|
| Researchers analyzed transcriptomic responses of human clinical isolates of S. aureus from initial and chronic infections. They observed upregulated collagenase and proline transporter gene expression in chronic infection isolates. [Nature Microbiology] |
|
|
|
| The authors observed that softer, lightly crosslinked hydrogels promoted greater cellular infiltration and resulted in smaller scars compared to stiffer, heavily crosslinked hydrogels. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| A novel core-shell microneedle (CSMN) patch was designed for the sequential delivery of tannic acid-magnesium complexes and extracellular vesicles from Lactobacillus druckerii. [Small] |
|
|
|
| A tumor-targeting TME and electric field stimuli-responsive nanozyme was developed, which was capable of catalyzing the generation of ROS to induce cell death and releasing carbon monoxide (CO) specifically in tumor tissues for on-demand CO therapy and immunotherapy. [Small] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) was overexpressed in metastatic small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors, and is positively associated with SCLC progression. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that Smac mimetic compounds (SMC) resistance was not due to a cell-intrinsic mechanism of resistance. They evaluated the contribution of glioblastoma and brain stromal components to identify parameters leading to SMC efficacy and resistance. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a novel agarose-collagen composite microsphere implant for skin tissue regeneration. Fabricated using an emulsification-crosslinking method, these microspheres exhibited excellent uniformity and sphericity, as well as attractive injectability.

|
|
| Cytokine secretion, macrophage adhesion and gene expression were measured by ELISA, confocal microscopy and RT-PCR. Cell adhesion and collagen secretion were evaluated in HGF cultures. [Journal of Materials Chemistry B] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the expression and significance of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 and ECM related proteins in anterior vaginal wall tissues among aged pelvic organ prolapse patients. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors examine the potential to extract value from the collagen content present in animal-derived waste and by-products. They provide a systematic evaluation of different species groups and discuss various approaches for processing and fabricating repurposed collagen. [International Journal of Biological Macromolecules] |
|
|
|
| Investigators review the application of Type II collagen in tissue engineering and highlight its crucial contributions to the regeneration of hyaline cartilage and intervertebral discs. [Communications Materials] |
| |
|
|
| BSF Enterprise announced that Kerato has entered into a Heads of Terms agreement and research partnership with the University of Montreal in Canada to develop an in situ gelling cornea that offers a novel treatment for corneal damage and full thickness perforations. [Med-Tech (BSF Enterprise)] |
|
|
|
| Dr. Ajisafe Victor Ayobami, who pursued his PhD in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering at the prestigious institute, emerged as a standout by developing innovative therapeutic biomaterials derived from snail mucus for the treatment of osteoarthritis. [Platform Times] |
