    Human‐Recombinant‐Elastin‐Based
    Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting of Vascularized Soft Tissues

    The use of recombinant human tropoelastin as a highly biocompatible and elastic bioink for 3D printing of complex soft tissues was demonstrated. As proof of the concept, vascularized cardiac constructs were bioprinted and their functions were assessed in vitro and in vivo.

    NOTCH1
    Is Critical for Fibroblast-Mediated Induction of Cardiomyocyte Specialization Into Ventricular Conduction System-Like Cells In Vitro

    Fibroblast-conditioned media (fCM)-mediated response seemed to be spatially-dependent as cardiomyocyte organoids treated with fCM had increased expression of connexin 40 and NAV1.5 primarily on its outer surface.

    SKELETAL MUSCLE CELLS

    Differential Effects of Right and Left Heart Failure on Skeletal Muscle in Rats

    Scientists compared skeletal muscle sarcopenia in a novel two‐stage model of right ventricular failure to an established model of left ventricular failure.

    Myogenin Is an Essential Regulator of Adult Myofibre Growth and Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

    By isolating adult myofibres with associated muscle stem cells investigators found that myog-/- myofibres have severely reduced nuclear number, but increased myonuclear domain size.

    A Defined N6-Methyladenosine (m6A)
    Profile Conferred by METTL3 Regulates Muscle Stem Cell/Myoblast State Transitions

    Researchers determined if m6A-modification deposition via METTL3 is a regulator of muscle-specific adult stem cell/myoblast state transitions in vitro and in vivo.

    Tamoxifen
    Accelerates Endothelial Healing by Targeting ERα in Smooth Muscle Cell

    Using three complementary mouse models of carotid artery injury, researchers demonstrated that both tamoxifen and estradiol accelerated endothelial healing, but only tamoxifen required the presence of the underlying medial smooth muscle cells.

    Abstract

    Direct
    Extrusion of Individually Encapsulated Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells Mimicking Blood Vessel Structures and Vascular Native Cell Alignment

    Prior to extrusion, the innermost cell encapsulating hydrogel was loaded with HUVECs, whereas the outer hydrogel was loaded with human aortic smooth muscle cells.

    miR-27a-3p
    Targets ATF3 to Reduce Calcium Deposition in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

    Scientists report that reduction of microRNA-27a-3p causes an increase in ATF3, activating transcription factor 3, a novel osteogenic transcription factor, in vascular smooth muscle cells.
