Functional Tissue-Engineered Bone-Like Graft Made of a Fibrin Scaffold and TG2 Gene-Modified EMSCs for Bone Defect Repair

A novel biofunctional live tissue-engineered bone-like graft was designed and constructed using a fibrin scaffold loaded with TG2 gene-modified ectomesenchymal stem cells (TG2-EMSCs) derived from nasal respiratory mucosa for bone defect repair.

Elastin-Specific MRI of Extracellular Matrix-Remodeling following Hepatic Radiofrequency-Ablation in a VX2 Liver Tumor Model

To investigate the potential of an elastin-specific MR agent for the assessment of extracellular matrix remodeling in the periablational rim following radiofrequency ablation in a VX2 rabbit liver tumor-model, twelve New-Zealand-White-rabbits were implanted in the left liver lobe with VX2 tumor chunks from donor animals.
