Biodegradable and Biocompatible Functional Polymers for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biodegradable and biocompatible functional polymers integrate electrical, mechanical, and stimuli‐responsive functionalities while enabling programmed degradation under physiological conditions. This review introduces recent advances in conductive, shape‐memory, self‐healing, photocurable, and adhesive polymer systems, emphasizing material design ...

Investigation of the spatiotemporal responses of nanoparticles in tumor tissues with a small-scale mathematical model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The transport and accumulation of anticancer nanodrugs in tumor tissues are affected by many factors including particle properties, vascular density and leakiness, and interstitial diffusivity.

Determination of glomerular permselectivity to neutral dextrans in the dog

open access: yes, 1983
The multiple-indicator-dilution (MID) technique was used to separate solute flux (Js) across the glomerular and postglomerular capillaries in vivo. Anesthetized mongrel dogs (n = 20) during mannitol diuresis received a pulse of extracellular indicators ...

ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...

Th17 Cytokines Disrupt the Airway Mucosal Barrier in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2016
Cytokine mediated changes in paracellular permeability contribute to a multitude of pathological conditions including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interferons and of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines

Di-iodo-l-tyrosine-labelled Dextrans as Molecular Size Markers of Nasal Absorption in the Rat

open access: yes, 1992
A series of fractionated di-iodo-l-tyrosine-labelled dextrans (DIT dextrans), with a narrow range of number average molecular weights from 1260 to 45 500 Da, was administered intranasally and intravenously to anaesthetized rats.

Engineered Microvascular Model of the Blood–Brain–Tumor Barrier Reveals Endothelial Remodeling in Diffuse Midline Glioma

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We developed a patient‐derived, functional microfluidic model of the diffuse midline glioma (DMG) blood–brain–tumor barrier (BBTB) comprised of endothelial cells, astrocytes, pericytes, and tumor cells. The system forms perfusable microvasculature, reveals the BBTB retains vascular integrity, identifies DMG‐specific transcriptomic changes distinct from

Inhibition of VEGF‐Induced Angiogenesis and Vascular Leakage by Bicistronic Co‐Expression of Aflibercept and COMP‐Ang1

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bicistronic rAAV8 vector encoding Aflibercept (Afb) and COMP‐cAng1 simultaneously coordinates VEGF clearance and Tie2‐mediated vessel maturation. In a 3D angiogenesis‐on‐a‐chip model, rAAV8‐Afb/cAng1 effectively reverses pathological barrier breakdown under clinical disease‐mimicking challenges.

Chromatographic Separation of Isomaltooligosaccharides on Ion-Exchange Resins: Effect of the Cationic Form

open access: yesAdsorption Science & Technology, 2012
Prebiotic isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) are composed of α-d-glucose units linked by glucosidic α (1Ø6) bonds and they remain intact until reaching the large bowels, where they are metabolized by bifidobacteria and lactobacillus.

A Novel Method to Image Macropinocytosis in Vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Here we described an experimental protocol for in vivo imaging of macropinocytosis and subsequent intracellular events. By microinjection, we delivered fluorescence dextrans together with or without ATPγS into transparent Drosophila melanogaster embryos.
