Introduction: A specialized device equipped with a sharp blade filter has been developed to enable more efficient purification of a micronized cellular adipose matrix (MCAM) containing stem cells. The aim of this study is to compare the characteristics and functions of the population of stromal cells (mSVF) and cultured cells (mASCs) purified using this device with those of cSVF and cASCs obtained through conventional enzymatic purification.
Methods: Cell viability, proliferation capacity and yield were assessed. Characterization of stem cell potency was performed by analyzing cell surface markers including CD34, a marker of activated adipose-derived stem cells. The trilineage differentiation potential was evaluated using RT-PCR and histology.
Results: The yield rate of mSVF obtained from MCAM was significantly higher than that with the conventional method, although use of the device resulted in a slight decrease in cell viability. After culture, mASCs exhibited a remarkable clonogenic potential and significantly higher cell proliferation potential than cASCs. The mASCs also displayed a distinct pattern of ASC cell surface markers, increased expression of genes related to CD34, high pluripotency, and a high trilineage differentiation ability.
Conclusion: The specialized device enhanced the yield of SVF and produced cells with high proliferation rates and characteristics that include expression of stem cell markers.

While iron (Fe) is essential for life and plays important roles for almost all growth related processes, it can trigger cell death in both animals and plants. However, the underlying mechanisms for Fe-induced cell death in plants remain largely unknown. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) has previously been reported to regulate nitric oxide homeostasis to prevent Fe-induced cell death within root meristems.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?
Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.
What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.
