Calvarial defects can result from several causes. Tissue engineering hold the potential to restore native form and protective function. We have recently shown that stemness and differentiation ability of spheroids from adipose-derived stem cells (S-ASCs) promotes osteoblasts growth within Integra in a small vertebral lesion. In our study, we aimed to test osteogenic potential of S-ASCs in aiding regeneration of a calvarial defect. Groups containing Integra showed increased bone regeneration at the calvarial defect-Integra interface compared with the control group. In particular, S-ASC-derived osteoblasts group showed a superior calvarial remodeling than undifferentiated S-ASCs group. Clusters of ossification were observed in these both groups with enhanced microvasculature density and fibrosis. In conclusion, seeding of S-ASCs in dermal regeneration templates enhanced bone healing in a rabbit calvarial defect model. These findings could prompt the elective use of S-ASCs with enhanced multilineage differentiation potential for tissue engineering purposes.

Background: Congenital bladder disorders in children necessitate innovative approaches for bladder tissue regeneration, aiming to minimize complications associated with conventional therapies. This study focused on generating a cell-seeded scaffold using superior smooth muscle cells (SMCs) by exploring the potential of smooth muscle cell spheroids (3D SMCs) compared to conventionally cultured SMCs (2D SMCs) for bladder tissue engineering. Additionally, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were investigated for their impact on SMC proliferation and maturation, and pre-differentiated smooth muscle-like ADSCs (pADSCs) for their potential as alternative cell source.

Article Synopsis
- The management of diabetic wounds is difficult, but extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) show potential for treatment despite challenges with their quantity and quality.
- A novel method using cell spheroids to culture hASCs successfully increased the yield and angiogenic properties of the EVs, leading to improved wound healing characteristics.
- In vivo tests on diabetic rats demonstrated that these enhanced EVs significantly improved collagen production, wound closure, and blood vessel formation, suggesting a promising new approach for treating diabetic wounds.

Article Synopsis
- - HITS-Bio is a new bioprinting system that allows for the rapid and efficient placement of multiple cell spheroids, achieving speeds ten times faster than current methods while maintaining high cell viability (>90%).
- - It demonstrates significant applications, such as using microRNA-modified stem cell spheroids for nearly complete bone defect closure in rats after 3 to 6 weeks, showcasing its potential in regenerative medicine.
- - The system also effectively fabricates large cartilage constructs with around 600 chondrogenic spheroids in under 40 minutes, emphasizing its scalability and efficiency for medical repairs.

Cultured or cultivated meat, animal muscle, and fat tissue grown in vitro, could transform the global meat market, reducing animal suffering while using fewer resources than traditional meat production and no antimicrobials at all. To ensure the appeal of cultured meat to future customers, cultured fat is essential for achieving desired mouthfeel, taste, and texture, especially in beef. In this work we show the establishment of primary bovine adipose-derived stem cell spheroids in static and dynamic suspension culture.
