Exposure of larval pinto abalone to ocean acidification and warming negatively impacts survival, settlement, and size by Eileen H. Bates, Ryan N. Crim, Joshua V. Bouma, Jodie Toft, Jacqueline L. Padilla-Gamiño

“…We conducted an experiment to test how seawater pH and temperature stress impact abalone larvae. We exposed abalone post-fertilization to elevated temperature and reduced seawater pH for ten days spanning their larval development period: (1) 7.95pH/14°C (ambient), (2) 7.60pH/14°C, (3) 7.95pH/18°C, and (4) 7.60pH/18°C. …”

Divide-and-conquer strategy with engineered ossification center organoids for rapid bone healing through developmental cell recruitment by Xianzhu Zhang, Wei Jiang, Xinyu Wu, Chang Xie, Yi Zhang, Liying Li, Yuqing Gu, Zihao Hu, Xinrang Zhai, Renjie Liang, Tao Zhang, Wei Sun, Jinchun Ye, Wei Wei, Xiaozhao Wang, Yi Hong, Shufang Zhang, Youzhi Cai, Xiaohui Zou, Yihe Hu, Hongwei Ouyang

“…Particularly noteworthy is the specific expansion of Krt8+ SSCs concomitant with the simultaneous reduction of Has1+ migratory fibroblasts (MFs) post-OCO implantation. Furthermore, cross-species comparisons employing machine learning reveal high resemblance of the relative Krt8+ SSCs/Has1+ MFs composition in bone regeneration with that in public data from developmental bone tissues. …”
