Our research revealed that the bioprinting field has advanced rapidly in the past two decades and is close to creating tissue products with high commercial and therapeutic value. We found that the commercial adoption of bioprinted products will likely occur for in vitro tissue models first, within 5-10 years, for simple tissue grafts like skin and bone second, in 10- 15 years, followed by vascularized patches and functional organ regeneration implants third, in 20-25 years, and organ transplants last, 3-4 decades in the future.

The results show a stable level of dSirt6 expression in the brain over the fly lifespan. A long-term decrease in dSirt6 expression in the AD model flies was also shown. However, the effect on dSirt6 expression in the AD models is dynamic over the lifespan and sex-specific.

This disruption has been shown to result in mitochondrial dysfunction associated with ROS dependent oxidative stress. Mitochondrial inheritance is entirely maternal, so mothers exposed to chemicals like Nitrogen Mustard face the risk of passing down damaged mitochondria in their oocytes to their children, as oocytes do not allow for the destruction of damaged oocytes through mitophagy.
