Potential Infectious Complications in Pig Xenograft Donors and Recipients.

Transpl Int

January 2025

Department of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, School of Health and Life Sciences, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom.

Preclinical and clinical xenotransplantation trials have shown that successful outcomes depend on a number of factors including the prevention of xenozoonoses. Preclinical trials involving pig kidneys and hearts transplanted into various non-human primates have revealed the potential impact of pig pathogens being present in the transplanted organ/tissue, mainly viruses. The concept of "designated pathogen-free donor animals" was developed to ensure elimination of pathogens during the breeding of donor animals to mitigate this occurrence.

This work investigates the energy cane pyrolysis by process simulation in Aspen Plus, evaluating which variety maximizes bio-oil yield with further economics to evaluate process feasibility. Three cultivars were selected: two natural, and , and one, IACSP955000, generated by a breeding program. Firstly, 100 kg/h of wet biomass entered a stoichiometric reactor (RSTOIC) at 450 °C and 40 bar, generating biochar, bio-oil and gases.

Photon-counting mammography is an emerging modality that allows for spectral imaging and provides a differentiation of material compositions. The development of photon-counting mammography-specific contrast agents has yet to be explored. In this study, the contrast, sensitivity, and organ dose between silver sulfide nanoparticles (AgS-NPs) and a clinically approved iodinated agent (iopamidol) were investigated using a contrast-embedded gradient ramp phantom and a prototype scanner.

Purpose: We conducted a more comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture (AA) in perioperative pain management.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) findings were retrieved from the Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang, VIP, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases from their inception to March 2024 using the search terms "pain", "auriculotherapy", and "randomized controlled trial". The experimental group was treated with AA alone or in combination with analgesic drugs, whereas the control group was treated with sham auricular acupuncture, placebo, conventional treatment, or no treatment.

The amino acid permease contributes to tomato growth and salt tolerance by mediating branched-chain amino acid transport.

Hortic Res

January 2025

National Key Laboratory for Tropical Crop Breeding, School of Breeding and Multiplication Sanya Institute of Breeding and Multiplication, Hainan University, Sanya 572025, China.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids in tomato () required for protein synthesis, which also modulate growth and abiotic stress responses. To date, little is known about their uptake and transport in tomato especially under abiotic stress. Here, the tomato () gene was identified as an amino acid transporter that restored mutant yeast cell growth on media with a variety of amino acids, including BCAAs.
