Bioprinted Micro‐Clots for Kinetic Analysis of Endothelial Cell‐Mediated Fibrinolysis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
This paper describes the development of a microscale model that quantifies the breakdown of fibrin by endothelial cells. The small size scale of this engineered system enables fibrin breakdown to be observed without the addition of external activators. This system could help in identifying compounds which both promote and hinder thrombosis.

Induced innovation and relavtive factor share [PDF]

, 2011
We build up an induced innovation model based on Popp's article in AER, 2002. His model measured the effect of energy prices on energy-efficient innovations. Using the relative factor shares of energy and labor instead of the energy prices per se, we are

Glucocorticoids Alter Bone Microvascular Barrier via MAPK/Connexin43 Mechanisms

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
Osteoporosis induced by Glucocorticoids (GCs) is a common complication of long‐term GC use in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, often leading to an increased fracture risk. A 3D bicellular endo‐osteo microfluidic platform is developed to explore pathogenic mechanisms underlying GCs‐induced osteoporosis, highlighting a novel MAPK ...

Altered autophagic flux enhances inflammatory responses during inflammation-induced preterm labor

Scientific Reports, 2015
Cellular organelles and proteins are degraded and recycled through autophagy, a process during which vesicles known as autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes. Altered autophagy occurs in various diseases, but its role in preterm labor (PTL) is unknown.
