Large articular cartilage defects have proven difficult to treat and often result in osteoarthritis of the affected joint. Cryopreservation of articular cartilage can provide an increased supply of tissues for osteochondral allograft but cryoprotective agents are required; however, few studies...

A 3.8 kb male specific fragment was observed following agarose gel etectrophoresis of porcine DNA digested with Sph I. DNA was recovered from this region of a gel using DE-81 paper and ligated to Sph I digested pUC18. Plasmids carrying male specific sequences were identified by their differential...

Islet transplantation has the potential to be an effective treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes. However, a shortage of human donor islets and the need for continuous immunosuppressive therapy currently limit this therapy to patients with brittle type 1 diabetes. Neonatal pigs may...

Objective: Osteochondral allografting is an effective method to treat large osteochondral defects but difficulties in tissue preservation have significantly limited the application of this technique. Successful cryopreservation of articular cartilage (AC) could improve the clinical availability...

Long-term biologic storage of articular cartilage has proven elusive due to cellular degradation over time or acute damage during attempts at cryopreservation. Vitrification is one option that may result in successful cryopreservation but difficulty with cryoprotective agent (CPA) toxicity at...

Early embryonic development is a dynamic period that requires precise and timely interaction between the developing embryo and the maternal environment. A series of studies were carried out in order to identify the vital components of this environment and to understand their temporal and spatial...
