Figure Lengend Snippet: Prevention of neuroma formation by a spatially confined conduit filled with GelMA MAVP MPS. ( A ) Illustration of 3D-printed GelMA MPs loaded with MAVP and the proposed mechanism of action within the neural conduit. ( B ) Representative images and ( C ) quantitative scores of autotomy behavior over 12 weeks (n = 6). ( D ) Representative gait footprints at 12 weeks post-surgery. ( E ) Quantification of left hindlimb stance duration (n = 6) and ( F ) maximum contact area (n = 6). ( G ) IF staining of p-VEGFR2 activation and ( H ) IF staining of neovascularization marker RECA-1. (I) Quantification of p-VEGFR2-positive area percentage (n = 6). and ( J ) quantification of RECA-1-positive area percentage (n = 6). ( K ) Regenerated nerve length measurements (n = 6). Mean values are shown and error bars represent ± s.d., as analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey-Kramer test in ( C , E , F , I , J and K ). Biological replicates were used for all experiments. ns, p > 0.05, ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Boxplots of the expression levels (Transcript Per Millions: TPMs) of genes involved in HR: Rad51_1, Rad51_2, and Rad54 showing low expression levels (TPMs<50) in all conditions. Rad51_1 and Rad54 do not show any over-expression post X-rays radiation (500 Gy) whereas Rad51_2 shows a little over-expression 2.5 and 8 hours post radiation. Transcriptomic data from .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Spatial expression of genes involved in the HR repair pathway (Rad51_1, Rad51_2, Rad54) and PCNA in cryosections of the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga . The first row represents the DAPI staining, the second row the probe staining through ISH. The dotted violet line surrounds nurse nuclei, while the continuous red line surrounds a maturing oocyte, the green dotted line surrounds the entire section of a rotifer individual, the blue line surrounds the laid egg. The first column represents the hydrated non-irradiated rotifers (control), the second column hydrated rotifers 2.5h post X-rays radiation (500 Gy), the third column a hydrated rotifer 5-days post-irradiation with a developing oocyte, and in the fourth column a developing egg laid by a mother, 5 days post-irradiation.
