AI Article Synopsis
- Regenerative medicine has the potential to transform healthcare but is underrepresented in undergraduate education.
- Two new courses have been created at a university through collaboration between students and faculty to address this gap.
- The program includes lectures from experts and is developing a certificate that combines coursework and research to help students pursue careers in regenerative medicine.
Article Abstract
As it begins to enter the clinic, regenerative medicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Although there exists a growing need for individuals well-versed in the practice of regenerative medicine, few undergraduate institutions offer opportunities to learn about the topic. This article highlights the conception of two novel undergraduate courses in regenerative medicine developed through collaboration between students and faculty at our University to fill this void in the undergraduate curriculum. Lectures from scientists, healthcare professionals, regulatory experts and biotechnology leaders introduced students to regenerative medicine research and the translational process, and a certificate program incorporating relevant coursework and research experience is in development. This pipeline will guide promising undergraduate students to the field of regenerative medicine.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.

Periodontitis, a widespread inflammatory disease, is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. While mechanical periodontal therapy benefits the periodontal disease treatment, adjunctive periodontal therapy is also necessary. Topically applied anti-inflammatory agents have gained considerable attention in periodontitis therapy.

However, finding highly efficient methods of extraction that also comply with the US regulations has prevented widespread clinical use.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel ASC extraction device to quantify viable ASC extraction and processing efficiency.
A Novel Template and Cylinder Bioprosthetic Atrioventricular Valve: An Ex Vivo Study.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2023
Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Purpose: This ex vivo study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel cylinder bioprosthetic valve for mitral and tricuspid valve replacements, addressing concerns related to valve size, anticoagulation, and postoperative morbidity.
Description: Existing bioprosthetic valves lack annulus-papillary muscle continuity. In contrast, our valve, which is crafted from autologous pericardium, maintains annulus-papillary muscle continuity, maximizes the orifice area when open, and closes in response to rising ventricular pressure, thus preserving mitral valve complexity.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The University of Tokyo Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: The skin is a complex organ that includes various stem cell populations. Current approaches for non-healing skin defects are sometimes inadequate and many attempts have been made to regenerate skin integrity. The aim of this review is to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application of skin integrity regeneration.
