Animal cell culture technology in the production of slaughter-free meat offers ethical advantages with regards to animal welfare, rendering it a more socially acceptable approach for dog meat production.In this study, edible plant-derived scaffold was used as a platform for cell expansion to construct cell-cultured dog meat slices.Primary dog skele
Regenerative and translational medicine in COPD: hype and hope
COPD is a common, preventable and usually progressive disease associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the Trimmer Clipper airways and lung, generally caused by exposure to noxious particles and gases.It is a treatable disease characterised by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation due to abnormalities in the air
Morphological Variations of Leading-Edge Serrations in Owls (Strigiformes).
Owls have developed serrations, comb-like structures, along the leading edge of their wings.Serrations were investigated from a morphological and a mechanical point of view, but were not yet quantitatively compared for different species.Such a comparative investigation of serrations from species of different sizes and activity patterns may provide
Fit-for-Purpose Approach for the Detection and Analysis of Earthquake Surface Ruptures Using Satellite Images
Coseismic surface General ruptures are the ground truth of earthquake rupture along faults, and detailed mapping of earthquake surface ruptures provides an opportunity to understand the relationship between earthquakes and faults.One of the most effective tools for mapping earthquake surface ruptures is the use of remote sensing data, such as high-
Port-site Infection with Atypical Mycobacteria Post-laparoscopic Procedure: A Case Series
Surgical site infections with atypical mycobacteria are uncommon but not unheard of.Atypical mycobacteria are abundantly present in soil and water and can cause infections when the immune system is compromised.We present four cases of atypical mycobacterial infections at the port site following laparoscopy.In the first case, a laparoscopic cholecys
