Background: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells can be collected at birth, cryopreserved, and used for transplantation in hematopoietic diseases. Typically, these stem cells are stored in public banks for allogeneic use or in private depositories for potential future utilization by the family. A proposed third option, hybrid cord blood banking, combines elements of both public and private storage.

Background: With the intent to mitigate waitlist disparities, the median model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) at transplant minus 3 policy nevertheless decreased access to liver transplant for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the adoption of machine perfusion (MP) technologies has shown promise in improving deceased donor graft yield and utilization. To understand current use for patients with HCC, we examined liver transplant patterns with MP and the characteristics of patients with HCC receiving an MP liver.

Background: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are inherited diseases causing significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in childhood. Liver transplantation (LT) can be curative or partially effective for these diseases. LT for IEMs has increased, making IEMs the second most common reason for pediatric LT after biliary atresia.

The protective effects of the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) in alleviating inflammation have been reported. However, limited attention has been paid to the key fraction of milk fat globule membrane protein (MFGMP). This study investigated the protective effects of camel MFGMP against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice.

Background: Microencapsulation improves the storage, handling, and administration of probiotics by protecting them from environmental factors and adverse conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. This process facilitates their controlled delivery in the body, which can simplify their use in therapies without compromising their therapeutic efficacy.

Objectives: This study investigates the microencapsulation of LM-20, its probiotic properties, and its effects in a murine model of ulcerative colitis.
