Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

Chemical and conformational changes in proteins through clean label strategies for enhanced functionality: Recent advances

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Process‐based functionalization of food materials has gained immense interest as they contribute to the development of clean label ingredients that can offer similar functional properties as food additives of synthetic origin. Chemical and conformational changes in proteins can induce diverse and targeted functionalities that can be useful as ...

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging–Guided Proteomics, an Emerging Frontier in Spatial Biology

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial heterogeneity is a defining feature of tissue organization, yet conventional proteomic analysis provides limited information about the spatial origins of identified proteins. Spatially guided proteomics addresses this limitation by using tissue imaging techniques to select regions of interest (ROIs) for localized analysis by liquid ...

Current Trends and Future Prospects of Integrating Electrospinning With 3D Printing Techniques for Mimicking Bone Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1481-1504, 15 March 2025.
ABSTRACT This article presents a review of the recent findings on the combination of electrospun nanofibers and three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed structures for extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. We explore the synergy between electrospinning (ES), which produces highly porous, fibrous structures from materials like collagen

Urinary Soluble Collagen Levels Are Associated With Moderate/Severe LUTS

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Expansion of the stromal compartment of the prostate concurrent with fibroblast activation and increased collagenization is now recognized as a pathobiology likely contributing to Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). However, approaches to quantitatively and, ideally, non‐invasively, assess prostatic collagenization in vivo are not ...

Exploiting Phase Partitioning of a Giant Trimeric Fibrous Protein Scaffold to Potentiate Chitinase‐Driven Antifungal Activity

Small, EarlyView.
Cstalk, a giant fibrous protein, selectively partitions into the dextran‐rich phase in polyethylene glycol/dextran aqueous two‐phase systems, functioning as a recruiter for proteins of interest. This phase‐selective recruitment can be extended to fungal cell walls, enabling the targeted localization of enzymes and enhancing antifungal activity through ...

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

Small, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Matricryptins network with matricellular receptors at the surface of endothelial and tumor cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
The extracellular matrix is a source of bioactive fragments called matricryptins or matrikines resulting from the proteolytic cleavage of extracellular proteins (e.g. collagens, elastin and laminins) and proteoglycans (e.g. perlecan).
