A 12-month prospective consecutive case series study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel porcine collagen matrix to correct moderate to severe buccogingival recession defects. A total of 10 healthy patients (8 women and 2 men; age range: 30 to 68 years) with 26 maxillary and mandibular recession gingival defects > 4 mm deep were included. Healthy maturation of gingival tissues with natural color and texture matching the adjacent soft tissue areas were observed at all reevaluation visits. Complete root coverage was not achieved in all cases, possibly due to severe buccal bone loss in most of the selected cases, which negatively impacted the results. Nevertheless, when a novel porcine collagen matrix was used, a mean root coverage of 63.15% was achieved, and gains in clinical attachment level and keratinized tissue height were seen. Future randomized clinical trials are needed to further explore the potential of porcine collagen matrix for treatment of localized gingival recession defects.

Organoid technology, as an innovative approach in biomedicine, exhibits promising prospects in disease modeling, pharmaceutical screening, regenerative medicine, and oncology research. However, the use of tumor-derived Matrigel as the primary method for culturing organoids has significantly impeded the clinical translation of organoid technology due to concerns about potential risks, batch-to-batch instability, and high costs. To address these challenges, this study innovatively introduced a photo-crosslinkable hydrogel made from a porcine small intestinal submucosa decellularized matrix (SIS), fish collagen (FC), and methacrylate gelatin (GelMA).

Corneal substitutes with structural and compositional characteristics resembling those of natural corneas have attracted considerable attention. However, biomimicking the complex hierarchical organization of corneal stroma is challenging. In this study, humanized corneal stroma-like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are prepared through a multi-step process.

SN514 is a thermolysin-like enzyme under development as a debrider. Preclinical and non-clinical studies supported a first in human healthy volunteer study to predict the need for protection of periwound skin. Pharmacologic activity testing compared digestion of collagen, fibrin, and elastin with relevant enzymes.

This investigation focused on the influence of collagen on the integrity of the Schneiderian membrane during maxillary sinus augmentation in a rabbit model. The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between membrane integrity and bone regeneration in augmented maxillary sinuses using collagenated and non-collagenated grafts, through detailed histological and histomorphometric analyses. In this forward-looking, randomized, split-mouth design, bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation was conducted on 12 rabbits.
