Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses kidney diseases with a focus on kidney fibrosis and the models currently used. It highlights the limitations of animal and 2D in vitro models in replicating human kidney anatomy and physiology. Consequently, there is a significant need for humanized 3D in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, membranes and hydrogels, on‐chip ...

Novel Protein‐Rich Bioactive Bioink Stimulates Cellular Proliferation and Response in 3D Bioprinted Volumetric Constructs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes a protein‐rich, low‐cost, bioactive bioink, prepared by adding eggwhite powder to functionalize an established alginate‐methylcellulose hydrogel blend and enhance its cellular response. The bioink not only maintains favorable printability and high shape fidelity but also exhibits remarkable bioactivity, thereby improving the ...

Personal Health Knowledge Graph for Clinically Relevant Diet Recommendations [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We propose a knowledge model for capturing dietary preferences and personal context to provide personalized dietary recommendations. We develop a knowledge model called the Personal Health Ontology, which is grounded in semantic technologies, and represents a patient's combined medical information, social determinants of health, and observations of ...

Adding Appropriate Fiber in Diet Increases Diversity and Metabolic Capacity of Distal Gut Microbiota Without Altering Fiber Digestibility and Growth Rate of Finishing Pig

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The digestion ability of pigs to dietary fiber is derived from their intestinal microbiota, especially hindgut microbiota. However, tolerance of pigs to high dietary fiber and the changes of microbiota profile with fiber levels are still unclear.

Vitamin C‐Dependent Intergenerational Inheritance of Enhanced Endurance Performance Following Maternal Exercise

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that maternal exercise or vitamin C supplementation during pregnancy enhance offspring muscle function by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative fiber formation. This epigenetically driven improvement ultimately leads to higher endurance performance, strongly suggesting that sufficient maternal physical activity can ...
