Tuning Cellular Perception in Pluripotent Stem Cells through Topography, Stiffness, and Patterning

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nanotopographical cues, substrate stiffness, and mechanical patterning synergistically direct pluripotent stem cell fate and function by tuning cellular perception at the biointerface. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), comprised of embryonic stem cells and induced PSCs, hold tremendous therapeutic potential.

Impact of Interfacial Viscosity on the Robustness of Phospholipid‐Decorated Fluid Cell Scaffolds

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Viscosity‐tunable fluid scaffolds are developed by decorating a perfluorocarbon interface with phospholipid membranes (IPLMs) of varying unsaturated lipid contents. A solid‐like IPLM is cell‐adhesive but brittle, whereas the least viscous IPLM does not allow cell adhesion. Moderately viscous IPLMs serve as highly adaptive cellular scaffolds.

The Development of a Recombinant scFv Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Canine CD20 for Use in Comparative Medicine

PLoS ONE, 2016
Monoclonal antibodies are leading agents for therapeutic treatment of human diseases, but are limited in use by the paucity of clinically relevant models for validation. Sporadic canine tumours mimic the features of some human equivalents.

Biocompatibility of the Polymer Poly(Butylene Adipate‐Co‐Terephthalate) in the Cornea of Rabbits

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The biocompatibility of the PBAT in the rabbit cornea was evaluated through clinical assessment and histopathological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin, picrosirius red, and Masson’s trichrome staining. ABSTRACT In a novel approach to corneal biomaterials, this study evaluated the biocompatibility of heat‐pressed poly(butylene adipate‐co ...

Absence of FGF4 Retrogene Insertion on Chromosome 18 Results in a Tall Phenotype in Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen Dogs

Veterinary Sciences
Every dog breed has characteristic physical features that have been fixed through numerous generations of selective breeding. For the Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen (GBGV) breed, short-leggedness has been established as the breed standard.

Cardiosphere-derived cells suppress allogeneic lymphocytes by production of PGE2 acting via the EP4 receptor [PDF]

, 2018
derived cells (CDCs) are a cardiac progenitor cell population, which have been shown to possess cardiac regenerative properties and can improve heart function in a variety of cardiac diseases. Studies in large animal models have predominantly focussed on

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...
