| Investigators showed that proteinases played an important role in the maintenance of the epithelial barrier. Their results revealed a novel mechanism of tight junction (TJ) maintenance through the localized proteolysis of EpCAM at TJ leaks. [Journal of Cell Biology] |

|
| The authors incorporated calreticulin (CRT) via polyblend electrospinning into polycaprolactone/type 1 collagen nanofibers as biomimetic ECMs to provide a novel mode of delivery and protection of CRT with enhanced synergistic activities for tissue regeneration.

|
|
| Investigators found that radiofrequency ablation reduced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumor progression in vivo and promoted strong tumor microenvironment remodeling. [Cancer Immunology Research] |

|
|
| The functionalization of the multilayer with lipoplexes encapsulating DNA encoding for transient expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| The acemannan and native collagen-scaffold’s biocompatibility, growth factor secretion, osteogenic protein expression, and calcification were evaluated in vitro. [International Journal of Biological Macromolecules] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used an innovative approach to recycle the discarded varicose vein for isolation of endothelial cells and decellularization of the same sample to formulate the decellularized ECM bioink. [International Journal of Biological Macromolecules] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used dextran conjugated with poly(amidoamine) (Dextran-PAMAM) as a gene carrier to deliver MMP-9 targeted siRNA (siMMP-9). The prepared complexes could be endocytosed with low cytotoxicity to HaCat cells. [Bioconjugate Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| A full-thickness skin wound model was established in Sprague Dawley rats to evaluate the therapeutic effects of different poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) knitted mesh-collagen-chitosan scaffold against collagen-based scaffold.

|
| Scientists summarize the establishment and regulation of ECM stiffness, the mechanisms underlying how ECM stiffness is sensed by cells, and signals to modulate diverse cell metabolic pathway. [Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders] |

|
| A University at Buffalo researcher has been awarded a National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute grant to explore how changes in arterial stiffness elicit vascular smooth muscle cell behaviors that contribute to cardiovascular disease. [University at Buffalo] |
