Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels loaded with adipose-derived stromal cells (ASC) or their conditioned medium (ASC CM) present a promising and versatile treatment approach for tissue vascularization and regeneration. These hydrogels are easy to produce, store, personalize, manipulate, and deliver to the target tissue. This literature review aimed to investigate the applications of dECM hydrogels with ASC or ASC CM for in vivo tissue vascularization. Fourteen experimental studies have been reviewed using vessel density as the primary outcome parameter for in vivo vascularization. The studies consistently reported an increased efficacy in augmenting angiogenesis by the ASC or ASC CM-loaded hydrogels compared to untreated controls. However, this systematic review shows the need to standardize procedures and characterization, particularly of the final administered product(s). The findings from these experimental studies highlight the potential of dECM hydrogel with ASC or ASC CM in novel tissue regeneration and regenerative medicine applications.

Renovascular hypertension is the second leading cause of hypertension. Twenty-seven genes have been attributed to monogenic renovascular hypertension at present. We present a 15-year-old boy with facial dysmorphism, thick skin and renovascular hypertension with a novel gain-of-function variant in SMAD4 gene suggesting Myhre syndrome.

There are few reports that discuss the nebulous entity known as posttraumatic subacute meningitis. Herein, we describe a case where a male was found deceased with Streptococcus pyogenes meningitis 7 days after experiencing head trauma inflicted with a tow chain. Computed tomography scan prior to death revealed a scalp laceration with subcutaneous gas and a subdural hematoma.

Upper limb lymphedema is the most common complication after breast cancer therapy. Suddenly disturbed lymphatic transport in the affected arm causes tissue fluid accumulation in tissue spaces, limb enlargement, and secondary changes in tissue. Early compression therapy is necessary.

The skeleton is highly innervated by numerous nerve fibers. These nerve fibers, in addition to transmitting information within the bone and mediating bone sensations, play a crucial role in regulating bone tissue formation and regeneration. Traditional bone tissue engineering (BTE) often fails to achieve satisfactory outcomes when dealing with large-scale bone defects, which is frequently related to the lack of effective reconstruction of the neurovascular network.

Introduction: Graft optimization is a necessity in order to develop uterus transplantation from brain-dead donors, as a complement to living donors, as these grafts are rare and the last organs retrieved in multiple organ donation. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and interest of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in uterus transplantation using a porcine model; secondary outcomes were the evaluation of the graft's tolerance to a prolonged cold ischaemia time and to find new biomarkers of uterus viability.
Material And Methods: Fifteen uterus allotransplantations were performed in a porcine model, after 18 h of cold ischaemia, divided in three groups: Static cold storage in a HTK solution, HMP (with the VitaSmart (™) machine Bridge to Life Ltd.
