The Immobilization of Hyaluronic Acid in 3D Hydrogel Scaffolds Modulates Macrophage Polarization

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
This study explores the use of collagen‐hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels for the 3D culture of macrophages, providing a useful tool for modelling macrophage behavior in tissues and diseases. It highlights how hydrogel composition, mechanical properties, and preparation methods influence macrophage behavior, revealing for the first time that HA's ...

Force transmission in migrating cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2010
During cell migration, forces generated by the actin cytoskeleton are transmitted through adhesion complexes to the substrate. To investigate the mechanism of force generation and transmission, we analyzed the relationship between actin network velocity and traction forces at the substrate in a model system of persistently migrating fish epidermal ...

What Is the Role of Giant Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT) Structures in T Cell Activation?

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
The article explores the discovery of unusually large, ring‐shaped ESCRT protein structures formed by immune and stromal cells. It investigates their formation, composition, and potential roles in immune synapse formation. The findings challenge assumptions about their function in immunological synapses, suggesting an exclusive role in maintaining ...

Differentiation Treatment Applied to Lung Cancer Model Reduces Pathogenic Traits in Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Non‐small cell lung cancer cells (A549) treated with a differentiation medium showed strong reduction in proliferation, migration, clonogenicity, spheroid formation and stemness markers, with enhanced adhesion properties and alveolar features, all pointing to a notably less aggressive phenotype in support of differentiation therapy as a promising ...

Osteocytes under Mechanical Loading Regulate PC‐3 Cancer Cell–Mineral Interactions during Early‐Stage Metastasis to Bone

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, Seaman et al. develop a co‐culture assay to examine interactions between prostate cancer cells and mineralized osteoblasts in a microfluidic platform. The authors collect conditioned media from static or flow‐stimulated osteocytes and demonstrate that mechanical loading of osteocytes regulates the growth of prostate cancer cells and ...

Adjustment of Coatings Morphology and Particle Distribution of Layered Silicates by Freeze‐Drying for Improved Gas Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Freeze‐drying of layered silicate is the key to get coatings with superior gas barrier. Freeze‐drying of layered silicates modified with dodecylamine (DDA) is a highly effective technique for the preparation of barrier pigments that significantly mitigate the permeation of oxygen, water vapor, and hydrogen through polymer films containing these ...
