The effect of estrone injections on the heterotopic bone marrow organ formation was studied in (C57Bl X CBA)F1 mice by bone marrow shaft transplantation under the kidney capsule. Estrone injections resulted in femur marrow fibrosis, the increase in the weight of femur and heterotopic organ ossicle, drastic reduction in heterotopic organ cellularity. Depression of hemopoiesis in ectopic organ cannot be attributed to mechanical displacement of hemopoietic cells because a newly formed bone cavity under the kidney capsule was not closed. Thus, estrone had a detrimental effect on the creation of microenvironment in the heterotopic organ.

Genetically engineered pig heart transplantation in non-human primates.
Commun Med (Lond)

Background: Improvement in gene modifications of donor pigs has led to the prevention of early cardiac xenograft rejection and significantly prolonged cardiac xenograft survival in both heterotopic and orthotopic preclinical non-human primate (NHP) models. This progress formed the basis for FDA approval for compassionate use transplants in two patients.
Methods: Based on our earlier report of 9-month survival of seven gene-edited (7-GE) hearts transplanted (life-supporting orthotopic) in baboons, we transplanted 10 gene-edited pig hearts into baboons (n = 4) using non-ischemic continuous perfusion preservation (NICP) and immunosuppression regimen based on co-stimulation blockade by anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody.

Retinoids are metabolic derivatives of vitamin A and play crucial roles in the regulation of various tissues and organs during prenatal and postnatal development. Active retinoids, like all-trans-retinoic acid, are synthesized in the cytoplasm and subsequently interact with nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARα, RARβ, and RARγ) to enhance transcription of specific genes. In the absence of retinoids, RARs can still bind to response elements of target genes but repress their transcription.

Background: End-stage renal disease is a growing global health issue, disproportionately impacting low- and middle-income countries. While kidney transplantation remains the best treatment for end-stage renal disease, access to this treatment modality is limited by chronic donor organ shortages. To address this critical need, we are developing transplantable bioengineered kidney grafts.

Cryopreservation and transplantation of ovaries are considered to be effective methods for preserving the fertility of female cancer patients. However, ice crystal and oxidative damage occur during the freeze-thaw cycle, significantly reducing the effectiveness of cryopreservation and limiting its clinical application. Thus, new technologies or agents must be explored to enhance ovarian cryopreservation.

Heart transplantation, a crucial intervention for saving lives of those with end-stage cardiac failure, often faces complications from acute allograft rejection. This study focuses on the intricate dynamics of immune cell interactions and specific communication pathways between organs, which are not yet well understood. Our study investigates this interplay using a murine heterotopic transplant model, using single-cell RNA sequencing to examine CD45 immune cells from both the heart grafts and spleens.
