Expression of HMGB1 and NF-κB in Fetal Membranes of Premature Rupture of Membranes

Althea Medical Journal, 2023
Background: Inflammation, either sterile or infection-related, may lead to premature rupture of membranes (PROM). The non-histone nuclear proteins, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) transcription factors have been ...

Gasotransmitters in Modern Medicine: Promises and Challenges in the Use of Porous Crystalline Carriers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective provides an overview of the growing interest in utilizing various gasotransmitters—small gaseous signaling molecules namely nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S)—for several therapeutic applications, with emphasis on the potential use of porous materials as carriers to provide safe and controlled local ...

Encapsulation of Small Extracellular Vesicles into Selectively Disassemblable Shells of PEGylated Metal‐Phenolic Networks

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are encapsulated into protective shells composed of metal‐phenolic networks (MPNs) and secondary poly(ethylene glycol) layers. This surface modification approach enhances the storage stability of sEVs while maintaining their integrity and functionality. The shells can be selectively disassembled under mild conditions.

Thermal Annealing Enhances Piezoelectricity and Regenerative Potential of PVDF‐TrFE Nanofiber Scaffolds

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Thermal annealing improves the structure, stiffness, and piezoelectric properties of poly(vinylidene flouride‐trifluoroethylene) (PVDF‐TrFE) nanofiber scaffolds. These annealed scaffolds promote Schwann cell proliferation and matrix remodeling in vitro and demonstrate in vivo biocompatibility.

Fetal inflammatory response syndrome in extremely premature newborns

Репродуктивная эндокринология
Background. Fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) is a pathological reaction of the fetal immune system to infection of the amnion or inflammation of the chorion, which significantly increases the risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity ...

Premature rupture of membrane and associated factors among pregnant women admitted to maternity wards of public hospitals in West Guji Zone, Ethiopia, 2021

International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences, 2022
Background: Premature rupture of membranes is an important cause of perinatal morbidity, and mortality, and complicates about 8% to 10% of pregnancies. Preterm birth and prematurity are a result of premature rupture of membranes and are often associated ...

Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.
