|
| Researchers found that fibroblast activation protein (Fap) was significantly elevated in osteoarthritic synovium, while the genetic deletion of Fap significantly ameliorated posttraumatic osteoarthritis in mice. [Bone Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the effect of viscoelasticity on migration and fusion behavior of MSC spheroids using hydrogels with a similar elasticity but different stress relaxation profiles. [Bioengineering & Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified a mechanosensing feedback mechanism between the ECM and cytoskeletal network that regulated mitochondrial function under healthy conditions. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) expression in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIM) in colorectal cancer tissue and investigated the effects of EBV on TIM composition and clinical outcomes. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the osteoregenerative capacity of collagen/chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffolds in rats with hormone deficiency caused by experimental bilateral ovariectomy. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed an injectable pig cartilage-derived decellularized ECM hydrogels for the repair of cartilage defects, which showed sound biocompatibility and immunomodulatory capacity both in vitro and in vivo. [Npj Regenerative Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the spatial correlation between the cells and the ECM in the growth plate matrix and basement membrane and investigated the expression of integrins—ECM receptors—in the cells. [Journal Of Anatomy] |
|
|
|
| A bi-functional EBP-PR1P peptide was designed and bridged vascular endothelial growth factor to injectable cardiac extracellular matrix. [Journal Of Biomedical Materials Research Part A] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists describe the behaviors of highly heterogeneous and plastic macrophage subpopulations which affect tissue regeneration, by reviewing the latest literature that explored the immune microenvironment mediated by ECM scaffolds. [Biomedical Materials] |
