Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown significant potential in bone regeneration and regenerative medicine in recent years. With the advancement of tissue engineering, MSCs have been increasingly applied in bone repair and regeneration, and their clinical application potential has grown through interdisciplinary approaches involving biomaterials and genetic engineering. However, there is a lack of systematic reviews summarizing their applications in bone regeneration.

The use of submillimeter resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is increasing in popularity due to the prospect of studying human brain activation non-invasively at the scale of cortical layers and columns. This method, known as laminar fMRI, is inherently signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-limited, especially at lower field strengths, with the dominant noise source being of thermal origin. Furthermore, laminar fMRI is challenged with signal displacements due to draining vein effects in conventional gradient-echo blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) imaging contrasts.

The bladder is a dynamic organ located in the lower urinary tract, responsible for complex and important physiological activities in the human body, including collecting and storing urine. Severe diseases or bladder injuries often lead to tissue destruction and loss of normal function, requiring surgical intervention and reconstruction. The rapid development of innovative biomaterials has brought revolutionary opportunities for modern urology to overcome the limitations of tissue transplantation.
