Objective: To study the effect of rat osteoblast conditioned culture medium on the BMSCs differentiation of allogeneic rat and to find a new approach to provide seed cells for bone tissue engineering.
Methods: BMSCs and osteoblasts were harvested from 10 healthy one-week-old SD rats (male and female, weighing 20-30 g) by adherent method and enzyme digestion method respectively. Cell identification was conducted. Osteoblast conditioned culture medium was prepared by mixing supernatant of osteoblasts at passage 1-5 with complete medium (1:1). Then, BMSCs at passage 2 were co-cultured with osteoblast conditioned culture medium (inducement group) and complete medium (control group), respectively. The morphological changes of co-cultured BMSCs were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, the growth condition of BMSCs was detected by MTT method, the expressions of ALP, Col I and osteocalcin (OCN) in the co-cultured BMSCs were tested by immunohistochemistry staining, and the expressions of Col I and OCN mRNA were detected by RT-PCR.
Results: In the inducement group, BMSCs grew bigger, changing from long fusiform to flat and polygon with protuberance 7 days after co-culture; the presence of cell colony-like growth was observed 9 days after co-culture. Cell growth curve demonstrated that the counts of BMSCs was increased with time, there were more cells in the control group than that of the inducement group, and there was a significant difference in cell counts between the control and the inducement group 4-7 days after co-culture (P < 0.05). For the inducement group, ALP staining was positive 12 days after co-culture, the calcium nodules were appeared 18 days after co-culture, Col I and OCN were positive 21 days after co-culture, and the expressions of Col I and OCN mRNA were detected by RT-PCR 21 days after co-culture.
Conclusion: Rat osteoblast conditioned culture medium can significantly induce the differentiation of allogeneic rats' BMSCs towards osteoblasts.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes prominent deposition of extracellular matrix molecules, particularly the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (CSPG) member neurocan. In tissue culture, neurocan impedes the properties of oligodendrocytes. Whether therapeutic reduction of neurocan promotes oligodendrogenesis and functional recovery in ICH is unknown.

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy using ionizing radiation (IR) are promising options for organ-preserving treatment of bladder cancer (BCa). A combination therapy (IR+PDT) could be beneficial for BCa treatment.
Purpose: For PDT, we used the near-infrared photosensitizer tetrahydroporphyrin-tetratosylate (THPTS) showing high therapeutic efficacy.

During the late laying period, the intestinal barrier of laying hens is susceptible to damage, resulting in enteric infections and even systemic inflammatory responses, posing a major challenge for the poultry industry. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate methods for addressing intestinal inflammation in late laying hens. In order to maximize the production potential of egg laying chickens, farmers usually use various feed additives to prevent damage to the intestinal barrier.

Multilayer paper-based cell culture, as an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) cell culture method, has been frequently used to research drug bioavailability, therapeutic efficacy, and dose-limiting toxicity in malignant tumors. This paper proposes a heterogenous multilayer paper stacking co-culture system to establish a model of natural killer (NK) cells moving through the endothelium layer and attacking tumor spheroids. This system consists of three layers: a bottom tumor-spheroid layer, a middle invasion layer, and a top endothelium layer.
