COLD STORAGE OF HUMAN PRECISION-CUT LUNG SLICES IN TIPROTEC PRESERVES CELLULAR COMPOSITION AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL RESPONSES AND ENABLES ON-DEMAND MECHANISTIC STUDIES

Cold storage of human precision-cut lung slices in TiProtec preserves cellular composition and transcriptional responses and enables on-demand mechanistic studies

Abstract Background Human precision-cut lung slices (hPCLS) are a unique platform for functional, mechanistic, and drug discovery studies in the field of respiratory research.However, tissue availability, generation, and cultivation time represent important challenges for their usage.Therefore, the present study evaluated the efficacy of a specific

Reconstruction of the mandible with an autogenous corticocancellous bone graft and fibrin glue: An animal experiment

This paper reports on an experimental animal study evaluating a method of mandibular reconstruction in dogs using autogenous corticocaneclous bone graft and fibrin glue.Eight animals underwent a resection at the mandibular body and primary reconstruction was carried out using osteosynthesis plates and screws.The defect was bridged with an autogenou

A Research Protocol to Study the Priming Effects of Breathing Low Oxygen on Enhancing Training-Related Gains in Walking Function for Persons With Spinal Cord Injury: The BO2ST Trial

Brief episodes of low oxygen breathing (therapeutic acute intermittent hypoxia; tAIH) may serve as an effective plasticity-promoting primer to enhance the effects of transcutaneous spinal stimulation-enhanced walking therapy (WALKtSTIM) in persons with chronic (>1 year) spinal cord injury (SCI).Pre-clinical studies in rodents with SCI show that
