Stochastic Ratcheting on a Funneled Energy Landscape is Necessary for Highly Efficient Contractility of Actomyosin Force Dipoles

open access: yes, 2017
Current understanding of how contractility emerges in disordered actomyosin networks of non-muscle cells is still largely based on the intuition derived from earlier works on muscle contractility.

Bioengineered Lymphatic Vessels in Synthetic Matrices to Study Breast Cancer Cell Functions

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Lymphatic vessels are involved in cancer metastasis. To study the interplay between metastasizing cancer cells and lymphatic vessels under highly reproducible conditions, advanced in vitro models are required. In this work, 3D lymphatic networks are formed in biomimetic hydrogels and their interactions with invasive and non‐invasive cancer cell‐lines ...

New Insights into Atonic Postpartum Hemorrhage: Animal Model Construction Based on Placental Nanodelivery Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a placenta‐targeted nanodelivery system co‐loading HMGB1 protein and the NLRP3 agonist nigericin to establish an animal model of atonic postpartum hemorrhage. The model accurately recapitulates clinical phenotypes, including prolonged labor and uterine contractility dysfunction, while revealing inflammatory activation in placental ...

Effects of indomethacin on prostanoid synthesis and vasomotor responsiveness in endothelium-denuded abdominal and thoracic aortas of Wistar rats

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2017
In endothelium-denuded abdominal (but not thoracic) aortas of rats, the nonselective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, indomethacin, suppressed contractions evoked by α-adrenergic agonists hypothetically mediated by prostanoids.

Geometrical Designs in Volumetric Bioprinting to Study Cellular Behaviors in Engineered Constructs

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Curvature and spatial confinement guide cell behavior in volumetrically printed 3D constructs. Endothelial cells align and spread along specific geometries, while metastatic osteosarcoma cells proliferate independently of structural cues. Label‐free holographic microscopy captures real‐time, long‐term cell–material interactions, highlighting Gel‐PEG's ...

TRPV4 activation by TGFβ2 enhances cellular contractility and drives ocular hypertension

open access: yeseLife
The risk for developing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) correlates with the magnitude of ocular hypertension (OHT) and the concentration of transforming growth factor-β2 (TGFβ2) in the aqueous humor.

Fibrillar Bundles as Fibrous Filler Materials for Attaining Cell Anisotropy in Bioprinting

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrillar bundles are introduced as a bioprintable additive that enables robust and scalable cellular alignment within 3D constructs through flow‐induced orientation during extrusion. These fibers support strong cell adhesion and polarization across various cell types and significantly enhance myotube alignment in Gelatine‐Methacryloyl (GelMA ...

Automatic construction of rules fuzzy for modelling and prediction of the central nervous system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The main goal of this work is to study the performance of CARFIR (Automatic Construction of Rules in Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning) methodology for the modelling and prediction of the human central nervous system (CNS). The CNS controls the hemodynamical
