Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of autologous bursal tissue derived from the Achilles bursa on tendon-to-bone healing after rotator cuff tear repair in a rat model.
Methods: A total of 136 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to either an untreated or a bursal tissue application group or biomechanical testing and histologic testing after rotator cuff repair. After separating the supraspinatus tendon close to the greater tuberosity, the tendon was reattached either unaltered or with a bursal tissue interposition sewn onto the interface. Immunohistologic analysis was performed 1 and 7 weeks after supraspinatus tendon reinsertion. Biomechanical testing of the tendon occurred 6 and 7 weeks after reinsertion.
Results: Immunohistologic results demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of Type II collagen (P = .04) after 1 and 7 weeks in the tendon-to-bone interface using autologous bursal tissue in comparison to control specimens. The bursa group showed a significantly higher collagen I to III quotient (P = .03) at 1 week after surgery in comparison to the 7-week postsurgery bursa groups and controls. Biomechanical assessment showed that overall tendon stiffness (P = .002) and the tendon viscoelasticity in the bursa group (P = .003) was significantly improved after 6 and 7 weeks. There was no significant difference (P = .55) in force to failure between the bursa group and the control group after 6 and 7 weeks.
Conclusion: Autologous bursal tissue derived from the Achilles bursa and implanted to the tendon-to-bone interface after rotator cuff repair facilitates a faster healing response to re-establish the biologic and biomechanical integrity of the rotator cuff in rats.

While B cell development in the birds' primary B cell organ, the bursa Fabricius, is relatively well understood, very little is known about post bursal B cell differentiation into plasma and memory cells though these cells are essential for a protecting antibody response and so far, no specific markers for these cells were available. Since immunoglobulin class switch is one part of the B cell differentiation process, our objective was to conduct a first detailed investigation of class-switched chicken B cells. As only very few IgY and IgA expressing cells were detected in lymphoid organs of young chickens, we used CD40L and IL-10 to establish a prolonged culture system, which induces B cell proliferation, class switch to IgY and IgA and enhanced antibody secretion.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) induces severe immunosuppression in chickens, leading to significant economic losses in the global poultry industry. This study investigated 52 chicken flocks, including commercial broilers, layers, and baladi, from various Egyptian governorates in 2023. These flocks exhibited symptoms of depression, along with kidney and bursa lesions, indicative of IBDV infection.

Herpesvirus of turkey (HVT) recombinant vector vaccines are widely used in the poultry industry. However, due to limitations in loading multiple foreign antigens into a single HVT vector, other viral vectors are urgently needed. Since chickens lack maternal immunity to duck enteritis virus (DEV), vector vaccines using DEV as a backbone are currently under study.

There are often outbreaks of infectious diseases on farms, which not only disrupt production but also cause significant economic losses. Vaccines are given to prevent the spread of these infectious diseases, but they produce only systemic antibodies or antibodies in the mucosa of a particular system. So, a new mucosal vaccination route is needed where the vaccine will produce antibodies in the systemic circulation as well as in the mucosa of many systems.

Article Synopsis
- - The bursa of Fabricius (BF) is a crucial organ in birds for B-cell development, arising from the cloaca during embryonic growth.
- - Researchers found that specific precursors for B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells migrate to the BF, with a new cell type, EIV-E12+, playing a key role in initiating the formation of lymphoid follicles.
- - Experiments with chick-duck and chick-quail combinations indicate that EIV-E12+ cells act as transient inducers for lymphoid follicle formation, but they aren't direct precursors of B or dendritic cells.
