|
| A strategy to fabricate PDGF-MP hydrogel microspheres instead of bulk hydrogels was proposed to dramatically enhance the efficiency of platelet-derived growth factor mimetic peptide in activating its receptor. [ACS Nano] |
|
|
|
| Researchers designed and synthesized advanced injectable cream-like hydrogels with multiple functionalities, including rapid gelation, self-healing, antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-cell adhesion. [ACS Nano] |
|
|
|
| The authors presented a microvasculature-on-chip model to investigate the singular effect of ECM stiffness and mechanical cyclic stretch on vascular development. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Using an optimized three-step decellularization and ECM extraction method involving chaotrope extraction and digestion via hydroxylamine hydrochloride, researchers generated coverage of the matrisome across 25 organs. [Journal Of Proteome Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators designed a heparin-based sericin hydrogel-encapsulated basic fibroblast growth factor to facilitate wound healing and skin regeneration. [Heliyon] |
|
|
|
| The authors performed label-free multiphoton microscopy of both fiber components from human skin specimens and propose a multi-fiber metrics analysis model for mapping the structural remodeling of the ECM in hypertrophic scars in a highly-sensitive, 3D manner. [Heliyon] |
|
|
|
| Understanding that various factors can influence collagen assembly, scientists studied the effect of electric field exposure and visualized collagen fibrils’ fibrillogenesis process under the confocal microscope [Biophysical Journal] |
|
|
|
| By making phospholipid liposomes bound with ECM, it was possible to generate stable liposomes despite rapid changes in osmotic pressure or external physical stimuli. [Biophysical Journal] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the interplay between damage-associated molecular patterns and antigens as the main inducers of innate and adaptive immunity to aid in manufacturing biocompatible grafts with desirable immunogenicity. [Biomaterials Research] |
|
|
|
| A better understanding of the matrikine landscape occurring with or even preceding obvious degenerative changes in joint tissues is needed and might help to identify molecules that could serve as biomarkers, druggable targets, or even be blueprints for disease-modifying drug osteoarthritis drugs.
