|
| Scientists proposed that the specific protein assemblies within the cell-derived ECM, whose morphological features are widely tailorable, and could be employed as versatile biotemplates. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Inspired by the bone tissue composition, a novel pearl powder hybrid fish gelatin methacrylate hydrogel scaffold loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor for bone regeneration was presented. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| The hybrid cell membrane (MM) loaded small interfering RNA-polyvinylimide (siRP) was synthesized as siRNA@MMs to coat on polylactone electrospun fibers for mimicking the natural bone matrix. [Small] |
|
|
|
| To recapitulate the remodelability of the neural ECM, scientists developed a family of protein-engineered hydrogels that exhibited tunable stress relaxation rates. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Genetic manipulation and single-cell transcriptomics showed that the receptor signals activation of an “extracellular matrix remodeling” transcriptional program in a macrophage subset, which served as a key regulator of matrix composition and turnover. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| The viral protein VP33L was identified as a novel component of virus-mock basement membrane (VMBM), and the way it participates in VMBM assembly was investigated. [Journal Of Virology] |
|
|
|
| Osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage was obtained from OA knees at macroscopically preserved areas and degenerated areas, while control cartilage was collected from non-arthritic knees. Released proteins were obtained by repeatedly applying compressive loading, which simulated loading on cartilage in vivo. [Scientific Reports] |

|
Researchers presented proof-of-concept to use machine learning tools to predict the role of the interactions between cells and the ECM in the self-organization of cell-laden hydrogels grown in tethered molds. [Physical Biology] |
| | |
|
|
| The authors review the current literature about ECM remodeling by matrix metalloproteinase in intestinal fibrosis and their potential role as biomarkers for disease progression or druggable targets. [Journal Of Crohns & Colitis] |

|
| Keep working on it. That’s the reaction of US science watchdog groups to the first attempts by federal health agencies to flesh out a promise by President Joe Biden to restore trust in government by ensuring that government scientists are free to do their jobs without political meddling.
