Additively manufactured stochastic and gyroid scaffold design towards osseointegration and bone regeneration in a rabbit femur model by Susheem Kanwar, Oraib Al-Ketan, Gopinathan Janarthanan, Sanjairaj Vijayavenkataraman

“…In this paper, the versatility of the stochastic scaffold design approach was tested by mimicking the porosity gradient of a bone in all three axes (labelled as uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial) and successfully printing them using multiple different 3D printing processes. These designs were then tested for cell viability in vitro and since all functionally graded scaffolds along with the relatively simpler uniform porosity design displayed positive results, the stochastic scaffold with uniform porosity was selected for in vivo studies involving a rabbit femur model along with a solid cylinder and gyroid TPMS structure as controls. …”

Characterization of the C5H11ORF96 gene in chickens: cloning, tissue distribution and investigation of its potential function in stress response regulation by Yiping Wan, Jiannan Zhang, Xiao Zhang, Jiliang He, Ningkun Shi, Yuanyou Li, Juan Li, Yajun Wang

“…Our results showed that: (1) cC5H11ORF96 cDNA encodes a 120 amino acids protein, which shares high sequence identity with that of birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs and fish; (2) cC5H11ORF96 has a fully conserved RFKTQP motif and high proportion of serine, indicating its multiple potential phosphorylation sites; (3) cC5H11ORF96 is widely expressed in various chicken tissues, with high expression levels in the parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pituitary; (4) glucocorticoids (GCs) and stress significantly upregulate C5H11ORF96 mRNA and protein expression in the chicken pituitary and hypothalamus, suggesting its involvement in regulating stress response by influencing the negative feedback of GCs on the HPA axis in chickens. …”
