New, biomechanically sound tendon tissue after injection of uncultured, autologous, adipose derived regenerative cells in partial Achilles tendon defects in rabbits

This study injects uncultured autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells into rabbit Achilles tendon defects and finds improved biomechanical properties compared to sham treatment.

Ability of mycobacterial pathogens to establish a persistent infection is lost by deletion of a single gene, rel, regulator of the stringent response

The paper shows deletion of the rel gene in mycobacterial pathogens prevents persistent infection and impairs CD8 T cell responses in cattle, but not the timing or cytokine expression of the response.
