Efficacy and Safety of Intra‐Articular Therapies for Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the most effective minimally invasive intra‐articular procedure for reducing pain and improving maximum mouth opening (MMO) in individuals diagnosed with painful articular TMD, specifically TMJ osteoarthritis and/or internal derangement.

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Peripheral regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors is limited despite activation of regenerative transcriptional pathways

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ‐LTMRs), sensory neurons responsible for discriminative touch, has not previously been explored. Here, we took advantage of the selective expression of Calb1 in Aβ‐LTMRs to generate two genetic mouse models for studying their regenerative response after nerve injury.

Stromal Cell‐Derived Factor‐1α (SDF‐1α)‐Gene Activated Scaffold and Angiogenesis Process in Tissue Engineering: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of in Vitro Studies

open access: yesMedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
The current systematic review revealed that stromal cell‐derived factor‐1α (SDF‐1α)‐gene‐activated scaffolds have a beneficial impact on promoting SDF‐1α gene expression and protein production. However, this effect is not observed for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression and protein quantity and endothelial formation, which may be ...

Numerical and Experimental Assessment of Oxygen Distribution in a Perfusion Bioreactor to Mimic the Osteochondral Niche

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 8, Page 2139-2152, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oxygen supply is a critical parameter in 3D cell cultivation using bioreactors. Since bioreactor designs often prioritise practical constraints, understanding the oxygen supply dynamics of the media is crucial for achieving either uniform or spatially controlled oxygen delivery.

MicroRNAs in Spinal Cord Injury: Molecular and Translational Insights

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate secondary injury cascades following spinal cord injury (SCI), including inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and demyelination. Key miRNAs such as miR‐21, miR‐124, miR‐219, and miR‐223 exert neuroprotective effects by regulating astrocytic response, axon regeneration, and remyelination.

Divergent Atrial Transcriptomic Signatures in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Diabetes alters the atrial transcriptome in atrial fibrillation, characterized by enhanced mitochondrial ATP synthesis, suppressed immune and inflammatory pathways, and distinct miRNA expression profiles, suggesting metabolic and epigenetic remodeling of the atrial substrate.

The Role of Meprins on the Brain Extracellular Matrix and Perineuronal Nets

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
Meprin β overexpression is implicated in Alzheimer's Disease. Recent studies identified brevican as a meprin β substrate, and this study demonstrates that meprin α co‐expression enhances meprin β‐mediated brevican cleavage. Further, neurocan and RPTPζ were identified as novel meprin β substrates in an N‐terminomics analysis of meprin β transgenic mice,

Synthetic Ligands of Myeloid C‐Type Lectin Receptors

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Binding of ligands to C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) on myeloid cells can lead to an array of cellular responses. Exploitation of these receptors for therapeutic purposes requires high‐affinity ligands. This review surveys the diversity of synthetic ligands of myeloid CLRs in the context of binding, signaling, and downstream effects, as well as ...
