Quantitative cervicovaginal fluid fetal fibronectin: A liquid biopsy for intra‐amniotic inflammation
Introduction Intra‐amniotic inflammation is causally linked to spontaneous preterm labor. The gold standard for the diagnosis of intra‐amniotic inflammation is the determination of an amniotic fluid profile obtained from transabdominal amniocentesis ...

Inhibition of fibrous adhesion formation in the temporomandibular joint of tenascin-C knockout mice
Tenascin-C (TNC) is a large hexameric extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is expressed in developing organs and tumors. It has been reported that TNC is expressed in inflamed synovial membranes and deformed discs of temporomandibular joint (TMJ ...

Cell Surface Thiol Engineering Mechanoregulates Myogenic Differentiation via the FAK–PI3K–AKT Axis
Schematic diagram illustrating how cell surface modification of skeletal muscle progenitor cells through TCEP treatment reveals enhanced cell adhesion, intracellular tension, and myogenesis at 19.66 kPa stiffness, leading to optimal cell fusion. In contrast, no significant changes are observed in the softer (10.61 kPa) or stiffer (49.4 kPa) matrices ...
