Happy Holidays From AATB
As 2023 comes to a close, AATB would like to wish its members, partners, and other industry professionals a safe and happy holiday season. As we reflect on the past year for the industry, we would like to provide the readers of the AATB NewsBrief a look at some of the most accessed articles from the year. Our regular publication will resume Wednesday, January 10.
NEWS FROM THE FIELD
We’re Closer To ‘Engineering’ Blood Vessels
Pursuit
Researchers have developed a method to create tissue-engineered blood vessel. By electrospinning polymer fibers onto a mandrel and freezing the tube, they achieved aligned fibers necessary for endothelial cell growth. The Serotonin Transporter Sustains Human Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis
Nature Metabolism
In a new study, researchers discovered the serotonin transporter (SERT) in human brown adipose tissue (BAT) prevents serotonin from suppressing BAT function. Inhibiting SERT with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline created a reduction in BAT activation in healthy volunteers, which may contribute to SSRI-induced weight gain and metabolic issues. Custom-Made 3D Lab Models Could Unlock the Secret to Soft Tissue Joint Diseases
Medical Xpress
Researchers have developed a custom-made 3D-printed lab-grown soft heart that could revolutionize organ transplantation. The technique involves using a patient's own cells to create a functional heart, reducing the risk of rejection and improving transplant success rates. Necrotising Inflammation of Peri-Pancreatic Tissue With Normal Appearance of Pancreas Is a Distinct Entity of Acute Pancreatitis: Report of Two Cases With Review of Literature
Cureus
Extrapancreatic necrotizing pancreatitis (EPN) is characterized by necrotizing inflammation limited to the peripancreatic tissue with a normal-looking pancreas. Although EPN is considered a less aggressive form of acute necrotizing pancreatitis, it is not currently emphasized in the revised classification of the disease.
Tissue Chip for Drug Screening
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences
Tissue chips mimic human organ systems and can help scientists determine if treatments from new clinical studies could be safe and effective in humans. Brain Tissue May Be Fuel for Marathon Runners
Science News
A new study suggests that runners may use so much energy during marathons that their bodies tap into myelin for energy. Researchers Accelerate Development of Cellular Therapies for Damaged Tissues
University of Toronto
Researchers from Toronto have developed computational algorithms capable of designing cell-culture experiments and recommending the least costly route to produce them. HU3DINKS Project to Develop Human Tissue-Based Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting
News Medical
The Human bioinks for 3D printing project aims to develop human tissue-based instead of animal-based bioinks for 3D bioprinting technologies.
