Introduction: Implant-based breast reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy remains one of the most frequently used methods of breast reconstruction in the US. Patients with large, ptotic breasts often face poorer outcomes. We hypothesized that implant-based breast reconstruction with auto-augmentation techniques can minimize problems with acellular dermal matrices (ADM) by using less, and providing the benefit of prepectoral placement.

The aim of this study was to grow axially vascularized soft tissue flaps in sheep using the arteriovenous loop (AVL) technique to be transplanted for defect reconstruction. This technique may be a promising alternative to conventional free flaps to further reduce flap donor site morbidity. In this pilot study, AVLs ( = 12) were created in the groins of six sheep, placed into an isolation chamber, and embedded in Matriderm®.

Chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) have lost the cellular bone characteristic of other jawed vertebrate skeletons. However, we identify cellular bone-like tissue in modified scales with enlarged bases, called 'bucklers' and 'thorns', which are distinctive for one group of extant batoids (rays). As placoid scales, they possess spines of orthodentine and osteodentine, but a unique basal structure.

Hybrid breast reconstruction (HBR) combines autologous tissue and bio-prosthetic breast reconstruction techniques. This method addresses many challenges associated with stand-alone techniques, including inadequate volume with autologous reconstruction and esthetic issues like rippling in implant-based reconstruction. However, despite its promising advantages, HBR remains underutilized.

: The treatment of burns is a socio-economic challenge for both patients and the National Health Service. Early debridement and skin graft reduces the risk of local and systemic complications. However, when skin autografting is unfeasible or contraindicated, alternative options are required.
