AI Article Synopsis

  • - Decellularization is a technique to extract decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) for creating 3D scaffolds that mimic the original tissue's structure and properties, aiding in tissue regeneration.
  • - The study introduces a new injection-based method for decellularization that does not require a perfusion setup and compares its efficiency between rat and mouse models, utilizing EDTA and SDS for tissue processing.
  • - The results demonstrated a significant reduction in DNA content (around 97%) in both mouse and rat dECM, while also preserving a notable proportion of total protein (39% in mice and 65% in rats), maintaining the original tissue's architectural integrity.

Article Abstract

Decellularization is a process to harvest the decellularized extra cellular matrix (dECM) that helps develop 3D scaffolds which mimic the native tissue composition. The decellularized tissues retain the structural and functional properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by an efficient decellularization process that retains tissue-specific biochemical and biophysical cues for tissue regeneration. In this study, we report an injection-based decellularization method, without perfusion setup. This study also compares the efficiency of the proposed protocol in the two animal models viz rat and mice. This method harvests rat and mice liver dECM using ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) within 08 h and 02 h respectively and preserved significant amount of ECM proteins. We reported that the harvested mice decellularized extracellular matrix (mdECM) and rat decellularized extracellular matrix (rdECM) had significant reduction in their DNA content (∼97%) and retained structural architecture resembling their native tissue counterparts. The total protein content retained in mdECM was ∼39% while that retained in rdECM was ∼65%. It was also found that the sGAG (sulphated glycosaminoglycan) content showed a no List of Figures.

Backgroud: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is one of the common degenerative diseases. Due to ethical constraints, it is difficult to obtain sufficient research on humans, so the use of an animal model of IDD is very important to clarify the pathogenesis and treatment mechanism of the disease.

Methods: In this study, thirty 2-month-old mice were selected for operation to establish a coccygeal IDD model.

Background: Classical-like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 1 (clEDS1) is a very rare form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) caused by tenascin-X (TNX) deficiency, with only 56 individuals reported. TNX is an extracellular matrix protein needed for collagen stability. Previous publications propose that individuals with clEDS1 might be at risk for gastrointestinal (GI) tract perforations and/or tracheal ruptures.

Biomimetic Extracellular Vesicles Containing Biominerals for Targeted Osteoporosis Therapy.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density and a heightened risk of fractures. Therapies for OP have primarily focused on balancing bone formation and bone resorption, but enhancing the remineralization of osteoporotic bone is also a key strategy for effective repair. Recent insights into biomineralization mechanisms have highlighted the essential role of mineral-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by osteoblasts in promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (BMSC) differentiation and initiating matrix mineralization.

Background/purpose: Titanium (Ti) is extensively used in dental and orthopedic implants due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, its smooth and biologically inert surface does not support the ingrowth of new bone, and Ti ions may have adverse biological effects. The purpose is to improve the corrosion resistance of titanium and create a 3D structured coating to enhance osseointegration through a very simple and fast surface treatment.
