A tissue graft for soft tissue repair or reconstruction comprising a sheet of a biopolymer-based matrix having a plurality of small perforations and a plurality of large perforations. The small perforations are sized to facilitate clotting and granulation tissue development within the perforations which, in turn, facilitates revascularization and cell repopulation in the patient. The large perforations are sized to reduce the occurrence of clotting and granulation tissue development within the perforations so that extravascular tissue fluids accumulating at the implant site can drain through the tissue graft. The large perforations enhance mammal tissue anchoring by permitting mammal tissue to compress into the perforations increasing mammal tissue contact area.

A printable composition for the manufacture of cell-receiving scaffolds comprising about 0.3 wt % to about 3.0 wt % of one or more collagens; about 5.0 wt % to about 40.0 wt % of one or more monomers; about 0.5 wt % to about 2.0 wt % of a photo initiator; and 0 wt % to about 75 wt % of a vehicle comprising a protic solvent, by weight of the printable composition; wherein the printable composition has a resolution of about 100 microns or less when printed, a photo speed (Dp/Ec) of about 0.1-5 mm (Dp) and about 10-100 mJ/cm.sup.2 (Ec) when printed, and a green strength of at least about 5 kPa after drying. The present technology further includes methods of manufacturing a three-dimensional cell-receiving scaffold using the printable composition.

The invention relates to a method for producing variables of interest relating to human or animal hepatic tissue from a digital representation of a histological section. Such a method is intended to be implemented by a unit for processing a medical imaging system to automatically and quickly provide diagnosis assistance, in particular for NASH, to healthcare personnel. The variables of interest respectively describe a level of steatosis of the hepatic tissue, a level of fibrosis in the portal, central and perisinusoidal areas of the hepatic lobule and a level of inflammation of the hepatic tissue. A method according to the invention further provides for producing a multiparametric indicator in the form of graphical representations arranged to be displayed by an output human-machine interface of the medical imaging system.

[Problem] To provide a method for producing an artificial three-dimensional muscle tissue, said method enabling stable, efficient and easy production of a muscle tissue, and an artificial three-dimensional muscle tissue produced by this method. [Solution] A method for producing an artificial three-dimensional muscle tissue, said method comprising steps of (i) forming a three-dimensional muscle tissue precursor, which is configured from a first muscle tissue support, a second muscle tissue support and muscle cells, by linearly arranging the muscle cells on the first muscle tissue support in such a manner that the muscle cells are located close to the first muscle tissue support at one end of the line and close to the second muscle tissue support at the other end of the line, and (ii) culturing the three-dimensional muscle tissue precursor to give an artificial three-dimensional muscle tissue, and an artificial three-dimensional muscle tissue obtained by this method.

The present disclosure discloses a preparation method and use of a crosslinked hydrogel for muscle stem cell culture, and belongs to the technical field of biological food materials. Chitosan, alginate, dextran and Ca.sup.2+ are crosslinked through physical crosslinking to form a double-network hydrogel with a high mechanical strength, the hydrogel is coated with heparin and collagen through dip coating, such that the hydrogel can immobilize growth factors and adhere to cells. Meanwhile, extracted primary muscle stem cells are inoculated onto the hydrogel and cultured in a growth medium (79% of DMEM, 10% of FBS and 1% of double antibodies) for 24 h. The cells are cultured in an incubator with a differential medium (97% of DMEM, 2% of horse serum and 1% of double antibodies) for 7 d. The hydrogel can enhance the absorption to nutrient substances by the muscle stem cells and facilitate growth of the muscle stem cells. The double-network hydrogel has the potential to be a scaffold for growth of muscle stem cells for cultured meat from stem cells.

Described is a crosslinked hydrogel for muscle stem cell culture and a preparation method and use thereof. The preparation method includes: dissolving collagen to prepare a solution and adding alginate and heparan sulfate proteoglycan and uniformly mixing with the collagen solution; adding ε-PL and TGase into the solution, uniformly stirring, and putting a slurry into a mold for crosslinking to obtain the hydrogel. The hydrogel is prepared by linking the collagen, the polylysine, and the heparan sulfate proteoglycan using the TGase to form covalent crosslinking, and forming a compact three-dimensional “egg box” network structure through a physical electrostatic interaction between the polylysine and the alginate.
