Biomechanical study of cellulose scaffolds for bone tissue engineering in vivo and in vitro.

M. Leblanc Latour, M. Tarar, R. J. Hickey, C. M. Cuerrier, I. Catelas, A. Pelling

This study evaluates apple-derived cellulose scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, showing good biocompatibility and osteogenic potential but lower mechanical strength than native bone.

Plant Scaffolds Support Motor Recovery and Regeneration in Rats after Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

D. J. Modulevsky, C. M. Cuerrier, M. Leblanc-Latour, R. J. Hickey, R.-J. K. Obhi, I. Shore, A. Galuta, K. L. A. Walker, E. C. Tsai, A. E. Pelling

This study shows that decellularized plant scaffolds improve motor function and support neural regeneration in rats with spinal cord injury without additional therapies.

Gut feelings begin in childhood: how the gut metagenome links to early environment, caregiving, and behavior

J. Flannery, K. Stagaman, A. R. Burns, R. J. Hickey, L. E. Roos, R. J. Giuliano, P. Fisher, T. Sharpton

The paper links gut microbiome composition to behavioral development in early school-aged children, showing associations with socioeconomic factors and specific taxa and functional modules.

Cleanliness in context: reconciling hygiene with a modern microbial perspective

R. Vandegrift, A. C. Bateman, K. N. Siemens, M. Nguyen, J. L. Green, K. G. Van Den Wymelenberg, R. J. Hickey

The paper redefines hygiene as actions reducing pathogen spread rather than microbial load, and suggests using health outcomes to resolve debates on hand drying methods.
