    Hierarchical Composite Scaffold with Deferoxamine Delivery System to Promote Bone Regeneration via Optimizing Angiogenesis

    A hierarchical composite scaffold with deferoxamine (DFO) delivery system was developed, focusing on vascularized bone regeneration. The hierarchical structure imitated the microstructure of natural bone and interacted with the local ECM, facilitating cell adhesion and proliferation.

    Synaptic Dysfunction and Extracellular Matrix Dysregulation in Dopaminergic Neurons from Sporadic and E326K-GBA1 Parkinson’s Disease Patients

    Researchers investigated the electrophysiological properties, synaptic activity, and gene expression differences in dopaminergic neurons derived from iPSCs of healthy controls, sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, and PD patients with E326K-GBA1 mutations.

    Efficient Healing of Diabetic Wounds by MSC-EV-7A Composite Hydrogel via Suppression of Inflammation and Enhancement of Angiogenesis

    Investigators proposed that MSC-extracellular vesicles (EVs) could be combined with histone deacetylase 7-derived 7-amino-acid peptide (7A) to greatly promote diabetic wound healing. The combination of EVs and 7A significantly improved the migration and proliferation of skin fibroblasts.

    Reconstruction of the Human Nipple–Areolar Complex: A Tissue Engineering Approach

    Human nipple–areolar complex were harvested from cadaveric donors and decellularized using sequential detergent baths. Cellular clearance and ECM preservation were analyzed by histology, as well as by DNA, ECM proteins, growth factors, and residual sodium dodecyl sulfate quantification.

    Scientists Discover How Breast Cancer Outsmarts Starvation

    Lead researcher Dr. Elena Rainero, from the University of Sheffield’s School of Biosciences, and her team investigated how tumors continue to grow – despite the lack of nutrients in the ECM – and how the tumor cells supply themselves with the raw materials to support their growth.
