Human sperm ion channel (dys)function:implications for fertilization [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: Intensive research on sperm ion channels has identified members of several ion channel families in both mouse and human sperm. Gene knock-out studies have unequivocally demonstrated the importance of the calcium and potassium conductances in ...

Enzyme‐Regulated Extended Swelling of Hydrogels for Dehiscence‐Less Tissue Expansions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An interpenetrating hydrogel network with swelling under regulation by enzymatic degradation (INSURED) is fabricated to avoid dehiscence. INSURED remains structurally intact post‐implantation, while HYAL injection enables control over the onset and rate of swelling.

A small population of hypothalamic neurons govern fertility: the critical role of VAX1 in GnRH neuron development and fertility maintenance. [PDF]
, 2016 Fertility depends on the correct maturation and function of approximately 800 gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the brain. GnRH neurons are at the apex of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis that regulates fertility. In adulthood, GnRH

Spontaneous pregnancies and determinant factors in infertility: A cross-sectional study
International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine, 2020 Background: The phenomenon of infertility may be derived from different factors - either in males or females or both genders, including few unexplained factors. It is generally managed by medical and surgical treatments.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel differentiation protocol for generating corneal stromal keratocyte‐like cells using drop‐on‐demand bioprinting and a collagen‐based hydrogel. The bioprinted constructs maintained a stable dome shape over 21 days while exhibiting upregulated CSK markers postdifferentiation.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Bone fracture healing is a complex, timely orchestrated scenario involving multiple cell types and a plethora of cytokines and regulatory factors. To gain further insight, an in vitro model to a) study macrophage polarization under mechanical load in a fibrin hydrogel and b) subsequently assess the effect of conditioned media derived from macrophages ...
