The establishment and culture of bovine omasal epithelial cells (BOECs) in vitro is a valuable tool for the study of the physiological function, nutrient absorption, and transport mechanisms of the omasum in dairy cows. This paper proposes a method for the culture of primary BOECs. Trypsin digestion was used to subculture the BOECs, which were passaged for 20 generations in vitro, and showed typical epithelial-like characteristics and a cobblestone morphology. The primary BOECs had a fast growth phase (between days 4 and 5) and were validated by their slight β-galactosidase and visible cytokerat in 18 expression. In addition, RT-PCR results demonstrated that the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), Na+/H+exchanger 1 (NHE1), and Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) were expressed in the isolated primary BOECs. In conclusion, this primary BOEC isolation and culture model is a promising method for the study of nutrient absorption and regulation, as well as the immune regulation of epithelial cell transport in vitro.

mRNA reprogramming is a technology for generating iPSCs with high efficiency and safety. However, it is not suitable for reprogramming non-adherent cells, the primary cell type in blood. An alternative is to obtain adherent cells from blood for this technology.

In the past decades, the properties of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have been widely investigated. Studies have shown that transplantation of OECs cultured from the olfactory bulb mediates axonal regeneration, remyelination and restores lost functions in experimental central nervous system (CNS) injury models. Autologously sourcing the cells from the nasal mucosa or the olfactory bulb to treat patients with spinal cord injuries would be ideal, but the cell yield achieved may be inadequate to cover the surface area of the lesions typically encountered in human spinal cord contusion injuries.

Human serum albumin (HSA) has a long circulatory half-life owing, in part, to interaction with the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn or FCGRT) in acidic endosomes and recycling of internalised albumin. Vascular endothelial and innate immune cells are considered the most relevant cells for FcRn-mediated albumin homeostasis in vivo. However, little is known about endocytic trafficking of FcRn-albumin complexes in primary human endothelial cells.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation, which results in ischemia in lower extremity ischemia. Cell-based therapy using endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) or endothelial cells (ECs) has been challenging due to an insufficient number and replicative senescence of primary cells isolated from patients. To overcome this limitation, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient with PAD for the first time.

Blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) have received growing attention in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the effect of diet intervention, a primary strategy for CVD prevention, on BOECs is not reported. This study aims to investigate the effect of following a healthy dietary pattern (HDP) with or without wolfberry consumption, healthy food with potential cardiovascular benefits, on the number and function of BOECs in middle-aged and older adults.
