Quantification of cell contractile behavior based on non-destructive macroscopic measurement of tension forces on bioprinted hydrogel [PDF]

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials, 2022, 134, pp.105365, 2023
Contraction assay based on surface measurement have been widely used to evaluate cell contractility in 3D models. This method is straightforward and requires no specific equipment, but it does not provide quantitative data about contraction forces generated by cells.

Hypoxic mesenchymal stem cell‐conditioned medium accelerates wound healing by regulating IL‐10 and TGF‐β levels in a full‐thickness‐wound rat model

Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Full‐thickness wound healing is a complex process requiring a well‐orchestrated mechanism of various factors, including cytokines, particularly interleukin (IL)‐10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β.

Single-cell analysis uncovers fibroblast heterogeneity and criteria for fibroblast and mural cell identification and discrimination

Nature Communications, 2020
Many important cell types in adult vertebrates have a mesenchymal origin, including fibroblasts and vascular mural cells. Although their biological importance is undisputed, the level of mesenchymal cell heterogeneity within and between organs, while ...

Action potential propagation and block in a model of atrial tissue with myocyte-fibroblast coupling [PDF]

Mathematical Medicine and Biology: A Journal of the IMA 38(1), 106-131 (2021), 2020
The electrical coupling between myocytes and fibroblasts and the spacial distribution of fibroblasts within myocardial tissues are significant factors in triggering and sustaining cardiac arrhythmias but their roles are poorly understood. This article describes both direct numerical simulations and an asymptotic theory of propagation and block of ...

Developmentally regulated expression of integrin alpha-6 distinguishes neural crest derivatives in the skin

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Neural crest-derived cells play essential roles in skin function and homeostasis. However, how they interact with environmental cues and differentiate into functional skin cells remains unclear.

Arterial wall fibrosis in Takayasu arteritis and its potential for therapeutic modulation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Arterial wall damage in Takayasu arteritis (TAK) can progress despite immunosuppressive therapy. Vascular fibrosis is more prominent in TAK than in giant cell arteritis (GCA).

Differences in cytotoxicity between 5% tetracycline hydrochloride and 15% EDTA as root canal irrigant

Dental Journal, 2008
5% tetracycline hydrochloride and 15% EDTA as a root canal irrigant have been proven to be able to remove smear layer, open dentinal tubules and have antimicrobial activity. An effective root canal irrigation solution must be able to dissolve organic and

Addendum: Action potential propagation and block in a model of atrial tissue with myocyte-fibroblast coupling [PDF]

, 2021
The analytical theory of our earlier study (Mortensen et al. (2021), Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 38(1), pp. 106-131) is extended to address the outstanding cases of fibroblast barrier distribution and myocyte strait distribution. In particular, closed-form approximations to the resting membrane potential and to the critical parameter values for ...
