A Technique for Human Skin Grafting in a Mouse Model

2025
This video demonstrates a method for grafting human skin onto an immunodeficient mouse with a suppressed neutrophil response. The method involves applying human split-thickness skin to the mouse's graft bed, sealing it, and covering it for recovery. Eventually, the human skin adheres to the mouse's skin, establishing vascularization and circulation, resulting in a successful skin xenograft.

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species. Plant tissue culture depends on the ability of plant tissue to give rise to an entire new plant when provided with a growth medium and appropriate environment. This ability of plant cells or tissues is termed ‘totipotency.’ The fundamental steps...

Technique of Subnormothermic Ex Vivo Liver Perfusion for the Storage, Assessment, and Repair of Marginal Liver Grafts

Marginal grafts, such as fatty livers, grafts from older donors, or livers retrieved after cardiac death (DCD) tolerate conventional, cold static storage only poorly. We developed a novel model of subnormothermic ex vivo liver perfusion for preservation, assessment, and repair of marginal liver grafts prior to transplantation.
FAQs
The cambium layers are the critical contact points during grafting because their alignment allows vascular tissues to reconnect across the junction. Once reconnection occurs, the joined plant can transport water and minerals from the root system and sugars from the shoot. Poor alignment can therefore prevent the tissues from functioning together as one individual.
The scion contributes the desired shoot or plant variety, while the rootstock contributes the established root system and its environmental adaptations. This division lets growers retain valuable or productive shoot characteristics while gaining root-associated tolerance to drought, salinity, soil-borne pathogens, or poor soils. The result combines traits that one plant may not provide alone.
Environmental stress often affects root function and shoot productivity differently. A stress-adapted rootstock can support a scion that is productive but sensitive to drought, salinity, pathogens, or poor soil conditions. By linking these tissues, grafting may improve establishment and reduce losses while maintaining the desired above-ground variety in challenging environments.
The basic workflow is to select a scion for its desired shoot or variety and a rootstock for its root-system characteristics, join their tissues, and align the cambium layers at the connection. The joined tissues must then reconnect so vascular transport can resume. The procedure succeeds when the two parts develop as a functioning individual.
Grafting is particularly useful when valuable plant varieties face environmental limitations that their own root systems may not tolerate well. Pairing those varieties with adapted rootstocks can support establishment in drought, saline, pathogen-affected, or poor soils. It also helps preserve desirable varieties and reduce losses when changing environmental conditions make conventional establishment less reliable.
Evaluation can focus on whether the joined plant functions as a connected system and whether transport between the rootstock and scion is maintained. Relevant outcomes include improved establishment, reduced losses, preservation of the intended variety, and more efficient use of environmental resources. These outcomes help assess whether the rootstock provides a meaningful advantage under the tested conditions.
