Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Measuring and Validating the Levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Human Serum

eNeuro, 2018
Visual Abstract Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) secreted by neurons is a significant component of synaptic plasticity. In humans, it is also present in blood platelets where it accumulates following its biosynthesis in megakaryocytes.
