2022 journal article

Allogeneic and xenogeneic lymphoid reconstitution in a RAG2(-/-)IL2RG(y/-) severe combined immunodeficient pig: A preclinical model for intrauterine hematopoietic transplantation

FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE, 9.

By: R. Sper  n, J. Proctor n, O. Lascina n, L. Guo  n, K. Polkoff n, T. Kaeser n , S. Simpson n, L. Borst n  ...

author keywords: severe combined immunodeficiency; pig; xenotransplantation; allotransplantation; hematopoietic; RAG2; IL2RG; transgenic
TL;DR: The data shows that the pig thymus provides a microenvironment conducive to engraftment, survival and development of human T-cells and provides evidence that the developing T-cell compartment can be populated to a significant extent by human cells in large animals. (via Semantic Scholar)

Donor Age and Time in Culture Affect Dermal Fibroblast Contraction in an In Vitro Hydrogel Model

Detwiler, A., Polkoff, K., Gaffney, L., Freytes, D. O., & Piedrahita, J. A. (2022, August 4). TISSUE ENGINEERING PART A, Vol. 8.

By: A. Detwiler n, K. Polkoff n, L. Gaffney n, D. Freytes n & J. Piedrahita n 

author keywords: cell proliferation; collagen; dermis; extracellular matrix; fibroblasts; hydrogels; skin; wound healing
MeSH headings : Adult; Infant, Newborn; Humans; Swine; Animals; Hydrogels / pharmacology; Reproducibility of Results; Wound Healing; Collagen / chemistry; Fibroblasts
TL;DR: Results show how cellular responses in a hydrogel scaffold differ based on donor age and time in culture in vitro, and suggest that consistency in the cellular component of bioengineered skin products could be beneficial in the biomanufacturing of consistent, reliable skin grafts and graft in vivo models.
