Article Abstract
Injuries characterized by significant loss of skeletal muscle tissue volume, known as volumetric muscle loss (VML), lead to substantial impairment in functional capabilities. Natural repair processes and existing medical interventions fall short of fully restoring function post-VML. Despite progress in the VML field, there is an unsatisfactory success rate, donor site morbidity, and inefficient reconstruction of lost muscle tissue. This leads to persistent strength and functional deficits, impacting the quality of life for VML patients. In recent years, studies have explored the potential of bioactive glasses (BGs) as crucial materials in regenerating tissues beyond the skeletal system. BG, used mainly in bone engineering, can aid muscle repair by releasing ions like calcium and phosphate to stimulate cellular response. However, current BG composites struggle to match the mechanical properties of soft tissues, limiting seamless healing. This review summarizes recent advances in various BG structures studied for skeletal muscle tissue regeneration.

Photobiomodulation and platelet-rich fibrin in the gastrocnemius muscle submitted to calcaneal tendinopathy in rats.

The study investigated the impact of different treatments on recovery from calcaneal tendinopathy in rats, focusing on the gastrocnemius muscle. Tendinopathy is caused by repetitive overload, leading to structural collagen damage and chronic muscle inflammation. Three therapeutic approaches were compared: photobiomodulation (PBM), advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) injection, and a combination of the two.

Introduction: Intrinsic foot muscles and the plantar fascia are crucial for foot health, which diminishes with age and conditions such as chronic plantar fasciitis (PF). Ultrasound (US) is an accessible and cost-effective method for evaluating these structures. This study aims to assess the repeatability, reliability, and validity of plantar fascia thickness and flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle measurements using US compared with MRI in individuals with and without PF.

Most animals experience abrupt developmental transitions involving major tissue remodeling, but the links with metabolic changes remain poorly understood. We examined ontogenetic changes in mitochondrial volume, oxidative capacity, oxygen consumption capacity, and anaerobic capacity across four organs (gut, liver, heart, and hindlimb muscle) in Xenopus laevis from metamorphosis to adulthood. These organs differ in the extent of developmental transformation.

Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecological tumors, characterized by excessive production of extracellular matrix. Despite their prevalence, the cellular mechanisms governing fibroid growth remain poorly understood. Current in vitro models for fibroids do not replicate the complex 3D tissue mechanics, structure, and extracellular matrix components of fibroids, which may limit our understanding of fibroid pathogenesis.

Purpose: To develop and validate a fast, motion-robust, free-breathing abdominal 3D T1ρ mapping method by combining variable-density diamond radial k-space sampling with fast-MAPSS (magnetization-prepared angle-modulated partitioned-k-space spoiled gradient-echo snapshots).
Methods: 3D MAPSS T1ρ imaging was performed at 3T using five spin-lock time (TSL) pairs in phantom scans and three TSL pairs in nine healthy volunteers. Phantom experiments compared Cartesian sampling (reference) with stack-of-stars and diamond radial sampling.
