Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived nanoghosts (MSC‐NGs) mimic naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EVs) in structure and physicochemical properties but can be synthesized at more translatable yields. As osteogenic agents, MSC‐NGs demonstrate superior outcomes compared to MSC‐EVs.

The role of vehicle movement in swine disease dissemination: novel method accounting for pathogen stability and vehicle cleaning effectiveness uncertainties [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in animal production are driven by several propagation routes. Contaminated vehicles traveling between farms have been associated with indirect disease transmission. In this study, we used transportation vehicle data to analyze the magnitude of farm visits by different vehicles and to propose a ...
