The ability to isolate primary chondrocytes from wild-type and genetically altered mice has provided tremendous advances in the understanding of signaling networks that regulate chondrocytes in health and disease. Isolation of chondrocytes from both growth plate tissues and articular cartilage has been challenging due to the cells being embedded within a highly organized tissue matrix. Here we describe highly reproducible methods for the isolation of pure populations of growth plate chondrocytes from the murine sternum and ribs and articular chondrocytes from the knee joint.

The significance of ALKBH5 in erasing mRNA methylation in mRNA biogenesis, decay, and translation control has emerged as a prominent research focus. Additionally, ALKBH5 is associated with the development of numerous human cancers. However, it remains unclear whether ALKBH5 regulates the growth and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Water systems can act as an important reservoir for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can pose public health risks during human contact. Carbapenem resistance is one of the most concerning resistances in P. aeruginosa making it a high-priority pathogen according to the World Health Organization (WHO), due to its ability to cause difficult-to-treat infections.

Background: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived brain organoids patterned towards the cerebral cortex are valuable models of interactions occurring in vivo in cortical tissue. We and others have used these cortical organoids to model dominantly inherited FTD-tau. While these studies have provided essential insights, cortical organoid models have yet to reach their full potential.

Purpose Of The Study: Temporary hemiepiphyseodesis using figure-eight plates is currently one of the main surgical techniques to correct axial deformities of lower limbs in paediatric patients. Comprehensive analysis, correct indication and monitoring of treatment are the basic prerequisites for successful therapy. The aim of the study was to analyse parameters that could become an alternative to standard parameters used nowadays, namely the inserted screw angle (SA), and a new parameter - condylar ratio (CR).

Background: Reports of cases of bacterial infection due to transfusion of red blood cell (RBC) components (RBC-TTBI) are relatively rare. Hence, the possibility of undetectable bacterial contamination in RBCs, especially by psychrotrophic bacteria, must be clarified.

Study Design And Methods: We assessed nine psychrotrophic bacterial species, including those implicated in bacteremia or RBC-TTBIs.
