Regulatory science for medical devices aims to develop new tools, standards and approaches to assess the safety, effectiveness, quality and performance of medical devices. In the field of biomaterials, hernia mesh is a class of implants that have been successfully translated to clinical applications. With a focus on hernia mesh and its regulatory s...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have unique and beneficial properties and are currently used to treat a broad variety of diseases. These properties include the potential for differentiation into other cell types, secretion of different trophic factors that promote a regenerative microenvironment, anti-inflammatory actions, selective migration to dama...

In response to muscle injury, muscle stem cells integrate environmental cues in the damaged tissue to mediate regeneration. These environmental cues are tightly regulated to ensure expansion of muscle stem cell population to repair the damaged myofibers while allowing repopulation of the stem cell niche. These changes in muscle stem cell fate resul...

BackgroundThe use of antiepileptic drugs and estrogen deficiency put forward higher requirements for bone defect regeneration. The present study investigated the effects of alendronate (ALN) on femoral bone defect in ovariectomized (OVX) rats under the influence of carbamazepine (CBZ).MethodsOne hundred female SD rats at 3 months of age were either...

Coating superparamagnetic iron oxide particles, i.e., Fe3O4, as adsorbents have major advantages over bare adsorbents for water treatment. As a versatile material, zirconium has been extensively studied for phosphate removal. In this study, the Fe3O4 core was pre-coated with branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) first, and then loaded with zirconium to ...

In this paper, a Reed-based composite (R) beads, combined with photocatalysis, for the oxidative degradation of fluoroquinolones ciprofloxacin (CIP) in simulated hospital wastewater was developed. It is well known that hospital effluents present very diluted pollution (less than 5 mg/L), The first purpose, which concerns the first step to treat CIP...

Removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from municipal wastewater is becoming more and more important. On-site regeneration of exhausted adsorbents can be the key to practical applications. In this study, ozone-based regeneration of granular zeolites loaded with acetaminophen (ACE) was investigated. The adsorption capacity of ACE was 90 ...

Heart regeneration in regeneration-competent organisms can be accomplished through the remodeling of gene expression in response to cardiac injury. This dynamic transcriptional response relies on the activities of tissue regeneration enhancer elements (TREEs); however, the mechanisms underlying TREEs are poorly understood. We dissected a cardiac re...

The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is considered as a master cytoprotective factor regulating the expression of genes encoding anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying proteins. The role of Nrf2 in the pathophysiology of skeletal muscles has been evaluated in different experimental models, however, due to inconsistent da...

BackgroundUnlike mammals, zebrafish have a remarkable capacity to regenerate a variety of tissues, including central nervous system tissue. The function of macrophages in tissue regeneration is of great interest, as macrophages respond and participate in the landscape of events that occur following tissue injury in all vertebrate species examined. ...
