Over 20 million hernia repair procedures per year are performed worldwide. Complications such as chronic inguinal pain (12%) and recurrence rate (11%) significantly impact the surgical results.

These essential components are analysed in this article. This analysis is followed by an explanation of how a new procedure, L-PRF-Open Mesh Repair, can improve both short and long term results.","PeriodicalId":89995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regenerative medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44232786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resident skeletal muscle stem cell, the satellite cell, has been identified as an ideal progenitor for tissue engineering due to its role as an essential player in the potent skeletal muscle regeneration mechanism. A significant challenge facing tissue engineers, however, is the isolation of sufficiently large satellite cell populations with high purity. The two common isolation techniques, single fiber explant culture and enzymatic dissociation, can yield either a highly pure satellite cell population or a suitably large number or cells but fail to do both simultaneously. As a result, it is often necessary to use a purification technique such as pre-plating or cell sorting to enrich the satellite cell population post-isolation. Furthermore, the absence of complex chemical and biophysical cues influencing the <i>in vivo</i> satellite cell \"niche\" complicates the culture of isolated satellite cells. Techniques under investigation to maximize myogenic proliferation and differentiation <i>in vitro</i> are described in this article, along with current methods for isolating and purifying satellite cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":89995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regenerative medicine","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4582791/pdf/nihms723138.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34041778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discerning the intrinsic plasticity and regenerative potential of human stem cell populations might reside in chromatin modifications that shape the respective epigenomes of their derivation routes. Previously, we have generated engraftable human neuronal progenitors direct from pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by small molecule induction (hESC-I hNuPs). Unlike the prototypical neuroepithelial-like nestin-positive human neural stem cells (hNSCs), these <i>in vitro</i> neuroectoderm-derived Nurr1-positive hESC-I hNuPs are a more neuronal lineage-specific and plastic hESC derivative. In this study, the global chromatin landscape changes in pluripotent hESCs and their neuronal lineage-specific derivative hESC-I hNuPs were profiled using genome-wide mapping and compared to CNS tissue-derived hNSCs. This study found that the broad potential of pluripotent hESCs is defined by an epigenome constituted of open conformation of chromatin mediated by a pattern of Oct-4 global distribution that corresponds closely with those of acetylated nucleosomes genome-wide. The epigenomic transition from pluripotency to restriction in lineage choices is characterized by genome-wide increases in histone H3K9 methylation that mediates global chromatin-silencing and somatic identity. Tissue-resident CNS-derived hNSCs have acquired a substantial number of additional histone H3K9 methylation, therefore, more silenced chromatin. These data suggest that the intrinsic plasticity and regenerative potential of human stem cell derivatives can be differentiated by their epigenomic landscape features, and that human stem cell derivatives retain more open epigenomic landscape, therefore, more developmental potential for scale-up regeneration, when derived from the hESCs <i>in vitro</i> than from the CNS tissue <i>in vivo</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":89995,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regenerative medicine","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3736349/pdf/nihms456055.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31650417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac maturation and senescence is based largely on studies at the whole-heart level. Here, we investigate the molecular basis of the acquired quiescence of purified neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes, and use microRNA interference as a novel strategy to promote cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry. Expression of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and positive modulators were down-regulated, while CDK inhibitors and negative cell cycle modulators were up-regulated during postnatal maturation of cardiomyocytes. The expression pattern of microRNAs also changed dramatically, including increases in miR-29a, miR-30a and miR-141. Treatment of neonatal cardiomyocytes with miRNA inhibitors anti-miR-29a, anti-miR-30a, and antimiR-141 resulted in more cycling cells and enhanced expression of Cyclin A2 (CCNA2).
