|
| The authors showed that cardiac-specific RNA-sequencing studies revealed a disrupted embryonic transcriptional profile in the adult Nkx2.5 loss-of-function myocardium. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Researchers used cell motility assays and co-culture of mesenchymal stem cells with myoblasts to study their mutual effects on cell migration, differentiation, proliferation, and extracellular matrix formation. [Journal of Cellular Physiology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explored the role and potential mechanisms by which pericyte-myofibroblast transition contributed to subretinal fibrosis. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Upon adjusting the ratios of different materials, COF-3, showing the most comprehensive performance, best in vitro hemostatic effects, good gelation speed, and good cell compatibility, was selected. [Journal of Materials Chemistry B] |
|
|
|
| The authors combined computational approaches in the form of finite element analysis and experimental approaches by using a loaded femoral defect model in mice to investigate the role of mechanical stimulation in the microenvironment of bone. [Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists suggested that the combination of rotating magnetic field and octenidine dihydrochloride-based antiseptic could be particularly promising in eradicating biofilms located in areas such as wound pockets, where physical obstacles limit antiseptic activity. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) could facilitate the osteoblast differentiation and calcification of muscle-derived MSCs by up-regulating the expression of some typical osteogenic differentiation phenotype markers, such as runt-related transcription factor 2 and osteocalcin.

|
| Scientists review the impact of carcinoma-associated (CA)-MSCs on cancer progression and metastasis and the ongoing work on CA-MSC identification, nomenclature and mechanism of action. [Stem Cells] |
|
|
|
| Investigators outline the mechanisms mediating ECM-cell interactions and highlights how changes in the ECM modulate tissue development and disease progression, using the lung as the primary model organ. [Journal of Biological Engineering] |

|
| Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai recently announced the creation of the Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine, one of the first centers in the nation to bridge engineering and engineering science with medicine. [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute] |
