Abstract: A method of making an implantable scaffold for repairing damaged or diseased tissue includes the step of suspending pieces of an extracellular matrix material in a liquid. The extracellular matrix material and the liquid are formed into a mass. The liquid is subsequently driven off so as to form interstices in the mass. Porous implantable scaffolds fabricated by such a method are also disclosed.

Abstract: The method represents a further development of a cell-colonization process, in which biological cells are colonized on a synthetic or natural tissue matrix in order to obtain a tissue implant or tissue transplant. The growth of the cells, which in general come from the designated recipient of the transplant of implant, may be promoted by the addition of mediators, factors or co-factors. The factors or mediators are supplied by co-cultivating cells, which are particularly suitable for producing the factors, with the tissue.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions intended for the prophylaxis or the treatment of disorders related to GHLO infections in pets, the compositions are prepared using at least one strain of lactic bacteria and/or one of its metabolites or a medium fermented by at least one lactic bacteria that has been isolated and selected for its ability to display a strong anti-Helicobacter bactericidal activity in vitro.
