Microscopically Adaptable Bioink Guide Cell Compartmentalization toward Morphogenesis of a Functional Vasculature‐Like System

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Contractile vasculatures are fabricated through a one‐step bioprinting strategy. The adaptable microenvironment provided by ECM‐mimicking bioink triggers cell sorting and compartmentalization of endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells toward a histological configuration by focal adhesion kinase‐mediated upregulation of cell adhesion and ...

Uniting 4D Printing and Melt Electrowriting for the Enhancement of Regenerative Small Diameter Vascular Grafts

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid 4D printing strategy enables the fabrication of shape‐morphing, mechanically reinforced tubular constructs for vascular tissue engineering. By combining alginate‐methylcellulose hydrogels with melt electrowritten polycaprolactone fibers and protein‐based functionalization, this platform supports spatially organized co‐cultures of fibroblasts ...

Geometrically Controlled WNT Activation Drives Intestinal Morphogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Crypt‐villi‐like morphogenesis can be driven and controlled via architectural patterns in colorectal cells with the use of digital light processing printing. The resulting mini tissues exhibit budding structures and functionality, as evidenced by increased mucin expression.

Neurohormonal modulation of the Limulus heart: amine actions on neuromuscular transmission and cardiac muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The responses of Limulus cardiac neuromuscular junctions and cardiac muscle cells to four endogenous amines were determined in order to identify the cellular targets underlying amine modulation of heartbeat amplitude.

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.

Vascularized and Perfusable Human Heart‐on‐a‐Chip Model Recapitulates Aspects of Myocardial Ischemia and Enables Analysis of Nanomedicine Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This novel 3D human ischemic heart‐on‐a‐chip, with perfusable vasculature directly interfaced with myocardial tissue, replicates key aspects of ischemic heart injury. It also demonstrates the targeted delivery and therapeutic efficacy of cardiac homing peptide‐conjugated liposomes, validating the platform for drug and nanomedicine screening in ...

Development of a Vaginal Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel for Combating Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a vaginal specific ECM hydrogel (vECM) is developed, optimized for intravaginal topical administration, and evaluated for mitigatation of vaginal atrophy associated with menopause. When applied in a rat model of menopause, vECM improves vaginal epithelial thickness and stem cell phenotype, and despite topical application, vECM also ...
