Hydration of vinyl ether groups by unsaturated glycoside hydrolases and their role in bacterial pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2008
Many pathogenic microorganisms invade mammalian and/or plant cells by producing polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (lyases and hydrolases). Mammalian glycosaminoglycans and plant pectins that form part of the cell surface matrix are typical targets for ...

Enhancing the Potency of Growth Factor‐Mimicking Peptides via Cross‐Presentation With Integrin Ligands

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Growth factors enhance survival and integration of transplanted Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC), but successful supplementation often requires supraphysiological growth factor doses, risking off‐target effects. Short peptide mimics like the knuckle epitope (KE) of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP‐2) can be covalently immobilized to ...

Sacrificial strategy towards the formation of vascular‐like networks in volumetric tissue constructs

BMEMat, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2025.
This mini‐review highlights the latest progress in the sacrificial template‐enabled creation of patent vascular‐like networks, which can be incorporated into volumetric tissue constructs. Such microchannel networks can provide an immediate supply of nutrition and O2 to those cells residing next to the channels.
