characterized using histological and immunohistochemical staining. Fibrous capsule formation was assessed and the relative number of adipocytes in each scaffold was quantified. Undifferentiated ASC were localized using immunostaining for human vimentin. Unilocular and multilocular adipocytes were identified by intracellular lipid accumulation. Staining for murine CD31 assessed implant vascularization. Both scaffolds macroscopically maintained their three-dimensional volume and supported mature adipocyte populations in vivo. There was evidence of implant integration and a host contribution to the adipogenic response. The results suggested that incorporating the XLHA had a positive effect in terms of angiogenesis and adipogenesis. Overall, the PDM and PDM with XLHA scaffolds showed great promise for adipose tissue regeneration.

Steatotic liver disease (SLD) represents a multisystem disease and is a common complication of childhood obesity. We studied fat content at the abdominal level (liver, subcutaneous, and visceral) and the response to childhood obesity management. In this retrospective longitudinal study, 8-18-year-olds with a body mass index (BMI) z-score above 1.

Background: The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue has now been widely used in plastic surgeries, clinical trials and therapies. However, the cell composition of SVF undergoes dynamic changes during aging and obesity, which may influence the efficacy of the SVF. This study analyzed the effects of age, harvest site and body mass index on the cell composition of the SVF.

Fibrous dysplasia is a slow-progressing benign condition characterized by abnormal bone formation that leads to some skeletal disorders. Although some of the fibrous dysplasia have unusual clinical and radiographic features that can lead to a challenging diagnosis, most lesions reveal an expansile bone defect due to cortex thinning. This report presented a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of a 43-year-old woman with involvement of the right maxillary jaw and sinuses, which indicated unusual histopathological features.

Production of alternative proteins is crucial for the development of future protein resources. This study explored the creation of sustainable animal resources by combining extrusion molding and three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies. Extrusion effectively organizes vegetable proteins at high temperatures and pressures to replicate meat-like textures, and high-moisture extrusion successfully mimics the fiber structure of conventional meat.

Due to its unique structure, articular cartilage has limited self-repair capacity. Microtissues are tiny tissue clusters that can mimic the function of target organs or tissues. Using cells alone for microtissue construction often results in the formation of necrotic cores.
