A New Concept of Mosaicplasty: Autologous Osteoperiosteal Cylinder Graft Covered With Cellularized Scaffold. [PDF]
Abstract A concern regarding osteochondral autograft transfer for chondral defects is donor‐site morbidity of the knee, the most common source of the autograft. To avoid the drawbacks of osteochondral autograft transfer, a cylindrical osteoperiosteal graft harvested from the iliac crest covered by a same‐sized cylinder of hyaluronic acid–based polymer ...

Conditioned serum in vitro treatment of chondrocyte pellets and osteoarthritic explants. [PDF]
Abstract Background Autologous conditioned serum (ACS) is used to treat osteoarthritis in horses, although its effects are not fully investigated. Objectives To investigate the effects of equine serum and conditioned serum on chondrocytes stimulated with interleukin (IL)‐1β and cartilage explants with mild osteoarthritis.

Inhibition of SDF-1/CXCR4 Axis to Alleviate Abnormal Bone Formation and Angiogenesis Could Improve the Subchondral Bone Microenvironment in Osteoarthritis. [PDF]
The pathogenesis of the osteoarthritis (OA) is complex. Abnormal subchondral bone metabolism is an important cause of this disease. Further understanding on the pathology of the subchondral bone in OA may provide a new therapy. This research is about to investigate the role of SDF‐1 in the subchondral bone during the pathological process of OA.

Morphological Investigation of the Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Os Hyoideum and Creating a 3D Model. [PDF]
With this study, detailed morphological, morphometric and 3D printing data of the roe deer os hyoideum were obtained for the first time and its similarities and differences with other animal species were compared. The os hyoideum consisted of six parts, but the processus lingualis, which is found in ruminants, was not present in the roe deer.

Abstract In several taxa of Neornithes (crown group birds), the lacrimal/ectethmoid complex exhibits small bones, the comparative osteology of which is poorly studied. Some of these ossicles—which are commonly known as uncinate bones (ossa uncinata or ossa lacrimopalatina)—were already described two centuries ago, but knowledge of their distribution ...

Rheumatoid arthritis: Development after the emergence of a chemokine for neutrophils in the synovium
Events before synoviocyte (purple spindles) proliferation. In the beginning, CXCL5 (red rectangle) is produced by synoviocytes, followed consecutively by neutrophils (N) and monocyte (M) recruitment, IL‐17A secretion, CCL20 (yellow rectangles) expression, recruitment of CCR6‐expressing cells (dark brown circles), secretion of many chemokines (gray‐ and

Our study presents MicroCT‐scans of two frog species in order to reconstruct the complete anatomical condition of the whole feeding apparatus for the first time. The figure depicts a sagittal section through the heads of Calyptocephalella gayi (A) and Leptodactylus pentadactylus (B). Abstract Micro‐computed tomography (microCT) of small animals has led

After describing the external, buccopharyngeal, muscle, and chondrocranium morphology of the funnel‐mouthed dendrobatid tadpoles of the genus Silverstoneia and their relatives, we delimited 16 new larval characters, including 12 new synapomorphies for the genus.

Male impala retract the larynx while producing their impressive rutting roars. The low fundamental frequency of these roars is produced by a highly modified vocal fold, a ‘vocal keel’. The anatomical and acoustical correlates of male impala's mobile larynx are discussed.

Convergence and functional evolution of longirostry in crocodylomorphs
Abstract During the Mesozoic, Crocodylomorpha had a much higher taxonomic and morphological diversity than today. Members of one particularly successful clade, Thalattosuchia, are well‐known for being longirostrine: having long, slender snouts. It has generally been assumed that Thalattosuchia owed their success in part to the evolution of longirostry,
