A biomimetic approach to modulating the sustained release of fibroblast growth factor 2 from fibrin microthread scaffolds [PDF]

Exploration of BioMat-X
Aim: The pleiotropic effect of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) on promoting myogenesis, angiogenesis, and innervation makes it an ideal growth factor for treating volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries. While an initial delivery of FGF2 has demonstrated

Inhibition of Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 Mitigates Denervation‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Suppressing Proteolysis and Preserving Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

Zeb2 Controls Retinal Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis by Regulating Astrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

circRAD18 sponges miR-208a/3164 to promote triple-negative breast cancer progression through regulating IGF1 and FGF2 expression.

Carcinogenesis, 2019
As a new rising star of non-coding RNA, circular RNAs (circRNAs) emerged as vital regulators with biological functions in diverse of cancers. However, the function and precise mechanism of the vast majority of circRNAs in triple-negative breast cancer ...

Mifepristone inhibits MPA-and FGF2-induced mammary tumor growth but not FGF2-induced mammary hyperplasia.

Medicina, 2010
We have previously demonstrated a crosstalk between fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and progestins inducing experimental breast cancer growth. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of FGF2 and of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on the mouse mammary glands and to investigate whether the antiprogestin RU486 was able to reverse the ...

Human Embryonic Stem Cell‐Derived Immunity‐And‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis via MMP1‐Mediated Collagen Degradation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human embryonic stem cell‐derived Immunity‐and‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells (IMRCs) effectively attenuate pulmonary fibrosis by secreting Matrix Metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP1), which directly degrades excess collagen I in the extracellular matrix. By directly degrading collagen I, IMRCs reverse ECM stiffness, suppress myofibroblast activation, and promote a ...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid and Other Dentine Bioactive Molecule‐Releasing Agents for Regenerative Endodontic Procedures: A Systematic Review

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The bioactive molecules released from dentine are key to stem‐cell recruitment, proliferation and differentiation in regenerative endodontics. However, there is limited and conflicting information regarding current and potential agents for releasing dentine bioactive molecules for regenerative endodontic procedures.

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Cell Secretomes and Extracellular Vesicles for Craniofacial Regenerative Applications

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The scoping review summarizes the current preclinical and clinical evidence for the use of “cell‐free” therapies in craniofacial (periodontal, bone and soft‐tissue) regeneration. It also aims to highlight key challenges and strategies towards the clinical translation of these therapies.

Structural and biochemical investigation into stable FGF2 mutants with novel mutation sites and hydrophobic replacements for surface-exposed cysteines.

PLoS ONE
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is an attractive biomaterial for pharmaceuticals and functional cosmetics. To improve the thermo-stability of FGF2, we designed two mutants harboring four-point mutations: FGF2-M1 (D28E/C78L/C96I/S137P) and FGF2-M2 (D28E/

Ideal soft tissue graft in periodontal and peri‐implant applications: A scoping review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft tissue grafts (STG) are used in a wide range of clinical situations including volume augmentation, keratinized tissue increase, and recession coverage around teeth and implants. Each STG, produced from different sources and processed with various techniques, possesses unique material properties and interaction with the host tissues, which
