Preoperative β-lactam antibiotic prophylaxis is superior to bacteriostatic alternatives in immediate expander-based breast reconstruction.

TL;DR: The use of β-lactam antibiotics for pre-/peri-operative prophylaxis is superior to alternative antibiotics with a bacteriostatic mechanism of action regarding rates of postoperative infection and reconstructive failure.

Xenogeneic Skin Transplantation Promotes Angiogenesis and Tissue Regeneration Through Vitamin D-Activated Trem2+ Macrophages

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated changes in collagen architecture after xenogeneic implantation of clinically available human biologic scaffolds and found that collagen deposition in response to the implant of human split-thickness skin grafts containing live cells recapitulates normal skin architecture, whereas human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) grafts led to highly aligned collagen deposition, characteristic of fibrosis and scar.

QS4. Rac2 Signaling Mediates Pathologic Foreign Body Response to Implanted Devices

TL;DR: In this article , small molecule inhibitors of mechanotransduction signaling were employed to target FBR and analyzed its effect on FBR capsule formation using immunostaining and histopathology, showing that pharmacological inhibition of Rac2 could potentially serve as an effective therapy to reduce FBR in patients receiving biomedical implants.
