Renin‐Angiotensin Signaling and Vascular Function: Insights into Health and Disease

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of vascular structure and function, and dysregulation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and associated vascular complications.

Cargo Stability of Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Non‐Diseased Sources: Effects of Storage and Handling Conditions

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale, membrane‐enclosed particles that transfer proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and other bioactive molecules between cells. Their cargo‐bearing capacity supports applications in drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and biomarker development, but ex vivo handling can alter vesicle recovery and cargo ...

Increased Expression of Desmin and Vimentin Impairs Mitochondrial Function and Reduces Contractility via G0S2 in Bladder Smooth Muscle

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 20, 31 October 2026.
Our previous study demonstrated that elevated levels of desmin and vimentin reduce BSM contractility. This study shows that the reduced BSM contractility is associated with mitochondrial impairment. G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2) is upregulated in desmin‐ and vimentin‐overexpressing BSM.

Serum Response Factor Cooperates With Progesterone Receptor to Regulate Oviductal Smooth Muscle Gene Expression During Preimplantation Embryo Transport

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 20, 31 October 2026.
Oviductal smooth muscle contractions are important for preimplantation embryo transport under the regulation of steroid hormone signaling. Deletion of serum response factor (Srf) in progesterone receptor (Pgr)‐expressing cells leads to differential expression of 1670 genes in the mouse oviduct, 306 of which are directly bound by SRF.

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 37, 9 October 2026.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

Upscaling the Fabrication of Rod‐Shaped Microgels: A Microfluidic Method Combining Step‐Emulsification With Consecutive Droplet Confinement in Parallelized Microchannels

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 59, 22 October 2026.
A microfluidic method is presented which enables parallelized fabrication of rod‐shaped microgels, based on step‐emulsification (SE) droplet generation and subsequent droplet distribution and confinement, combined in a single device. Microgel rods are fabricated in parallel at different flow rates based on two light‐mediated crosslinking chemistries ...
