Visualization of transplanted stem cells in the brain is an important issue in the study of the mechanisms of their therapeutic action. MRI allowing visualization of single transplanted cells previously labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide particles is among the most informative methods of non-invasive intravital imaging. Verification of MRI data using pathomorphological examination at the microscopic level helps to avoid errors in data interpretation. However, making serial sections of the whole brain and searching for transplanted cells under the microscope is laborious and time-consuming. We have developed a method for 3D modeling of the distribution of transplanted cells in the brain allowing navigating through various brain structures and identifying the areas of accumulation of transplanted cells, which significantly increases the efficiency and reduces the time of histological examination.

Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a heterogeneous collection of cells obtained from adipose tissue through lipoaspiration and is an alter-native intraarticular treatment option, especially in osteoarthritis (OA). The anti-inflammatory and extracellular tissue repair-stimulating properties of SVF increase its effectiveness in regeneration and repair mechanisms. One of the most common symptoms of hemophilia A and B is hemophilic arthropathy (HA).

Objective: Many cancer survivors may experience irreversible infertility due to chemotherapy treatment for childhood cancer. In this study, spermatogenesis development was evaluated following the grafting of fresh and frozen-thawed testicular tissue from neonatal mice to the epididymal fat of adult mice.

Methods: After bilateral castration of recipient mice, fresh or frozen-thawed neonatal testis tissues were grafted into the epididymal fat of the mice.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and leukocytes within the arterial wall. By studying the aortic transcriptome of atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mice, we aimed to identify novel players in the progression of atherosclerosis.

Methods: RNA-Seq analysis was performed on aortas from ApoE and wild-type mice.

Macrophages play a crucial role in the immune response during allograft rejection in organ transplantation. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the genomic features of macrophages in mouse heart transplants and use single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate Galectin-9 (Gal-9, Lgals9), a lectin that can mediate the activation and differentiation of immune cells through ligand-receptor interactions, and the effects of its regulation in transplantation. We discovered a new subset of macrophages called "Myoz2+ macrophages", which specifically expressed genes related to myocardial contraction.
