|
| Researchers dissected the role of SOX9-mediated cancer stemness attributes and immunosuppressive microenvironment in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma for novel therapeutic discoveries. [Gut] |
|
|
|
| The authors fabricated bioactive scaffolds through strontium incorporation based on our previously developed modified amino-functional mesoporous bioactive glass and systematically investigated the bioactivity of the resulting scaffold in vitro and in vivo in an osteoporotic rat model. [Bone Research] |
|
|
|
| Intelligent copper-dropped calcium carbonate (Cu/CaCO3) loading sonosensitizer Ce6 nanoparticles were established to realize tumor microenvironment-responsive self-supply of oxygen and successively Ca2+-overloading-strengthened chemodynamic therapy/sonodynamic therapy. [Small] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia, a crucial glial type for Drosophila motor axon ensheathment and the blood–brain barrier, to be essential for controlling the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1, a major regulator of the ECM. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed a dual stem cell approach for effective vascular regeneration by utilizing two distinct types of stem cells that continuously secreted stromal-derived factor-1α to simultaneously promote natal vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported for the first time that TGF‐β1/Smad3 could promote liver fibrosis by upregulating UCA1, which further affected DKK1 and collagen, such as COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL3A1. [Journal of Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators proposed an automated uni-/bi-directional perfusion bioreactor combinable with pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation for culturing 3D bone tissue models. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated, using an in vitro hyperglycaemia bone tissue engineering model, the differing effects of glucose levels, hypoxia, and chemicals known to stabilize HIF-1α on bone formation. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that the noncanonical Wnt receptor, Ror2, regulated tumor cell-driven matrix remodeling and invasion in breast cancer. [Molecular Biology of the Cell] |
|
|
|
| Investigators conducted skin regeneration in a rat model of full-thickness dermal wound by transplanting genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells seeded on a 3D collagen scaffold. [Journal of the Royal Society interface] |
|
|
|
| A complex combination of the simulated ECM was examined with a comprehensive analysis of cell response and a variety of controls. [Biomedical Materials] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors identify the challenges impeding translation of strategies and technologies for cell-based cartilage repair, such as the disconnect between university funding and regulatory requirements. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Advances in heterogeneous cell coculture systems using semi-permeable membranes have made it feasible to create in vivo-like microenvironments for a myriad of biomedical applications. [Trends in Biotechnology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the considerations for chiral supramolecular hydrogel design, as well as the influence of external stimuli on chiral hydrogel construction. [Wiley interdisciplinary Reviews-Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology] |

|
|
| Alume Biosciences, Inc. announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase III pivotal study of ALM-488, a peptide-dye conjugate that binds to the ECM of nerves, allowing real-time nerve illumination during surgery. [Alume Biosciences (Cision US, Inc.)] |
|
|
|
| Regen BioPharma, Inc. announced the development of a novel immunotherapy for treatment of solid tumors. The current approach developed by the company involves initial treatment of the tumor microenvironment with cells of the innate immune system called CAR-M and CAR-NK cells. [Regen BioPharma, Inc.
