Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

The role of mitochondria-associated membranes mediated ROS on NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiovascular diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism is essential for the homeostasis of cells. Appropriate production of ROS is an important signaling molecule, but excessive ROS production can damage cells.

Tricuspid valve dysplasia in dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A general overview of tricuspid valve dysplasia in dogs is presented in this review. This congenital disease has been described in numerous large dog breeds but especially the Labrador retriever is predisposed.

Non-pathological Chondrogenic Features of Valve Interstitial Cells in Normal Adult Zebrafish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
n the heart, unidirectional blood flow depends on proper heart valve function. As, in mammals, regulatory mechanisms of early heart valve and bone development are shown to contribute to adult heart valve pathologies, we used the animal model zebrafish (

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Repeat Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Follow-Up of Embolized Transcatheter Heart Valve After 13 Years

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2021
A 79-year-old woman was treated with a 23-mm balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) that was initially complicated by an embolized THV requiring deployment in the descending aorta. She presented 13-years later with a degenerated bioprosthesis

Innovative Modeling of Outcome in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the normal heart both left and right ventricle have a valve at the atrio-ventricular connection and at the ventriculo-arterial connection. In the left ventricle the inflow valve is the mitral valve and the outflow valve is the aortic valve.

Supramolecular Additive Screening to Engineer Microfibrous Rafts for Expansion of Pluripotent Stem Cells in Dynamic Suspension

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Segmented PCL‐bisurea (BU) polymers and BU‐peptide conjugate additives assemble into fibrous superstructures at the nanoscale through a mix‐and‐matching strategy. Different bioactivities are incorporated through variation of peptide sequences. The resulting materials are screened for their effect on stem cell adhesion and pluripotency.

Modeling the Mitral Valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This work is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves are anchored to the papillary muscles inside the left ventricle.
