Three commercial xenogeneic biomaterials (Gen-Os, Apatos Spongiosa and Apatos Cortical; all from Tecnoss Dental, Torino, Italy) originated from porcine bone were characterized by various analytical methods, such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TGA), high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The studies were focused on structural properties and chemical compositions of the samples. It was found that the main constituents of the analyzed biomaterials were nanocrystalline apatite mineral, organic collagenous matrix and water. For comparison, synthetic carbonated hydroxyapatite and natural collagen type I from bovine tendon were used. Differences in various physicochemical parameters such as crystal size, specific surface area, concentration of structural hydroxyl groups, contents of CO(3)(2-) and HPO(4)(2-) ions and their location were discussed. It was shown that various techniques of ssNMR and elaborate analysis of the FT-IR spectra, applied together, provide valuable information on xenogeneic biomaterials.

Cell micro-patterning controls cell fate and function and has potential for generating therapeutically usable mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) populations with precise functions. However, to date, the micro-patterning of human cells in a translational context has been impossible because only ruminant media supplements, e.g.

Purpose: Currently, maxillary sinus floor (SF) elevation is based on off-the-shelf allogeneic, xenogeneic or synthetic bone augmentation materials (BAM) that are implanted via an open lateral sinus wall approach (OSFE). However, this invasive method is associated with postoperative complications caused by an inadequate blood supply of the alveolar ridge. Balloon-assisted procedures are minimal invasive alternatives with lower complication rates.

Article Synopsis
- - The study addresses the limitations of using undefined basement membrane extracts like Matrigel for cultivating intestinal stem cells (ISCs) by introducing a new xenogeneic-free culture dish called XF-DISC.
- - XF-DISC significantly increases the growth and maintenance of ISCs, achieving a 24-fold cell number increase within 30 days and sustaining viability over 210 days (30 passages).
- - This method allows for successful transplantation of cultured human ISCs into mouse models with intestinal injuries, fostering tissue regeneration, making it a promising approach for effective ISC therapy in human intestinal diseases.

The optimal repair of rigid mineralized tissues, such as bone, in cases of fracture, surgical resection, or prosthetic placement, is a complex process often necessitating the use of bone graft materials. Autogenous bone from the patient is generally the gold standard in terms of outcomes but also has disadvantages, which have resulted in extensive research in the field of tissue engineering to develop better and more convenient alternatives. In the dental field, several initiatives have demonstrated that the dentin material derived from extracted teeth produces excellent results in terms of repairing bone defects and supporting dental implants.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can give rise to multiple lineages derived from three germ layers, endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. Definitive endoderm (DE) cell types and tissues have great potential for regenerative medicine applications. Current hiPSC differentiation protocols focus on the addition of soluble factors; however, extracellular matrix properties are known to also play a role in dictating cell fate.
