Summary: In a rat cranial defect, VSCM shows limited and heterogeneous capacity to support intramembranous bone formation, but may potentially allow bone formation via the endochondral route.

Summary: The study documented the structural changes in human subcutaneous tissue induced by the combination of RF treatment with the HIFEM procedure, showing that the treatment led to changes in adipocytes resulting in fat reduction and decreased waist circumference. The therapy was comfortable with high patient satisfaction and no adverse events observed, suggesting the efficacy and safety of the therapy combining RF and HIFEM.

Summary: Cnidaria are excellent models for studying regenerative processes due to their anatomical simplicity and ability to regenerate missing body parts, particularly highlighting the importance of mesoglea in the process, acting as a scaffold for tissue regeneration.

Summary: In this study, cultured fat was produced using collagen-based 3D models and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The cultured fat had similar texture and volatile organic compounds as porcine subcutaneous fat, showing the promising application of cultured fat in meat production.

Summary: This study investigated the skin histology and its association with feathers in broilers and native Red-Feather (RF) chickens, as well as the thermal alterations in relation to defeathering by scalding. The results showed that RF chickens had a thicker dermal layer with more collagen deposition and compact architecture, particularly in the neck and abdominal skin. RF chickens also showed specific characteristics in the structure of feather follicles that made them more resistant to thermal changes. The study suggests that the effects of scalding on defeathering depend on the intrinsic skin histologies and the interaction of the feather calamus with the surrounding follicle sheath and neighboring cutaneous tissues, rather than the feathers themselves.

Summary: The structural components of the vaginal wall change with age, leading to a higher prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse in older women. Smooth muscle density decreases while collagen and elastic fibers increase in the vaginal wall mucosa as women age. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse in relation to the aging process.

Summary: This study describes the vascular pattern of the patellar ligament (PL) and infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) in horses and provides histological references for future investigations. The PLs have a rich blood supply with numerous longitudinal vessels and extensive branching. There are also vascular connections between the PLs and the IFP. The thickness, vascularity, and fatty infiltration of the PLs vary with age and metaplastic tenocytes/chondroid metaplasia is a normal finding in the medial PL.

Summary: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) not only affects the mitral valve, causing mitral regurgitation, but also leads to maladaptive structural changes in the heart, including regional fibrosis in the left ventricle. Myocardial fibrosis can be quantified with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, but it has its limitations.

Summary: This study explored a new hyperelastic model (Exp-Ln) for predicting the mechanical and structural responses of soft tissues. The experimental results showed that the Exp-Ln model accurately captured the mechanical behavior of soft tissues compared to other models. Additionally, there was a statistical correlation between the material parameters and histological parameters.

Summary: In this study, we used digital pathology techniques to calculate four fibrosis severity scores that quantify fibrosis architecture, collagen content, and fiber morphometry. These scores provide additional insight into the progression of architectural changes and accumulation of collagen in liver fibrosis.

Summary: This study involved 60 women who received treatments for abdominal fat reduction using ultrasound, radiofrequency, or a combination of both. The treatments resulted in cosmetic effects such as weight loss and reduced waist circumference. However, there were no significant effects on lipid profile, insulin resistance markers, inflammation markers, or blood pressure, indicating that the treatments did not modify the cardiovascular disease risk.
