|
| Investigators constructed a double-sided thermoresponsive mechanoactive hydrogel that combined good flexibility, self-healing, wet-tissue adhesion, and antibacterial functions. [ACS Nano] |

|
| Lung tissue from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) bases were more fibrotic than in apices and MMP7 protein was elevated in IPF lung base tissue. [European Respiratory Journal] |
|
|
|
| Scientists have developed hydrogels from decellularized human and bovine endometrium. They found that organoids grown in endometrial hydrogels were proteomically more similar to the native tissue than those cultured in Matrigel.

|
| Researchers identified ECM proteins mediating a basement membrane (BM) linkage between the uterine utse and epidermal seam cell BMs in Caenorhabditis elegans that supports the uterus during egg-laying. [Journal of Cell Biology] |

|
| Fibulin 7 interacted with structural ECM and matricellular proteins, and the overexpression of fibulin 7 in primary keratinocytes resulted in slower proliferation and suppressed differentiation. [EMBO Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers sought to determine the effects of extracellular adhesion provided by ECM of tumor microenvironment on immune cell cytotoxicity by devising microwell arrays coated with proteins either preventing or promoting cell adhesion. [Frontiers in Immunology] |

| The authors investigated the role of heparan sulfate in endothelial differentiation and vasculogenesis of dental pulp stem cells. [Journal of Dental Research] |

|
| Scientists address the question of how MMP activity is associated with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, particularly their induction due to sterile or nonsterile chorioamnionitis. [American Journal of Reproductive Immunology] |

| Wuertz-Kozak recently received more than $400,000 from the Congressional Directed Medical Research Program to investigate new therapeutic approaches for scleroderma, a chronic autoimmune disease that involves an overproduction of collagen, also referred to as fibrosis.
