[Scientific Reports] On postoperative day three, histological changes, including chondrocyte death, reduced matrix staining, and superficial fibrillation, were observed. Simultaneously, a compensatory increase in matrix staining was observed.

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] Researchers reported that Smo-specific ablation in fibroblasts reduced tubular cell apoptosis and inflammation, enhanced perivascular mesenchymal cells activities, and preserved kidney function after acute kidney injury.

[Advanced Materials] Inspired by the natural environment of active proteins, scientists used the cell matrix components hyaluronic acid and protamine to self-assemble with proteins to form a protein-loaded biomimetic core and then incorporated it into ApoE3-reconstituted high-density lipoprotein to form a protein-loaded biomimetic nanocarrier.

[Biomaterials Advances] Decellularized extracellular matrix-derived from sheep muscle tendon junction (MTJ) was used to provide a scaffold for the MTJ with the relevant mechanical properties and differentiation cues such as the relase of growth factors.

[Hesperos, Inc.] Hesperos was awarded a $2 million research grant by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences in collaboration with the US FDA. The goal of the effort is to develop an advanced testing platform capable of assessing the potency of the Botulinum Toxin without the need for animal testing.

[Stem Cell Research & Therapy] To manufacture hematopoietic organoids, researchers obtained CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from human embryonic stem cells using stepwise induction and immunomagnetic bead-sorting.
