This study was designed to trace bone marrow-derived stromal cells (MSC) after implantation in an ectopic rat model of bone tissue engineering. MSC were isolated from adult donor rats, expanded, seeded on a hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate bone graft substitute (Straumann® BoneCeramic), and cultivated until confluent. Before subcutaneous implantation of seeded constructs and controls (unseeded bone graft substitute) in isogenic rats (n = 32), cells were labeled with the fluorescent dye carboxyfluoresceine-diacetate-succinimidyl-ester. Specimens were harvested at sacrifice on day 1, 3, 7, or 14 after implantation (n = 8 per group) and processed for histology (hematoxylin and eosin, CD68, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindol). Carboxyfluoresceine-diacetate-succinimidyl-ester-labeled transplanted cells were quantified in decalcified sections (50 fields of view per specimen) at 488 nm. Over time, transplanted cells decreased in number from 31.3 ± 2.3 (day 1) to 9.2 ± 1.1 (day 3) and 0.3 ± 0.1 (day 7) (p < 0.001). Fourteen days postimplantation MSC could no longer be identified. Additionally, starting on day 3 postimplantation, cellular disintegration was noted. Multinucleated giant cells were present in constructs and controls on day 7 and increased to day 14 postimplantation. These results indicate that ectopically transplanted MSC survive for a rather short time after implantation. Possible reasons for early cell death are discussed.

Adjuvants can enhance an immunological response, which is an important part of vaccine research. Pickering bubbles have been a mega-hit for biomedical applications, including visualization and targeted drug delivery. However, there have been no studies on Pickering bubbles as an immunological adjuvant, and the special properties and structures of Pickering bubbles may play an important role in immunization.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition affecting around 50 million people worldwide. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) have emerged as a promising source for cellular therapy due to their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types and their paracrine effects. However, the direct injection of BMMSCs can lead to potential unpredictable impairments, prompting a renewed interest in their paracrine effects for AD treatment.

Impairment of the intestinal barrier allows the systemic translocation of commensal bacteria, inducing a proinflammatory state in the host. Here, we investigated innate immune responses following increased gut permeability upon administration of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice. We found that Enterococcus faecalis translocated to the bone marrow following DSS treatment and induced trained immunity (TI) hallmarks in bone-marrow-derived mouse macrophages and human monocytes.

Food allergy is a complex disease, with multiple environmental factors involved. Considering the regulatory effect of toxin A (Tcd A) on biological processes of allergic reactions, the role of oral exposure to Tcd A on food allergy was investigated. The intestinal permeability and β-hexosaminidase were promoted by Tcd A using the in vitro Caco-2 and HT-29 cells coculture monolayer and bone marrow-derived mast cell (MCs) degranulation model.

Influenza virus infects millions each year, contributing greatly to human morbidity and mortality. Upon viral infection, pathogen-associated molecular patterns activate pattern recognition receptors on host cells, triggering an immune response. The CD209 protein family, homologs of DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin), is thought to modulate immune responses to viruses.
