Regenerative medicine is a scientific field that improves and repairs diseased injured tissues. Three-dimensional (3D) printing an innovative technology provides new application for regenerative medicine. 3D printed scaffolds by programming pore sizes shapes serve as temporary basis cells until the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) reconstructed. Dermal fibroblasts are mesenchymal located in d...

Background: Cadmium toxicity has been shown in aquatic animals but the effect on frog’s endocrine glands is not known. We investigated the effects of cadmium on ultimobranchial and parathyroid glands of Indian skipper frog, Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis.
