    Abstract Pancreas (and islet) transplantation is the only curative treatment for type 1 diabetes patients whose β-cell functions have been abolished. However, the lack of donor organs has been the major hurdle to save a large number of patients. Therefore, transplantation of animal organs is expected to be an alternative method to solve the serious shortage of donor organs. More recently, a method to generate organs from pluripotent stem cells inside the body of other species has been developed. This interspecies organ generation using blastocyst complementation (BC) is expected to be the next-generation regenerative medicine. Here, we describe the recent advances and future prospects for these two approaches.

    Abstract Interspecies chimeric assays are a valuable tool for investigating the potential of human stem and progenitor cells, as well as their differentiated progeny. This Spotlight article discusses the different factors that affect interspecies chimera generation, such as evolutionary distance, developmental timing, and apoptosis of the transplanted cells, and suggests some possible strategies to address them. A refined approach to generating interspecies chimeras could contribute not only to a better understanding of cellular potential, but also to understanding the nature of xenogeneic barriers and mechanisms of heterochronicity, to modeling human development, and to the creation of human transplantable organs.

    Abstract Autologous skin grafting is a standard treatment for skin defects such as burns. No artificial skin substitutes are functionally equivalent to autologous skin grafts. The cultured epidermis lacks the dermis and does not engraft deep wounds. Although reconstituted skin, which consists of cultured epidermal cells on a synthetic dermal substitute, can engraft deep wounds, it requires the wound bed to be well-vascularized and lacks skin appendages. In this study, we successfully generate complete skin grafts with pluripotent stem cell-derived epidermis with appendages on p63 knockout embryos' dermis. Donor pluripotent stem cell-derived keratinocytes encroach the embryos' dermis by eliminating p63 knockout keratinocytes based on cell-extracellular matrix adhesion mediated cell competition. Although the chimeric skin contains allogenic dermis, it is engraftable as long as autologous grafts. Furthermore, we could generate semi-humanized skin segments by human keratinocytes injection into the amnionic cavity of p63 knockout mice embryos. Niche encroachment opens the possibility of human skin graft production in livestock animals.

    Abstract Patients with permanent hypoparathyroidism require lifelong replacement therapy to avoid life-threatening complications, The benefits of conventional treatment are limited, however. Transplanting a functional parathyroid gland (PTG) would yield better results. Parathyroid gland cells generated from pluripotent stem cells in vitro to date cannot mimic the physiological responses to extracellular calcium that are essential for calcium homeostasis. We thus hypothesized that blastocyst complementation (BC) could be a better strategy for generating functional PTG cells and compensating loss of parathyroid function. We here describe generation of fully functional PTGs from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) with single-step BC. Using CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of

    Abstract Various markers of bone turnover are already under clinical use in Japan, and mostly for clinical investigation in some countries. Standard values including ranges and variations are summarized in the previous edition of the guideline. The information of additional new markers adapted by government is summarized including clinical features in the new edition 2012. Among the new markers, the methods for measurement for TRACP-5b and ucOC are developed in Japan. As P1NP and TRACP-5b levels are not affected by meals, biological variations are smaller compared with other markers. ucOC is unique because it is to evaluate vitamin K insufficiency for bone. New bone markers adapted in the Japanese guideline 2012 will facilitate clinicians to utilize of metabolic markers of bone for osteoporosis treatment.

    Abstract Bone mass of elderly women reduces after menopause, but the rate of reduction differ individually especially in the elderly, because bone metabolism of the elderly is influenced by many factors such as hormones, fractures, drugs, ability of exercise and/or nutritional level. Therefore, it is quite difficult to determine the normal ranges of the metabolism. As a whole, aging accelerates bone turnover slowly with wide range of individual variation. Subnormal renal function may effect on the excretion or metabolism of bone markers, such as osteocalcin. Urinary markers such as NTX corrected by urinary creatinine may be higher than the real level, because of low creatinine production in the elderly. These factors may influence on the elevated bone metabolism resulting in the discrepancy with morphometric evaluation.

    Abstract Introduction: Because aging is a predictor of renal insufficiency in the general population, renal function is a concern in postmenopausal patients undergoing treatment for osteoporosis. Although high serum phosphate concentration is a predictor of renal insufficiency, the effect of selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) on renal function and phosphate homeostasis remains to be established.
    Materials and methods: We administered 20 mg/day bazedoxifene to 48 postmenopausal osteoporotic women who had been taking alfacalcidol for ≥ 6 months, and assessed lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD), renal function (by calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate using serum cystatin-C levels [eGFRcys] [range 38.0-98.2 mL/min/1.73 m
    Results: LS-BMD was significantly higher 6 months after the initiation of bazedoxifene administration. eGFRcys had increased by 3 months after initiation and was stable until 12 months. Serum phosphate gradually decreased after initiation, reaching statistical significance at 6 months. The changes in serum phosphate were also significant when the maximum tubular reabsorption rate of phosphate was normalized to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR), indicating that bazedoxifene treatment reduces serum phosphate by increasing the urinary excretion of phosphate. The change in eGFRcys after the initiation of bazedoxifene was significantly negatively correlated with the change in serum phosphate, suggesting that a reduction in serum phosphate improves renal function.
    Conclusion: Bazedoxifene improves renal function, possibly by increasing renal phosphate excretion, in postmenopausal osteoporotic women without severe renal insufficiency.

    Abstract Endoscopic examination suggested gastric mucosal damage by NSAID is more serious than that of bisphosphonates. In addition, the incidence of GI-adverse effects (AEs) is reported to be insignificant, if the incidence is adjusted by history of peptic ulcer, drugs for comorbidity, sex, age and/or ways of evaluation of the AEs. The anxiety for taking medication under empty stomach may contribute to the increase of GI-AEs. Some consideration must be taken for patients with past history of peptic ulcer, and/or drug user such as NSAIDs.
