4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Fact versus artifact: Avoiding erroneous estimates of sulfated glycosaminoglycan content using the dimethylmethylene blue colorimetric assay for tissue-engineered constructs [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2015 The 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) assay is widely used to quantify sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) contents of engineered tissues, culture media, tissue samples and bodily fluids, but the assay is subject to interference from polyanions such as ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers discovered that fibronectin fibers lose their tension in specific areas of glioblastoma brain tumors, accumulating in the lumen of proliferating blood vessels and in parenchyma next to infiltrating immune cell clusters. A novel molecular tension probe enables the mapping of fibronectin's fiber tension in glioblastoma for the first time ...
